I received a call from an out of the area gentleman today asking about homes for sale in the Viera area of central Brevard County, Florida.
In order to answer his question I proceeded to ask the "usual" questions. Such as:
- How many bedrooms and baths (i.e., size),
- Are you familiar with the area (a consideration),
- What is your timeframe for moving (buying next year or when?),
- And...how much was in the budget (price is always a consideration!.
It was at this point the caller informed me I sounded like a used car salesman. Although I was not offended I realized this caller had no idea what the job of a Realtor encompassed!
So, what is my job?
In a nutshell, it is to assist you in locating a property that meets your needs (including price), in the area you want to be located, and assist with negotiations to get the best price and terms that will suit your needs! Then, guide and advise you through the process to a successful closing! Nowhere in my description of duties does the intent to up-sell you to a maximum price enter the picture!
Real estate agents work on commission. My goal is a happy, satisfied client who will refer future business for me - not up-selling to gain a few dollars commission!
If you are interested in buying a home in the Viera, Rockledge or Suntree area, please give me a call. I would welcome a chance to be your Realtor of Choice!
