In a real estate world where information is at your fingertips, I believe having a local real estate agent who knows the town(s) where you are looking to buy or sell is the critical piece of bringing modern technology and the warm personal touch together to maximize success. It is easy to go online to MLS or Zillow (as examples) and search for the "perfect" home and to find out "how much my home is worth," but without getting an expert local REALTOR®, you’ll be missing critical local knowledge that only someone who has lived in the area for six decades can provide.
Although I highly encourage all my clients to use all the technology they can, it is critical to gain "hyper-local" knowledge, which a successful REALTOR® will have. It is the nuances of location, location, location that make the difference in choosing the right home to purchase. It is the same when figuring out "how much my home is worth." Zillow and/or MLS may give you "ballpark" numbers, but they fall short in providing up-to-date, accurate pricing. As a buyer, you want to buy a home for the best price possible. As a seller, you want to sell at the highest price possible. Market conditions change quickly, and having an agent with "hyper-local" knowledge can help guide you in this process.
If someone asks me to sell their home 30 miles away, I will decline 99% of the time because I don't know the nuances of that area. I always let my clients know they would be better off working with another "hyper-local" agent who knows the area inside and out.
"This business is fun and exciting every day because I love the people I work with! My clients know I will do whatever it takes to help them! My clients know that selling and buying a home requires a team effort. I need their help just as much as they need my help. It is this crystal clear, open, and honest communication that works."
