Realtors sell houses and help people buy homes. You have a relationship with your agent for a brief time and then both of you move on. Sounds simple enough. But, peel back the layers of that relationship, and you find how much of an impact your agent can be, not just during the buying and selling process, for many years to come.
A home doesn’t stand as a single, uncomplicated entity. It needs maintenance, decorating, fixing up, landscaping and protection. A home needs to be cleaned, plumbed, air conditioned, heated, insured and pest-protected.
As real estate agents, we have so many reliable resources that will make life in a new home much easier. Our referrals are very important for first-time homebuyers who may have difficulty looking beyond the thrill of owning property for the first time.
When that first leak appears, whom should you call? It might be odd to say, “Call your real estate agent” but we know top-notch talented plumbers who understand the homes in our area and all their quirks.
Are you new to our area? We know the best schools, where to shop, how to get your car fixed in less than a day and when the next St. Charles area festival will happen. Do you want a short commute to work, or would you prefer to live a bit outside the metro area?
We can recommend doctors, dentists and optometrists, bakeries, farmers’ markets that sell homegrown produce and great cultural events to get a feel for your new community.
As real estate agents, we know our communities and have a wealth of information to make your life in your new home so much easier. Count on us to make the whole home buying/selling experience that much more.
