10 Reasons to Select Andrew as Your Buyer’s Agent
1. EXCELLENT RESULTS: Eighty-five percent of his clients are referrals from satisfied clients because they feel very good about their experience & results working with him. Over the past nine years, he has represented clients buying & selling $71 million of real estate.
2. INTEGRITY & TRUST LOYALTY: He is an effective agent/broker for finding the best possible home at the best possible price & he is faithfully representing your interests! His buyers know that he is 100% on their side and representing their interests, without compromise.
3. RELIABILITY & CONSISTENCY: He will be there at your service as a reliable & consistent resource person. Using online tools such as iPhone, working from his home-office for after business hours support, use of efax/scanner & digital E-Forms for electronic/internet “paperwork” & using a laptop for support if traveling, he will be available to you when & where you need him.
4. CREDIBILITY: Andrew is a “straight shooter” and provides clear and thought-out analysis that is fact-based. He does not “shoot from the hip” in response to questions. Rather, he takes any of your issues seriously and addresses them in a serious & thorough manner.
5. KNOWLEDGEABLE: His expertise goes well beyond the standard realtor skill-set of knowing the market and pricing. He has clear vision helping clients navigate home inspection in part due to his breath of experience with home contracting technical details (engineering degree & having renovated nearly a dozen homes himself). His financial background (MBA in finance) gives him insight into condo financials & condo association issues so you are knowledgeable about this critical aspect of your condo evaluation & negotiations. He has excellent resource people in his “Rolodex” including home inspectors, attorneys & lenders.
6. COACHING STYLE: Andrew helps his buyers become ‘knowledgeable consumers’ as he helps them focus on what they really want and the various trade offs associated with different home attributes. He provides the guidance so his buyers understand the market, are able to continually re-evaluate their goals and reconcile differences between the buyer’s preferences (e.g. couple, etc.), and helps them keep on-track toward reaching their goals.
7. NEGOTIATOR: You are in very good hands with the negotiation expertise that Andrew offers. He is careful to build a review all the pertinent information and build a strong case for his client—doing this with the client’s full knowledge of his recommended strategy & tactics. His analytic expertise & financial skills as well as excellent market knowledge provides the solid framework to move the deal’s outcome to his client’s best interest while ensuring a solid outcome.
8. EASE OF MIND: Home buying seems to be a chaotic experience at the onset. Andrew organizes the steps into a process and guides his client through the steps so they feel in control of the choices and outcome. The typical remarks at the closing is that they feel good about what they have selected (e.g. have explored the full-range of alternatives jointly with Andrew) and understand the details and issues associated with the condo association and the home. Furthermore, they have negotiated with the seller to the maximum that likely is possible without loosing the deal.
9. TRANSPARENCY: Andrew’s buyers feel they are knowledgeable about what is going on and nothing is happening “behind the scenes” or none of the procedures or documents are unexplained. This transparency leads to a full sense of credibility & trust.
10. KNOWS HIS CLIENT’S PREFERENCES: His high level of service & results orientation is derived from his sticking with his buyers and learning to be on their wavelength—to fully understand what they are looking for and the relative importance to their list of ‘wants.’ This is critical to assist them in making decisions & moving forward during negotiations. He makes an effort to go on showings with his clients (as compared to having assistants go on showings) & solicits feedback from even those properties not of interest to help him get know his clients’ evolving preferences.
