What can your licensed real estate professional, your REALTOR® do for you?
I will use myself as an example sharing what I offer my clients:
1. Local Market Insights
To help you as a professional REALTOR® I use my access to data pertaining to my local area of specialty Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows and my experience navigating many types of markets since I originally started in real estate in 1991. I am trained and experienced in managing offers, writing legally binding contracts, handling negotiations, finances and more.
For you as a seller, as a resident of my area of speciality (Maple Ridge / Pitt Meadows) I stay on top of the market and not only can get information on comparable homes and see what they sold for and when, but as a local agent many times I will have been in the homes that sold that are comparable to yours, this is valuable since I can tell you more about the property. If somehow I missed visiting the property I am regularly in contact with other agents who give me the inside scoop. In essense, you work with me but you also get my professional network I can draw upon to supercharge my expertise. In addition, as a local agent, I have an understanding as to what buyers are looking for in my area of specialty Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.
Note: Even if you are months away from moving I work with my new clients so they can see trends in pricing and anticipate the right time to enter the market.
Do not hesitiate to reach out to me.
For you as a buyer, I can advise you as to what is available in the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows area. Not only do I have knowledge of the homes I help my clients buy and sell, each week I visit dozens of homes in my area to see the quality and features of these homes and the value they offer. I am aware of transportation, services, amenities, and even municipal regulations you may have never heard about or find hard to understand.
2. Valuable Negotiation Skills
One of my biggest values for you as a buyer or seller is my ability to negotiate.
With many years of experience in sales I have an intuitive sense of what can work to help you as a seller get the maximum price for your home and for you as a buyer to get the best price for your next home. Let us chat and I can give you examples of how I have helped clients. The value of my skill to negotiate far exceeds the fee for my services.
3. Financial Guidance
Are you unsure how to get pre-approved for a mortgage? I know what you need to avoid and what you need to do in the months leading up to getting a pre-approval. I am also in contact with multiple lenders and mortgage brokers so you can shop around effectively to get the best rate possible.
I have a special section in the buyer’s guide I created you can use to help you in this process. Ask me about my buyers guide.
4. Professionalism and Sense of Security
When you work with me I can share with you details of my training and expertise so you know my level of professionalism and you can feel more secure in me working to help you in what continues to be most people’s biggest financial transaction. There are lots of details you need to be aware of and I have personally created a format to help educate you on the process and understand the costs involved in the sale or purchase of property. Why not contact me today? I am here beside you to guide you and I put your interest above my own.
5. Time Saver
When I work as a buyer’s agent I know you are busy and you don’t want to waste time looking at any property that may not be suitable for you. So when you are at work or otherwise busy, I can check out potential properties for you and report back. I become an extension of your eyes so you only visit the ones that match your needs.
6. Stress reducer
When I work as a seller’s agent I know what actions you need to take to get your home ready for the market so you maximize your sale price and do not waste your time doing work that will not give the return you expect. You benefit from my knowledge of what is important having worked with many property buyers.
If you would like to learn more about how I serve my clients in buying and selling real estate in the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows area please contact me here to book a time for an introductory free consultation.
Once we meet you get your own personal copy of the special buyers or seller guide books I created that help you become more informed about todays more complex real estate buying or selling journey. Knowledge is power.
