Hiring a REALTOR

Yes, even REALTORS hire REALTORS. If you follow my blog, you may remember that I recently posted a townhouse in Houston for sale. The property belongs to a family member who was moved to a nursing home and I took responsibility for getting it ready to sell and selling it. While I was in the make ready stage (getting it cleaned out, painted, repaired and recarpeted,) I posted it under my name for sale on multiple Web sites. Now that we are almost ready, I hired a Houston REALTOR. Posting under my own brokerage was a lot like for-sale-by-owner because I don't have the ability to place the property in the Houston MLS, I'm not familiar with the Houston market and I don't have an objective perspective as much as I tried. Did you know that 9 out of 10 for-sale-by-owners eventually list with a REALTOR? Well, I did.

A few years ago, I used my REALTOR connections to find a REALTOR for a client I had relocating to the Houston area. My client thought she was great and I thought she was great too. She has kept up with me for years and I really appreciate that so when it was time, I called Ruth Ann and she has been on top of it all. She provided me with comparatives so I could make an informed decision on price, a net sheet so I would know what expenses to expect and she even had a handyman who could take care of finishing details for me. It was such a relief to have a professional take over.
If you are plan to buy or sell in the greater Austin area, I want to be your REALTOR. If you plan to buy or sell somewhere else, allow me to find a reputable REALTOR for you. I know how to be the REALTOR you are looking for and what to look for in a REALTOR for you.
