Are you a first time home buyer or seller? Maybe you've bought and sold a dozen homes, investment properties or had the difficult task of selling an estate of your parents. I've been involved in all of those transactions over the years. Nothing is easy. Emotion as well as your financial future are involved. It is imperative to find the bridge to a desirable outcome. That bridge is your realtor.
Since I've been involved in numerous real estate sales and purchases I've interacted with numerous real estate agents. Among the best I've worked with is Jill LaKomy. I was not emotionally ready to sell when we met 3 years ago. She knew that yet calmly, methodically created a portfolio of market values targeting my neighborhood along with past sales and projections. While she would check in every few months to see where I was in the process often updating her real estate market projections for my expanding binder she provided, Jill never once pushed or pressured me to make a hasty decision. I would call with questions and she would always answer, always be available.
When I decided to sell my home she handled every detail from well-designed flyers to the open house. It's unnerving to have strangers in your home but Jill made it as painless as possible. After the first open house we had an offer more than $40,000 above asking. There are always a few bumps along the way but Jill covered all the contingencies without pressure or coercion.
In the end you may realize you've made a poor decision in selling or moving away but that is your responsibility.
Think carefully. Never let anyone pressure you on either end but when you want a painless transaction with a realtor who is always available to take your call, answer your questions, resolve any issues or concerns, list your home reasonably and responsibly and is a consummate professional in her field, do call Jill. Compare others if you like but in the end you want to feel at peace. To the best of her ability Jill will give you just that.
