Buying and Selling Real Estate in Today’s Marketplace

Most of us have experienced the occasional ups and downs of the real estate marketplace over the years. Many times sharp spikes and declines in sales have occurred locally when there have been significant changes that have occurred, say in the automobile industry, and occasionally regionally when natural disasters have struck.
Today’s real estate downturn is different in many ways from those in the past, however. It’s been the perfect storm in a sense as nearly every segment of our economy, as well as the global economy, has been impacted. The bad news is that locally we have felt the impact of the current financial downturn. The good news is that we have not experienced the severe volatility that has occurred in many other areas of the nation.
All this aside, navigating through today’s real estate marketplace is a much more daunting task than it had been just a few short years ago. The key to buying and selling in today’s marketplace will depend in large part in the selection of the real estate professional you choose to represent you.
For sellers, an experienced and knowledgeable Realtor® will guide you through the thorough evaluation of your property and help you to develop a pricing strategy and a comprehensive marketing plan.
For buyers, an experienced and knowledgeable Realtor® will conduct a detailed analysis of your specific and unique needs and help you to find the right home, at the right price, that will meet your needs. Your Realtor® will also help you to successfully navigate today’s mortgage market, which is much more challenging than any other time in recent memory.
If you are considering buying or selling a home soon, I would encourage you to contact me to discover the difference that my nearly two decades of experience can make for you and your future. I look forward to your call.
