Oly Pen - Professional Services with a Personal Touch

Google is never very far away. It is quick. It is easy. And it seems to have the answers to whatever questions we might have. Because it has become so accessible there are many of us who have come to rely on it in lieu of relying experts who used to give us these answers. This trend is just as true in the real estate industry as it is in many others.

While we may be tempted to rely upon today's technology in helping us navigate the countless decisions which are involved in finding a house to buy or marketing a house for sale there are definite drawbacks. “While we encourage our perspective clients to do their homework,” says Luke Burgher, Associate Broker at Oly Pen Real Estate in Monetsano, WA, “we must also understand that too much information, without the help have a real estate professional to help unpack or harness it,  can lead to confusion and frustration.”

Even in the best of times making decisions regarding your real estate strategies can be difficult. In today’s complex market, the manner with which we execute I real estate transactions is undergoing constant change. Having confidence that you are receiving the best guidance and highest consideration really helps to contribute to a less stressful more pleasurable buying or selling experience.

So, how do you choose the perfect agent?

It starts with trust. You must trust the advice this person is going to give you, and you will want to begin by making sure you are connected to a true professional. An agent cannot give you perfect advice because it is impossible to know exactly what is going to happen at every turn – especially in this unique market. A true professional agent can, however, give you the best advice possible based on the information and situation at hand, helping you make the necessary adjustments and best decisions along the way. The right agent – the professional – will get you the best offer available. That is exactly what you want and deserve.

What do you need to trust your agent to do?

• Navigate the Process - There are over 230 possible steps that take place during a successful real estate transaction. Don’t you want someone who has been there before, someone who knows what these actions are, to ensure you have a positive selling experience?
•  Negotiate on Your Behalf - Today, hiring a trusted and talented negotiator could save you thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of dollars. Each step – from the buyer submitting an original offer, to the possible renegotiation of that offer after a home inspection, to the potential cancelation of the deal based on a troubled appraisal – you need someone who can keep the deal together until it closes.
• Price Your House Competitively - There is so much information in the news and on the Internet about home sales, prices, and mortgage rates. How do you know what is going on in our local area? Who do you turn to price your home competitively and correctly at the beginning of the selling process?

Dave Ramsey, known as the financial guru, advises:

“When getting help with money, whether it’s insurance, real estate or investments, you should always look for someone with the heart of a teacher, not the heart of a salesman.”

Hiring a trusted professional who has a finger on the pulse of the market and is eager to help you learn will make your experience an informed and educated one. You need someone who is going to tell you the truth, not just what they think you want to hear.

Today’s real estate market is highly competitive. Having a trusted professional who has been there before to guide you through the process is a simple step that will give you a huge advantage when you are ready to sell your house.
