Not Your Typical Realtor Not Your Typical Realtor Bio

You loathe typical real estate bios Don’t worry I do too They’re like the boxes you’re packing your stuff in- stiff bland and identical to every other bio out there Instead of boasting ad nauseum about awards and accomplishments you’re not interested in I’m taking the novel approach of actually giving you what you want- real answers to questions you’re probably wondering right now

Will you return my calls and emails Yes Without question I realize this is one of the major frustrations the public has with dealing with agents I get dozens of calls and emails daily and I work hard to reply as soon as possible
I’ve met many Realtors who are arrogant and overly aggressive schmucks Are you
Depends on who you ask If you ask certain agents who have stood between my clients and their real estate goals they may say “yes” A handful of people think I leave glitter and rainbows every where I go Those are the two extremes and most people’s opinions falls somewhere in the middle Here’s what I can tell you: I’m honest and candid I take extreme pride in being friendly and approachable And if you need a quick real estate brain or a strong dose of honesty you’re in the right place Loyalty to family clients and friends is one of my core values Want to find out if I’m a a-hole Mess with one of those people
Do you have experience doing exactly what I need Until you tell me what you need there is no way of knowing These are strong suits of mine:
Working with first time and seasoned Buyers Sellers and Investors
Assisting out of the area clients and those relocating to the valley
Proudly helping military families with their housing needs
Being an ambassador for Phoenix’s greatest neighborhoods
If your goal or situation isn’t represented on that list don’t worry Contact me anyway If I can’t help I can get you referred to another agent who can
What kind of work are you really good at On a personal level I’m pretty good at baking (cookies especially) and I’m not too shabby at making people feel good (I’ve been told I’m funny ) I love to get my hands dirty gardening get my exercise by biking through my hood with my rescue dog volunteering and working on my vintage home
I also love to listen to 80’s music big trivia fan On a professional level here are the skill-sets I’ve developed:
Staying up-to-date on the economy changing laws and news that impacts the housing market
Handling objections
Treating people with respect
Listening to concerns frustrations needs wants and whatever you’re willing to tell me Unfortunately this is a lost art these days
Negotiating the BEST deal for my clients (even if it’s not the lowest!)
cutting-edge digital marketing tech and gadget skill proficiency that I employ for your sale or home search
Highly-trained Project Manager
Where do you work I cover Midtown and Downtown Phoenix and the Historic Neighborhoods as my area of expertise but know the entire Valley of the sun well If I don’t know your area/market well I will refer you to someone who does and who shares my work ethic in a heartbeat
If you like what you read and think we’d be a great fit but Phoenix isn’t your home or you’re too far out for me to properly service you I know agents who share the same work ethic (and sense of humor) all over the world I am happy to recommend someone who will take the same excellent care that I would!
What do clients think of you My clients are better suited to answer this for you I haven’t been great at asking for reviews (it’s hard asking for compliments!) I’m working on collecting reviews now
