The ONE Thing a Good Realtor Should Be Doing for You

A good Realtor will do more than help you buy or sell your home. A good Realtor helps you make GOOD DECISIONS about buying or selling your home.

What’s the difference?

Keeping the focus on your best interests and taking the right action at the right time which will ensure you are making a wise investment decision.

That’s the approach my daughter and I take when we work with clients. What does that look like?

Sometimes that means talking clients OUT of buying a house that we believe isn’t priced well or will not give them the appreciation they expect.

Sometimes that means advising them to RENT first instead of buying so they can decide they really do like a particular neighborhood.

Sometimes that means encouraging them to be patient and wait for the house they really want instead of jumping at something that is available but doesn’t exactly align with what they’d like.

Sometimes that means telling them what the true market value is of their home, not the price they have in their head that they’d like to get, so they can price it competitively and sell it faster.

Sometimes that means advising them to declutter, paint, repair, update if necessary before they put their house on the market to eliminate possible buyer objections.

Sometimes that means having the hard conversations, telling clients what they need to hear, not necessarily what they want to hear.

We like to feel good after a deal is closed and that means knowing that we have done the best for our clients, putting them in a good position to move forward in their lives. If you’re looking to buy or sell in Lake Oswego or the greater Portland area, give us a call. Let us help you make the best decision about when, where, what, and for how much to buy or sell.

We look forward to working with you!
