Hello
my friends,
Often
I am surprised when someone says, “oh, I didn’t know you did that.” So, I
decided to give you a look at what I do in my role as your Realtor®. It perhaps is too general to simply say I
help you buy and sell homes.
Of
course a few you will know – but some might surprise you!
When clients are selling:
1. When clients are thinking of
selling I often do a walkthrough of their home and property and point out what
experience tells me would be good tweaks to optimize profit. These need not be
big renos at all, but little things that are distracting to the home’s value.
2. Current Market Evaluations are at
no cost or obligation and give you a realistic idea of what your home can sell
for. (The science part of my skill.)
3. I strategize ideal timing to “launch”
and make sure outstanding photos are ready and outstanding wording is ready
too.
4. I help clients understand their
options on timing (i.e. you can set a possession time which gives you ample
time to move.)
5. Remaining pro-active on matters
of pricing is key to your best return of profit. You’ll hear from me often!
6. You will know in advance when you
have showings – and following showings hear from me about how it went and what
the prospective buyers thought of your home.
7. We’ll work up a strategy together
on handling short notice showings.
8. In my role to see you get the
most gain with the least pain I will be honest about any impediments to your
sale or showings (i.e. stinky cat litter….stinky hockey bags…)
9. I can help you relocate anywhere
in the world by finding you a great Realtor® in another location.
10.
I
have great contacts for everything from legal work to move out cleans to
handyman jobs. These are professionals I’ve used and trust.
When clients are looking to buy a home:
1. Meeting with buyers I ask
questions beyond just “how many bedrooms?” When I understand what is important
to you and your family I can use my experience and knowledge of the North
Okanagan to help you target the ideal neighbourhood.
2. I’ll set up an automatic e-mail
for you once we’ve zeroed in on the best criteria. This means the when this
property comes onto our “Matrix” system you will know right away!
3. My ear is to the ground with
respect to what might be available that is not currently listed. (i.e. “Pocket
listings.”
4. My experience is solid – whether working
with multiple offers, negotiating with tough sellers or dealing with grumpy
tenants.
5. If there are pitfalls to the
property I will let you know loud and clear. I will let you know if I see risk
or problems even if you love the home.
6. I will guide buyers step by step
and anyone who has worked with me has heard these words: “there are no stupid
questions.”
7. I encourage buyers not to make
rash decisions based on convenience. You are far better to be uncomfortable for
a brief time than to invest in the wrong home simply because it was available.
8. My approach is practical, yes,
but I also look for that moment when I see love for a home on a buyer’s face!
There is a match!
9. I have a host of professionals I
use to make sure you are safe and sound – from inspectors to lawyers to
specialists.
10.
While
keeping you safe….I will also give you a nudge if you become scared.
