Great Expectations

Purchasing Real Estate is quite an investment and finding the right Real Estate agent who is going to work hard for you is imperative to making sure all goes smoothly. As a Realtor for home buyers and sellers in the Huntington and Charleston Real Estate Markets, I take pride in the long hours and time I set forth to adhere to my responsibilities in ensuring this smooth transition. What is expected of me is to be honest, prompt with any and all information that my buyer or seller should know, research homes and the list of my fiduciary responsibilities as your agent goes on and on( see http://www.naeba.org/naeba/codeofethics.htm ). These expectations are a giving. The agreement between a Realtor and buyer should also be reciprocal. I think it would be fair to say that should I be working really hard, spending lots of time looking for that right house for my buyer, sending emails, spending lots of hours in my car and money for gas, hours on the phone etc, that a buyer should also adhere to a certain guideline to their Realtor. For the list of reasons posted above, a buyer should remain loyal to their Realtor, regardless if a home is listed with another company, a builder or a home sold by an owner( for we can help and it's best to have protection). It should also be expected that the buyer be forthcoming in regards to being financed and as to how much they can really go shopping with. I really am not too concerned about losing clients based on my work ethic for as many of my previous clients will tell, I work hard and make your experience fun and entertaining(see http://www.netbret.com/think.html ). However, I do know that some buyers may be unaware of just how much time and money a Realtor spends with one buyer and may assume that any Realtor will do. My job is to educate, so this is why I am writing this blog. Working hard for you is to be expected from me and puts food on my table and gas in my tank. So, be serious about your expectations and be loyal. Check this link for more info: http://www.expertvillage.com/video/18293_home-buying-buyer-loyalty.html
