I was called a “real estater” the other day.

Not Realtor, not real estate agent, a real estater.

And it reminded me that there are still so many people who don’t fully understand what I do. I mean lots of people think all I do is open doors and go out to lunch with my clients!

Whether I am working with a buyer or seller my hope is that I am brining years of experience and connections to the table.

• Recommending pre-listing repairs for the biggest bang for your buck.

• Connecting you with experts in their fields for pre-purchase inspections.

• Coordinating with the title company to resolve unreleased liens.

• Brainstorming with the lender when we have an issue on the appraisal.

• Inside knowledge on things like well depth/quality or feisty HOA’s.

• Negotiating on your behalf when inspections items come up.

• Accurate pricing for the maximum return on investment in the shortest amount of time.

• Getting you the winning offer when you are competing against many other buyers.

• And sometimes being a shoulder to cry on, real estate can put you through the ringer.

With gratitude.
