Buying a home is just the beginning of homeownership and it's important to have good resources for all the different things that it involves. That is why you're going to want to keep the communication channels open between you and your agent.
Follow your real estate professional on social media.
Give your agent a review on Google or Facebook to share the great service you received.
Mark email on your "safe sender's list" so you won't miss newsletters, market stats, and other important information about maintaining a home and general market conditions.
When you need an answer about anything having to do with real estate or homeownership, who do you call? Consider your agent your Real Estate Directory Assistance Service. If your agent doesn't have the answer, they can point you in the right direction.
Feel confident to recommend your friends and relatives to your agent. They'll appreciate working with a professional you trust, and your agent will be grateful for the referral.
Close to nine out of ten buyers and sellers are satisfied with the service from their agent and say they'll use them again and refer people to them. When the time comes to move again, make the first call to your trusted agent.
Helping homeowners when they buy, sell, and all the years in between.
Just a few of the things your agent can do for you when you're not buying or selling a home are:
- Area sales activity on current homes for sale and sold homes
- Current market value of real estate you own
- Service Provider Recommendations
- Help in challenging tax assessment
- Advice on home improvements
- Conversations you should have with your insurance agent
- Refinance Analysis ... Does it make sense to refinance?
- Assistance in evaluating a home warranty
- Information on investing in rental properties
- Improvement registers to keep tract of capital improvements
