INTEGRITY
Your broker should be working for you. This means that sometimes they should advise you to walk away from a purchase. When working with clients we always put together an analysis of the property we are writing an offer for.
During this process we know very closely how much the home is worth and our walk away number. We also analyze the market to see how much inventory is available and the competitive landscape. This additional data helps us put together a game plan on our offer that puts us in the best position to purchase the property below market value.
UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE TRANSACTION
Some brokers only understand the purchase or sale portion of the transaction. Prior to becoming a real estate broker I spent time in the banking industry and the insurance industry so I understand the lending process and how to navigate the insurance markets. This has given me a more holistic understanding of the real estate process and has allowed me to advise my clients throughout the entire home buying / selling process.
TOP NEGOTIATOR
The minute you hear the words "split the difference" you are leaving money on the table. We pride ourselves on negotiating like it's our money so if we can get any additional dollars during the negotiation WE WILL!
When someone asks to split the difference there is most likely additional dollars to win in the negotiation. Don't get caught in this trap and hire a broker that will negotiate like it is their money.
