If You're Buying or Selling You Need A Realtor. A Good Realtor.

I've come across people who were either buying a home or selling a home who have said that they did not want to work with a Realtor. Fine. I can accept that in some cases. I've also come to learn that almost everyone says that they know someone who is a Realtor. Well fortunately, and unfortunately, realty is just like every other profession. You have the people who take it seriously and work hard at it and you have the people who treat it like a hobby. Let me tell you what makes a good Realtor and why you need one. A good Realtor is going to educate you about the whole process. From what the market is doing to what the steps will be to buy that dream home or sell your current one. A good Realtor will be prepared with third party material and statistics to back up what they're telling you. A good Realtor will lay out their marketing plan for selling your home. A good Realtor will connect you with a lender who will educate you on the mortgage process and provide you with a list of all the expenses you can anticipate including closing costs and other fees. A good Realtor will be in constant communication with you so you will always know where you are in the process.

As most of you know, several years ago I worked with a company that taught Brokers and Realtors how to make more money. The number one thing we would tell them was to communicate with their clients. People want to know what is going on. If they have hired you as their representative they have a right to know what you're doing for them. It only makes sense.

That's why there is no doubt in my mind that no one will work harder than me to sell your home or find the home you want to buy. I will lay out for you our approach to marketing your home and getting the best price possible. I will educate you on the process every step of the way so you will completely understand what is going on. I also can reccommend lenders who will educate you on the mortgage process. And, I promise that you will hear from me quite often until our mission has been accomplished.

Right now is still a great time to get that first home or move up in the market. We can still align you with mortgage professionals who can offer you mortgages with no money down. The $8000 tax credit for new home buyers is still there for a short time. We also have access to foreclosed homes that have not hit MLS listings yet. This means that we can get a jump on those homes before most Realtors even know they're out there.

If I can help in any way, or you are ready to see what you can do, please contact me at either: 616-719-8680 or at DavidJohnson@realtyexecutives.com.
