Relocating to Gig Harbor, WA

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Fathom Realty Colorado

Are you considering relocating to Gig Harbor, Port Orchard, or the surrounding area?  Moves don't have to be intimidating, in fact, I think I can make moving to Gig Harbor quite easy.  First, you need to gather information.  Far too many people seem to bury their heads in the sand and try to avoid gathering facts.

It'll be okay...just learn

Many of the online forums that I participate in seem to be flooded with people who have grown tired of the home search process, and it often seems as though real estate agents are to blame.  Three times in the past two weeks real estate agents have been referred to as "used car salesmen" on these forums I read.  From the context, I know that's supposed to be an insult, but I really like most of the car salesmen I've dealt with, and if I don't like them I tend to "fire" them and "hire" another.  Same deal in terms of finding a Realtor in Gig Harbor.  Don't hide from us, get to know your area real estate agents and interview them.  When you find one you like, hire them.  Don't ever feel as though you have to settle on an agent because they're the first you found, or your cousin went to high school with them, or they send you the most postcards.  A good Realtor can be your best friend when it comes to relocating.

You should feel comfortable with your agent

If you're moving to Gig Harbor, I'd recommend two things.  Gather as much information about the area as you can, and find a Realtor whom you trust and like.  This blog is designed to bring attention to Gig Harbor, to be Gig Harbor's "Good News Source."  I want small businesses in the Harbor to gain attention here, I want visitors to learn about the area here, I want Gig Harbor's scenic beauty to be displayed here.  I also want to earn people's business.  I hope that this blog provides the information about Gig Harbor that you are looking for, and if not I'd hope that you contact me and ask.  I also hope that my personality shines through in this blog and that through reading it daily you can come to know and trust me a little bit.  I can't imagine moving to a new place, not knowing the area, and working with a real estate agent whom I didn't fully feel comfortable with.  I truly believe that if you hire me to introduce you to our community and to show you the home inventory we have available and to represent you in the purchase of your Gig Harbor Home, you'll be able to hold your head up high and know you made a good choice.

Head up--You've chosen well

Many Realtors and real estate offices will offer you a "relocation package" with all of the information you could want on the area.  I view that kind of like a fast food burger...it is indeed a burger, but it's pre-made and not likely to satisfy you.  My Gig Harbor relocation package is sure to fit your needs exactly.  How do I know this?  Because I haven't made it yet, and won't make it until you order it (did I steal that line?).  Folks looking to move to Gig Harbor can contact me, and we'll chat briefly about what's important to YOU, and then I'll provide you with relocation information that matters to you.  Why do you need stats on the schools if you have no kids?  Do our golf courses matter to you if you hate golf?  I don't suppose you care about boat rentals if you're afraid of the water.  I want to know what you want to know about the area, then I'll compile the relevant information and get it out to you.  Gig Harbor is full of good real estate agents and good real estate companies.  My clients seem to agree that they've found the best.  Some have even made some pretty lofty claims, like I can walk on water.

Should we name him Peter?

Okay, that last one isn't true.  I have a different approach to real estate, and I hope that this blog is just a small sampling of that difference.  If you're relocating to Gig Harbor, or if you are selling your house in Gig Harbor, I'd love the opportunity to interview with you and earn your trust.
