About:
When people ask me if, as a Realtor, I "sell homes," I answer, "I don't SELL people homes, I HELP people BUY homes!" In other words, I am primarily a Buyers' Agent who likes to introduce prospective home owners (especially first-timers) to the home-buying process. It's a lot less scary than it seems at first, especially if a buyer has a "team" (Realtor, attorney, lender, inspector etc.) of experts who can answer questions and give guidance in a professional yet friendly manner. The best compliment I can receive - from my clients and fellow professionals - is that I care about my customers and want to make the process easy, understandable, and enjoyable for them.
The reason I can give such comprehensive advice is that, unlike many of my peers, I have had experience working in law firms and lending institutions, and know the home-buying process from several perspectives. This work experience has been a big "plus" in my skill-set as a Realtor.
