All kinds of buyers and sellers, from first time to last time. I will break it down.
BUYERS
In the early years of one’s real estate career, an agent will typically serve many first time buyers, and for me, it’s no different. Reason being, if you’ve already bought a house, you probably already have a relationship with a Realtor. Since day 1, I have served many first time buyers, which has helped me have a wealth of knowledge to share with someone who knows relatively little about what to look for in a home, loan information, and grants, etc that help first time buyers offset closing costs and large down payments.
The next category that comes to mind is investors. Investors are always looking for something to buy!! Many investors will build relationships with lots of Realtors, to cast a wide net. My number one client is blessedly my husband – our journey as multi unit property owner operators has given me, through blood sweat and tears, a vast knowledge of what’s a good deal and what’s not, estimating repair costs, estimating ARV (after rehab value), and knowing what properties make sense in what kind of scenario. Fix and flip? Buy and hold? BRRR??
Lastly, I have been fortunate to serve a number of buyers who have experience in the market – typically, these clients come to me as referrals. I literally cannot say enough about the value of referrals. A person referring a client to me is one of the best feelings ever – not just because of the potential earnings but mostly because it means I’ve earned your trust as a great agent!! I’ve helped older clients find one level living, families find multigenerational single family buildings; investors looking for new properties. I am grateful for any buyer that comes my way!!
SELLERS
As my career progressed, I have begun to help more sellers. Woohoo!! I love all kinds of opportunities but listings tend to be less labor heavy 🙂 Not every potential sale is created equal. I have helped sellers with perfectly decorated, clean, updated homes. I also work with a lot of clients who need some guidance getting their home best positioned for sale. I can talk to you about short sale and preforeclosure. If your home would sell more easily off market, I can help with that too, but you’re more likely to leave money on the table that way. Small budget or big budget – I can help you improve your home pre-listing so you make as much money as possible on your sale. I can move fast if you need to, or we can take our time!
Whether a first time or last time buyer, or you’re an investor who’s always buying – I have worked with clients like you, and I know I can do a great job for you as well. If you have a property to sell, I understand how bittersweet and scary this often is, and while it will definitely NOT be a stress-free experience, I know that I can put many of your fears and concerns to rest. You are in good hands with me – and so are your friends and family!! My business is dependent on your referrals – and I am so grateful for each and every one. 🙂
