"There is still a lot of time left in the 'Spring Buying Period" ... Ocean City, NJ
It's all about the weather ... spring can be cold, or wet, warm, or dry. The issue of buying and even renting connects a lot with how nice the weather is. So we have about two full months to go until the summer rental season arrives.
And if all the signals are correct, and they usually are, we can expect a lot of buyers coming down to our barrier island to check out "what real estate is all about" down here.Many do it the old fashion way ... they drive down, they drift around, they visit some open houses, and they try to learn a bit about life on a barrier island.
Others who know people who have property down here try to get recommendations regarding who they might recommend to you to work with.
Now I'm going to suggest another route ... visit a couple of offices, walk in unannounced, and ask to talk with an agent about shore property. Have a few questions ... and try to get around to see three-to-five different agents. Take some good notes. And put those that you have met into some categories for the future.Not only do you learn a good bit about real estate agents, but you also gain insight into the local real estate, the agent's knowledge, and much more. Don't commit to anything right now. But do ask a lot of questions about everything.The more that a Buyer can learn, the better that they will be in the Buyer role in the months ahead.
Finally, why don't you put me down for one of your sessions. Don't plan to walk in on me ... I'm always at an "open house" over the weekend except for those times that I am out with Buyers. So how do you reach me ... phone my cell at 609-231-6379 or email me at the following:Dustin@BeachNotes.net and I will get back to you.
