Describe yourself in three words: Committed, dedicated, precise.
What is the nature of your job? Purchasing or selling a property is probably one of the biggest transactions a person will undertake in his/her lifetime.
A realtor is there to help make the whole process less stressful. At Property to Link we will hold your hand and guide you through the entire process.
Real estate agents however do way more than simply list properties and find people their dream homes.
Amongst other things, I assist clients with rentals, meet and discuss the needs of both buyers and sellers, schedule viewings, take photos of the different properties, do listings, prepare contracts, liaise between all the involved parties, stage homes for viewings, canvas new properties and is constantly keeping an eye on market trends.
What do you do different from other agents? I am totally committed to get the best possible price for my client's property.
To me being honest and transparent (with both buyers and sellers) is paramount. It is about having integrity.
Doing the right thing for your client, no matter what you may stand to lose or gain from giving objective advice and counselling.
