HOW IMPORTANT IS YOUR AGENT’S EXPERIENCE?
Experience = Results
How do you measure “experience”?
Experience = Results
There are brokers who have one year’s experience twenty times over and then there are brokers who have twenty years (or more) of experience representing only buyers plus prior years in and around residential construction. I am in the latter category and continue to borrow from Ronald Reagan’s mantra, “Trust but verify”.
How does that relate to a real estate transaction?
Consider a recent transaction where the video of the sewer line in a “vintage” Highlands home revealed a break in that line. The seller agreed to correct the defect, hired a contractor and presented us with a video of the repair. End of story. Not quite.
I said “thank you” on behalf of my client and then, per the language in the “Inspection Notice”, had our inspector re-video the line. You guessed it! There was another break ten feet further down the line. Our language in the inspection agreement and our diligence in adhering to that language saved our client money for the obvious future repairs along with the stress of having a sewer backup in their home.
How can I have that level of expertise?

EBA’s do not list and sell homes and therefore do not have the conflicts of interest or conflicts of attention that are a part of life in a “traditional” real estate office. To torture a phrase from a famous purveyor of chicken, “they do buyers right”. Read the rest of this entry »
