FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
There is no out-of-pocket expense for the clients. The realty fee is split between Brokerages and is usually paid as part of the sellers' equity or rolled into the buyer's mortgage. Realtors are paid at the end of the transaction when the escrow is closed. The closing usually occurs at a Title company or Attorney's office with a public notary.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The process is super easy for customers to get started. It's as simple as 1,2,3: 1. Schedule a phone call: During this call I'll ask some questions to gain a better understanding of your needs/goals. 2. Schedule an initial in-person meeting: This meeting varies depending on if you're selling your own home or if you are trying to purchase a home. Once this meeting has concluded I'll prepare a short checklist of things to-do for you to be successful in your transaction. 3. Complete some paperwork: For you to be represented in a real estate transaction, we need to be clear about both parties' roles. The paperwork can be digitally signed via a computer or smartphone.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In 2003, I obtained my Agent license, and in 2012 my Brokers license. In 2018, I became a TREC CE Instructor and wrote and certified 3 specialized new construction real estate class curriculum with the State of Texas. I taught these classes to hundreds of agents all over the Houston area. Additionally, I've earned my GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute) certifications, e-pro, and GREEN Realtor certifications.
