What do you know about me?
I thoroughly researched you on Facebook, LinkedIn and the internet before we met. Meeting you is the equivalent of going on a job interview for me. I would never show up to a job interview and not know everything I could about the company with which I’m interviewing. The same should be true of this interview. If I don’t research you before we meet the first time, how can you trust me to thoroughly research the property or sellers?
Are you a full time Realtor?
Yes, absolutely.
How long have you been in real estate?
I have been a fulltime real estate agent since 2003 and have held my license in 5 states; IL, MI, DC, MD and VA. I have been in the DC area since 2010.
How many clients have you worked with this year?
I average 20-40 clients per year and it fluctuates how many I am working with at one time, but I can assure you will never feel like I have more than one client; you
What tools do you have especially for first time home buyers?
I have an extremely informative website with over 40+ blog posts and resources that gives valuable information on the home buying process plus, I am always available to my clients. I am happy to answer any question you may have.
What areas do you primarily work?
I am licensed in DC, MD and VA. My primary focus is within the Beltway-All of Washington, DC plus, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Rockville, Arlington, Alexandria and McLean
Will you be showing me homes or will your assistant?
It will be myself
Are you willing to work with me if I find a home FSBO?
Yes
How do you negotiate deals?
I thoroughly research the comps on the property as well as the sellers. It’s important to know why the sellers are moving, what kinds of jobs they have, etc. as it helps determine a better negotiation plan.
Do you attend the home inspection?
Yes, Always
Do you attend the walk through?
Yes, Always
Do you attend the closing?
Yes, Always
How do you feel about dual agency?
I do not believe dual agency is fair to my clients, not does my company, so we do not participate. I think it is impossible to fairly represent both the seller and buyer in a single transaction and will instead refer one party to a different agent. Remember, I always do what is best for you, not what is best for our own pocketbook.
What qualities differentiate you from other Realtors?
I am available 24/7. I give my full attention to my clients and am available for anything you need from contract to close and beyond! I always have your best interests at heart. I am honest, even if that means telling you something you don’t want to hear. I am a master negotiator. I donate a portion of my brokerage fee from every sale to local animal rescue group, veteran organization or non-profit of your choice.
