How often have you said, “Let’s make a list of what you’re looking for in a home?” Good agents will get people to prioritize what they’re looking for in terms of musts, shoulds, and wants. And then they help their clients pursue that goal doggedly!
But I think great agents know that experience is the best teacher. A list is abstract. It's something the buyer dreamed up, sometimes without a lot thought or consideration. And to get to the *real* list of what someone needs in a home and how much they are willing to pay, clients learn as much from seeing the homes they don’t want as they do from the homes they might want.
A few extra showings of homes above or below their target price range, or with different amenities builds confidence and can help a buyer get ready to act when they find "the one."
So this week’s Redfin partner agent review of the week goes to David Griffith from ERA Sunrise Realty in West Cobb County, GA. He invested a little extra time in the process and got big returns. Here’s what the happy home-buyer had to say:
"David was friendly but not pushy. He did not hesitate to show us a variety of houses, even some that were quite far out of our target range and style. He didn't mind showing us houses that we found on our own and also came up with further suggestions on his own. What a help!" Check out the full review on Redfin.
Redfin’s partners hang their licenses with other brokerages but share our values and commitment to customer service. They serve our clients in neighborhoods where we don’t have our own agents, or when we’re just too busy to hold up our end of the bargain with new clients coming through the door.
