Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Depends on the client and their preferred style of communication. I like to be able to meet and chat for either a buyer or seller consultation, and make sure we are a good fit to work with eachother. Personality is a huge part of it, and is what most differentiates one agent from another, so making sure you get along is huge.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taken classes to learn how to better serve both buyers and sellers, and received designations from said classes. I have also taken a class on negotiation since a skilled negotiator can make all the difference in the world in this market where things are so tight.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Buyers always get served for free, since I get paid by the seller when I help a buyer make a purchase.
Sellers will have the opportunity to negotiate an appropriate fee with me. Veterans, first responders, teachers, nurses and firefighters will always get discounts, and I am proud to work with them to help them get where they want to go.
How did you get started in this business?
I fell into it. A family friend suggested I look into it, and I jumped in with both feet a month later. The rest is history, as they say. I am grateful to be able to say that I have been in the top 5% for sales in the state these last 3 years running.
What types of customers have you worked with?
All types, same as any agent. Every person is different, and has their own set of needs, wants and wishes that need to be addressed by the agent. It is all about listening to what someone is really saying and figuring out how best to serve them, no matter what their situation.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I took a young couple out on a showing, and Mrs. Buyer was actually crying as she walked around the home because she loved it so much. We had to fight to make that home theirs, and beat out the competition through a creative offer and lots of good communicating, but we got it done. The home is now theirs and they are thrilled.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
As long as the agent has a few years of experience and at least a few dozen sales under their belt, they can do well enough at serving you most likely. But, again, it is mostly about personality. I might be a fantastic agent but be a lousy fit to work with a particular buyer who simply has a very different personality than I do. So don't just interview agents based on experience and sales history, but make sure you try to get to know them personally, and establish whether you like and trust them enough to give them the awesome responsibility of serving you in this hugely important transaction.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Where do you see yourself in 6 months. Without knowing the end, you can't know in which direction to take the first step. As a real estate coach, I am here to guide you and help you get where you want to go, but I need to know where that is so I can properly serve you. Whether buying or selling, each person and situation is very different, and we will need to work closely together to make sure we are on the same page. You tell me where you want to go, and I will help you make it happen.
