I just wanted to share our home buying experience with future clients of Stuart's. I've heard that the process can be stressful, but that was not the case for us. Stuart has really taken on the role of realtor, and it is hard to believe that he has only been in the business a few years. He is very knowledgeable, and honest, a quality that is much appreciated when you need a professional opinion. From the moment Stuart knew we were in the market for a home he was as eager as us to find exactly what we wanted. Not only did he help find the perfect place, but he was able to refer us to many other professionals associated to home buying, from paint to lawyers. I can't wait to move again knowing Stuart will be there to help us every step of the way!
You have a story to tell about me. You've worked with me, and I've helped you buy or sell a home. I need your feedback. Others need your feedback, too! Please take a moment to fill out this form and tell me how I did...
Working With An Agent >A Real Estate Agents Reality
The process of guiding a home sales transaction is in reality more complex than many people realize. When qualified buyers present an offer on your home, it might seem that the deal is done, but this is only the beginning of the negotiations process. Ideally, this aspect of the transaction culminates in a meeting of the minds. At no point can the real estate agent just sit back and relax, because the "glue" that holds each transaction together is subject to a variety of factors and forces that may cause the deal to fall apart.
We can only hope that there are no surprises during the home inspections. We have to presume that the appraiser will think the house is worth as much as the buyer and seller do, but this is never guaranteed. As the buyers make their loan application, we cross our fingers that the credit report reveals they always pay their bills on time.
Rarely is a transaction completed without a few problems. A real estate agent's professional skills come into play primarily during the time between contract ratification and the closing. At this point, we use our creativity, patience and negotiating skills to achieve a happy resolution to your transaction.
