Why My Being Busy Will Benefit You!

We were recently named by Keller William Realty as the #4 top producing agent team out of 3,000 Keller Williams Inland Empire agents in the Southern California region which reaches as far west as Pasadena. I don’t mention this to boast. My goal here is to let you know that our experience can and will benefit you.

It’s a fact that the average Realtor completes just seven real estate transactions per year. In my opinion it’s hard to stay on top of things professionally if you only work at it just a few times each year. The average Realtor wouldn’t see as many communities and properties and they certainly would not have much experience negotiating transactions on behalf of clients.

Indian Ridge Country Club, Palm Desert

Our team is on track to complete 50 Palm Springs area real estate transactions this year. We know that we continue to learn through experience and I believe that this will benefit you in being able to complete a smoother and more profitable real estate transaction every step of the way.

I welcome the opportunity to serve your real estate needs. If not me, you’ll want to choose an agent team that is busy, successful and experienced. Personally I choose my tax advisor, doctor and dentist the same way!

It’s Hard To Beat Local Knowledge

National real estate sites such as Truila®, Zillow® and others offer people a variety of online content. Few of the national real estate sites, however, actually receive live feeds from the MLS®. Their lack of a live feed results in much of their information being stale or incorrect.

Several national sites continue to show expired listings, incorrect pricing and sold homes as being available. I receive calls almost daily on these dated listings, and I know quickly where people have likely seen the information.

Real Estate Is Local

Most communities have a local real estate board or association that provides an MLS data feed to qualified member agents. Here in the desert we are members of The Desert Area MLS® which covers the entire Coachella Valley.

So here’s my tip: Go local for the most up-to-date listing information by utilizing local Realtor sites that include live MLS feeds. In my case, all of my MLS information is live, it’s complimentary, and no sign-up is required.

Now–about those online home valuation estimates. That’s another subject for next time.
