FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Their are no set pricing standards in real estate. Commissions are negotiable between broker and client and I stress my tangible sales results when discussing listing commissions with clients. A typical client will pay between 2.5% - 3.0% when selling a home and for that commission and my real estate team does everything from disclosure paperwork preparation, staging assistance, print and online marketing, broker tours, open houses, negotiation of the transaction all the way to closing of the transaction The best compliment I can get is a referral from a customer. It is all about providing white glove concierge service to them.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I engage a new customer I want them to feel very comfortable working together. Weather buying or selling a property we will be working very closely for several months and it is important to have a level of trust and realistic expectations throughout the process. I typically will meet with a customer over coffee if possible or at a property so we can get acquainted, discuss their needs, expectations and concerns. I want them to ask as many questions about me, my qualifications and experience. Gaining their trust is the most important thing and understanding their needs is critical to a good result.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been working in the real estate field since 2003 when I left the corporate world and worked in mortgage finance for 5 years. I started selling real estate in 2008 when I met an agent when purchasing my own home. I am currently studying for my broker's license and have added property management and leasing to my real estate career for the past four years.
