TRANSPARENCY IN REAL ESTATE or “Why read my blog?”
March 4th, 2008 Categories: Blogs, Blogging and the Blogosphere, First Time Buyers, Oakville Real Estate News
I went to a listing appointment a few months ago for a couple I had met at the Oakville Centre kiosk. A comment they made got me thinking.
“You seem very nice etc., but the last time we bought and sold, we interviewed 3 agents and picked who we thought would be the best one, but she turned out to be terrible! It was such a bad experience. Now we’re gun-shy.”
Selling or buying a home is a big deal. No doubt about that.
Picking a REALTOR that doesn’t match our expectations or our values or our personality type can be uncomfortable and stressful.
One of the challenges of our generation is we have TOO MANY CHOICES, TOO LITTLE TIME.
One of the reasons I have chosen to write a blog with almost daily postings, is so that people who are buying or selling can use this as a PRE-SELECTION TOOL.
When one writes a lot of stuff over time, one’s true self does get revealed.
What does this REALTOR know? How well does she understand the real estate market? How does she handle situations? What are her values, preferences, interests, viewpoints on real estate and other matters? What are her clients saying about her? What are other agents who comment saying about her? How abreast is she of the latest developments in real estate?
All good questions to which you are likely to find answers right here on this blog.
Then, by the time you pick up the phone to call me, we are both reasonably assured that we are a “good fit”. And that is the best thing for you and for me!
Sometimes when I meet people who have been reading it, they say “ I feel like I already know you.” That’s my goal folks!
