Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step is to have a consultation with the customer (whether buying or selling). I prefer to do the consultation in person. If it is not possible to meet in person, then a phone consultation wil suffice. The objective is to learn about the customer's needs. What is their reasons for moving (buying or selling), the desired areas, type of home, features they would like and also the desired price range.
If the customer has a home to sell, I will do a no-obligation assessment to let them know what needs to be done to sell their home for top dollar. Afterwards, I will also provide an estimated sales price for their home. If they need to find a home, then we will discuss what they are looking for in their new home.
If the customer needs a mortgage lender, I have several with whom I work closely. I have known most of them since I have been in real estate. I also have contractors who can help with any repairs or upgrades the customer might desire.
