ABOUT ME :
A few years ago, after almost 20 years working in the corporate Procurement field, I looked at my upcoming birthday and assessed my life. I wasn't doing what I loved and decided it was time to pursue my passion. Having a career in real estate is what I've always wanted to do. Who do you know that played Realtor with their Barbie dolls? What child got excited about reading the Sunday paper not for the comics but to check out the new homes section to see the floor plans and read about all of the new neighborhoods? I did. When any of my family or friends had a question about finding their next apartment or house, I was the one they always called and wanted to come with them, because they knew I'd have the right questions to ask and could point out the pros and cons to them. A look at my DVR would look like a HGTV lineup of all their real estate centric shows. I live, love and breathe Real Estate in everything I do.
Why would I make a good representative to either a buyer or seller? Skills my previous corporate experience has given me are very applicable to my new career. In the past I've worked out international contracts and been trusted to negotiate multimillion dollar purchases. Representing the interests of my employer to secure them the best deals, on their terms is what I've done since college. And, it's what I still do - except now I get the added bonus of helping people find the home of their dreams while doing my dream job.
Hi Michael. That\'s a good question. As has already been addressed you need to find someone who knows the Loop and those areas. It really is a different market than say The Woodlands or the Energy Corridor. Now, I want to add not every agent is going to be comfortable working with you as the \"go between\" but the right agent will. It can make the transaction a little more frustrating for your father, as well as the agent, because communication is a large part of narrowing in to exactly what the buyer is needing/wanting so the agent can find \"the one\". So, going into the process it will be good to keep in mind that patience will be key. I\'ve worked with clients located out of town on job assignments or relocating who could not view the properties before they were under contract. Having a family member here such as yourself who knows what to look for and to be their eyes will help tremendously. Speaking from experience, you should also try to find an agent who can be available at a time your father can be on the phone with you as you tour properties. Sending photos and doing a live walk through tour, such as via Facetime, to capture questions about layout and finishes or the neighborhood will help your father feel more comfortable making the decision remotely.
Generally I just answer Hello. Now if it''s someone in my phone so I see who is calling I can tailor it to them. Which is why I input any agent, client, lead, title company person etc that I am working with.
The best option is always to get the information from the listing agent. Check to see if any documents have been loaded on the property with the seller''s signature and name such as the Seller''s Disclosure. And, as has been stated check Realist. I also check the HCAD''s website to cross check that.
