As an Accredited Buyer's Representative in the Austin area, I relocate a lot of people and recently I had the pleasure of helping Shirley find a new home. When we first started the process, Shirley was living in corporate housing having unexpectedly been offered a job that required her immediate relocation. She wasn't sure whether to lease an apartment for 6 months or buy something. She wanted to move quickly.
Corporate housing was very temporary.
One of the things I really pride myself on is the ability to identify what the buyer wants and needs. Usually a buyer will tell you what they want but after the first outing at which time we look at several homes, I find it easier to really pinpoint what will make the buyer happy.
The first time out with Shirley, I observed her reactions to homes and their features. I listened carefully to her comments and the second time we looked at property, I nailed it. She found 3 she was interested in and one she loved. She settled on a spec home built by Highland Homes. It was ready to go and everything she was looking for - close to work, one-story, an office and very upgraded. Over the phone I negotiated for them to replace the carpet in the dining and living rooms with hard wood and of course the price came down considerably. She should be moving in a couple of weeks.
