Email Question: Will You Show Me A Home in Boulder, CO?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Waves Realty BK3246853

This is actually a question I get quite often....not just Boulder...but any area outside Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Castle Pines, etc...

The question really was this:

Jeffrey....we have decided not to buy in the area you work but really like you. Can you show us homes in Boulder. We have decided on that area but do not like the two agents we have looked at homes with. We trust you...and our price ranch is about $100,000 higher...can you help?

Thanks, John

My Answer:

John and Mary,

Thanks for the vote of confidence but I do not work the Boulder area. I would be doing you a disservice if I showed you homes there. I have a better idea for you. Let me do some research and find you an agent who works the Boulder area the way I work my area. Give me 24 hours to do some research and I will get back to you tomorrow.

Jeffrey

FYI...I found an agent for John and Mary...they loved the agent. Stay in your area....you can not give the same service outside of it.

Happy New Year, Jeffrey - I never understood how agents who have their clients best interest in mind can sell in an area where their knowledge of the local market, its own customs and nuances make it unique.   You were wise to find a good agent to refer your clients.

Jeffrey,  This is so true.  This past summer we had a client who wanted to buy in Gunnison.  My office is at Belleview and I25 so you can imagine the craziness this created just trying to find properties in Gunnison.  I told her we don't work in Gunnison and she said "well you are the only one I trust. Can't you come doen there for the day?"

I found properties and my partner and I made the trip.  It was lots of fun and educational.  We even saw a bear on the way home.  trying to figure out comps was another story.

She ended up renting a house in Montrose after all that.  Never again!!!
