FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Typically the seller pays a 6% Realtor commission and it's split between both agents according to the terms in the listing agreement. A buyer will not pay commission for their Realtor in most situations. My Broker does not charge an admin fee like most Brokerages today.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
With new clients, I like to speak with them over the phone or meet in-person to introduce myself. During a listing appointment, I first listen to the clients' goals and needs in selling their home. I then tour the property, review comparable homes in the area that have sold, introduce my marketing plan, sign a listing agreement, and schedule a photographer and videographer prior to listing. When a buyer appointment, I help my clients figure out what their wants and needs are with the new home. We meet several times to review new properties until they make a decision and want to move forward. I attend ALL inspections, walk-through, and closings.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Real estate and helping people is my passion. I previously worked for the Drug Enforcement Administration for 9 years. I left DEA so that I could help my clients full time.
