When it comes to buying and selling a home, many people ask themselves whether it’s worth working with a realtor. Selling your home is one of the most important financial decisions you will make in your life, and you cannot afford to get it wrong!
Aligning yourself with the right realtor will greatly improve your chances of selling at a higher price, buying a home at a competitive level, and provide you with the right advice.
Whenever you buy or sell a home you will always encounter negotiations. As the market begins to heat up, these negotiations quite often heat up as well. You can expect lots of competition, cutthroat tactics and all cash offers. Having an expert, professional negotiator on your side ensures you receive the best possible outcome.
As your realtor, it is my core business to know everything and everyone in the San Diego market. Not only will you have access to homes that are publicly listed, but a realtor can introduce you to homes that are available but not advertised, meaning you might just be able to find that hidden gem after all.
Mary knows some of the best vendors in San Diego County. We know everyone from mortgage brokers to attorneys, home stagers to interior designers and everyone in between. We will be able to place our entire network at your disposal. This is invaluable when it comes time to buy or sell.
And finally, as your realtor, I am way more than just your negotiator. My purpose is to build a relationship with you, so you can feel confident and empowered throughout the process. I will give you my honest opinion and advice throughout the process.
At the Compass, we have an elevated process than most agencies:
When buying, I will drive around looking at listings for you to weed out any properties that don’t fit your criteria.
When selling, we spend time preparing and marketing your home, making sure it’s just right before a buyer sees it, and will work tirelessly for you day and night. We complete a pre-inspection before even getting your home on the market. Our pre-inspection ensures that your home is 70% less likely to fall out of escrow.
Whether you need advice on an offer you just submitted or need someone to put your mind at ease when you’re feeling emotional, I will be with you every step of the way.
Selling and buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever make and guiding you through it is not something that I take lightly.
