Castellum is the latin word for "Castle", and that's exactly how we want our clients to regard their home. So, it's only natural that Castellum Realty strives to treat our customers like royalty. We often go above and beyond to help our clients. For example, a recent client called us to help her pack up and ship her belongings to various locations across the country, including a remote part of Alaska. Other clients have relied on us to arange and even supervise landscaping and other improvements when selling their home.
Castellum Realty LLC. is serious about ensuring our customers feel happy and cared for. "We're not about the one time deal" We keep in touch with our clients beyond the sale and give you honest advice from the beginning-a fact we state in writing and incorporate in our step by step guide for sellers, which includes pull-no-punches tips on setting an asking price, making the home more attractive to buyers and even what Castellum's business expenses will be. With this level of attention and respect, half of our clients are referrals.

WHY USE A PROFESSIONAL REALTOR
For financial investments like a 401-K, Roth, IRA, etc., most people use reputable financial advisors since they are aware of the risks of doing it themselves or having it done by a family member or friend who claims to have the knowledge and skills. For that same reason, you should use a professional realtor with extenSive training and experience to handle the largest financial transactions that most people will ever make -- the sale of your real estate property. All Castellum Realty, LLC realtors work full time and have recently completed all the education requirements to be a real estate broker. All agents are also Seniors Real Estate Specialists (SRES), a designation that prepares realtors to handle the unique needs of Senior Citizens. This is not common in the world of realtors and thus simply shows our commitment to excellence. Castellum Realty LLC Realtors are also E-Pro Certified which makes them knowledgeable with Real Estate 2.0 practices online which will give our clients much greater exposure on the internet. Our Marketing plan, changes month to month to ensure our customers can take advantage of all the latest technology. With the availability of the internet and digital technologies, the work of the realtor has changed a lot. Most buyers and sellers today know where to find real estate information and choose their realtor accordingly. It is up to our agents to provide excellence in this area which ultimately will make our clients buying and selling decisions easier.
THE TASK OF THE REALTOR
The task of the realtor as we see it is to act as the advisor who helps with the preparation of a home for the sale (repairs, clean up, staging, etc., and who advises on the listing price strategy which is then integrated into the marketing plan to sell your home. All th ree activities are equally important to the success of the transaction. The realtor gives regular feedback on showing results and then recommends a course of action. When purchasing a property, the advise a realtor gives will essentially help a buyer purchase a property that covers his/her immediate needs and offers the long term potential to cover most of the wants of the buyer within his financial reach. We understand that choosing a home involves a lot more than the actual house layout and appearance. These secondary factors will have a large impact on the long-term success of the purchase. For this reason, an in-depth fact finding process should precede any attempts to select houses. This process includes advice on which mortgage companies to choose for the most likely financing scneario. Clients should be pre-qualified before the buying process begins.
HOW WE WORK WITH OUR CLIENTS
We will work in an environment of total honesty in order to avoid false expectations for either buyer or seller. This encompasses the use of a comparable Market Analysis for each transaction in order to use actual up-to-date market numbers and not necessarily the numbers a buyer or seller wants to see. Through the use of the Comparative Marketing Analysis (CMA), we can advise sellers the best possible list price to sell a house quickly in order to avoid a long, drawn-out process of unsuccessful showings, price reductions and frustrations. Buyers will be advised what the offering price should be irrelevant of the asking price which is often not based on the actual market, but on sellers' dreams. We will not use in-house services for mortgages or settlements to avoid any conflicts of interest. This gives us the ability to recommend companies that offer the best possible rates in our area. Castellum Realty, LLC realtors work closely together to give our customers the benefit of our combined professional business knowledge and experience.
THE PURCHASING PROCESS
When a buyer has been identified by a cooperating realtor, or us, we will take the following steps:
- We will ensure a buyer is qualified to get financing or has the funds to purchase the house.
- We will together with the seller, ensure the offer is sincere and that all critical elements in the "Agreement of Sale" are reasonable and acceptable. We will point out any issues, like contingencies, that might impact the positive outcome.
- We will represent our clients in all negotiations or matters related to the sale.
- We will help our clients get the optimum transaction.
- We will help our clients coordinate all inspections and administrative activities to stay within the agreed time fram outlined in the agreement of sale.
- We will, whether we represent the buyer or seller, work cooperatively with the other agents during the inspection process to help find contractors to ensure repairs and fixed quickly and economically.
- We will be with our clients at the settlement table and will make sure everything is executed as agreed upon.
- We will be available for our clients during the selling or buying process.
- We will keep in regular contact with our clients during the entire purchasing process and beyond.
- We will be there to offer help when an issue would surface that needs immediately attention to ensure the problem gets resolved quickly and correctly. You can count on us for this help. Do not hesitate to ask us!
