Whether you are buying a new house, a second home or want to sell the one you are in, there are a few things you want, a few things that are non-negotiable. Here’s my guess at what’s important to you…please let me know what I might have missed!
- You want someone who is honest and trustworthy.
- You want someone who does what they say they are going to do, when they say they are going to do it.
- You want someone who can communicate with you in any way you like, at the frequency that works for you.
- You want to feel like you are taken care of and not ignored.
- You want someone who will go the extra mile for you.
- You want someone who knows the area like the back of her hand.
- You want someone who will calmly negotiate on your behalf.
- You want someone who listens.
- You actually want to have a little bit of fun.
If you want to sell your house:
- You want someone who will focus on your house rather than try to juggle 10 at once.
- You want someone who is skilled in photography and can be, well, a little uptight about it.
- You want someone who will be up front with you about what it’s going to take to sell your house, not just list it so they can have a sign in the yard.
- You want someone who isn’t afraid of technology and who has a background in marketing and sales.
If you want to buy a house or condo in Charleston:
- You want someone who will dig deep and lift up all the rocks.
- You want someone skilled in research and negotiation.
- You want someone who cares enough to find you a place you love, not pressure you when it’s not quite right.
You can count on all of that from me. And here are a few more commitments too…
- There is no time frame on our relationship unless you set it. You may not be ready today, tomorrow or even six months from now….That’s ok – I’m in it for the long haul.
- I will only work with five listings at any given time because I know what it takes to provide the personal attention and detail required to sell a home.
- I will only work in the neighborhoods I know well because I think you’d rather my knowledge be deep than broad. If you are interested in an area outside of the Charleston Peninsula, I’ll find a local area expert to join us for the adventure. If the home you want to sell is not on the Charleston Peninsula, I’ll refer you to someone who adheres to the same commitments as I do.
