“I
didn’t want to bother you. I know how busy you are…”
We hear that from past
clients, friends, and even family, all the time.
But, at that point, it’s too
late. And we are not talking about it being too late for us to make
money…
We
are talking about mistakes having been made, and regrets seeping in. And, at
that point, there is nothing we can do to help.
So, it just occurred to us
that it would probably help if we just reached out to you, to let you know
that you can and should call us. Anytime. For any real
estate need or question. Before you find yourself in the same position
as some other folks.
We know how busy you are,
so we won’t go into every detail, of every scenario we have seen happen in this
e-mail.
Here’s
a short list, just to give you an idea…
But
please, if you want more insight on any of these, give us a ring, or reply to
this e-mail, and will be happy to get into more detail with you.
1. You just want to go
see a house that is on the market…
(Yes,
even if you aren’t serious about buying it. We won’t be pushing you to buy the
house. We will be protecting you from making any regrettable decisions.
Unfortunately, we hear from people after they got swept up in the moment and
bought a house, and they are feeling regret, or have questions about the
process or their decision. At that point, we can’t chime in. Because another
agent represents them.)
2. You want to know
how much your home is worth.
(Yup, we know all about all
of those websites that show you the value of your home. And we know how
inaccurate they are. Whether you are just curious, are wondering if it makes
sense to sell, or need to get a handle on your net worth…just call/text/email
us. We will give you an accurate value of your home. Our pleasure. Not a
bother at all.)
3. You are considering
a home improvement project.
(Almost
any project you choose to do will certainly raise the value of your home. But,
will it raise the value more than it cost you? Better to know whether or not it
is money worth spending before you even start.)
4. You are thinking of
refinancing.
(Being
in the business, we get to know who the good lenders are, and who the
not-so-good ones are. We hear way too many horror stories from people about the
process being horrendous with such-and-such bank. Or that they felt duped
because they were quoted one rate, and were ultimately given a higher rate.
Just call/text/email us, and we will be glad to give you the names of some
people we would trust handling your needs.)
5. You don’t even work
in my area.
(Even
if you live hundreds of miles away, we can help… before you decide to buy or
sell a house. We can’t chime in once you are represented by an agent. But if
you call us before, we can remain involved and add our two cents, as long as we
have referred you to the agent you use. And we can really help find you a great
agent in your area. It’s not always the one with all the signs and sales! Let
us do some digging before you just hire anyone.)

Like
we said, this is not a thorough list. We just wanted to give you a sense of
some things you may not have wanted to “bother” us with, that we would never
consider to be bothersome.
