Real Estate Agent with Compass Real Estate SP98362422

November 02, 2011 02:30 AM

I've been a Realtor for 7+ years (in the DC Metro area) and I love what I do. But when my husband and I decided to purchase property in Port Clyde Maine, we knew we shouldn't do it alone.

We hired our very own buyer agent - the wonderful Karen Rizkalla of St. George Realty (KarenRiz@MidCoast.com) She made the impossible happen for us!

Karen took us to several properties and really hung in there with us when we said we had to stick with our budget. We ended up making an offer that went back and forth a bit, and at last we hit the jackpot. Karen Rizkalla is a pro! The fact that I am in the business, makes me appreciate being the client all that much more. I know how hard she worked for it!

Here is a pic of the property- It is beyond our wildest dreams: real estate ellie shorb home for sale

Just like the old saying about a person acting as their own lawyer has a fool for a client. It's ok if we are a client and use someone in our profession to handle a transaction.

Ellie that is a very nice looking property. I am sure it felt nice for a chance to be the one who was getting great real estate service instead of being the one who was providing it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. And I am subscribing to your blog as well. Great post.
