Questions, Questions

 As a Realtor®, I need to know you.

If you live in the Richmond, Virginia area, you most likely have decided on which towns and neighborhoods you are most interested in, the type of home you want, and the price range that works best for you.

If you are relocating to the Richmond area, you may not know the individual neighborhoods but you have done some research via the Internet which has given you an idea of home values, Richmond schools, commute times and other data. (Relocation Information)

Before the days of the Internet, buyers were not quite as savvy as the buyers of today. In those days, Realtors® needed to ask questions just to know how many bedrooms and baths a buyer needed in the home they wanted to purchase.  Today, buyers are able to access the MLS and numerous websites to determine their wants and desires in a home. Many times buyers come prepared with a list of homes they want to preview and with a pre-qualification letter from their lender in hand.

While Realtors® appreciate this and the advantages of working with a buyer who is focused on their criteria, it does not allow us the opportunity of knowing you and the basis of your decisions. When I know how you have determined what your real estate needs are, I am better able to serve you.

I know the Richmond real estate market. I know homes that may be available for sale but for one reason or another you were not able to access that data. I know about homes that will become available in the near future and will be the perfect match for you.  So, pardon my asking questions but it is because I care about you and helping you to find your perfect home.

Speaking of questions; when you have questions about the Richmond, Virginia real estate market, buying or selling real estate, contact me. I will be happy to answer you questions along with asking a few of my own.
