My First Deal as a Realtor

This past week has been great for my new real estate business. I accomplished a goal and signed my first deal with a great couple that is buying a new construction. This will be their first house and I was so happy to have had the chance to work with them. It was a great experience and the lesson I learned form this deal was…location, location, location! Yep that’s right. I was able to close this deal because I found the ideal location my clients wanted then looked for the best option for them in this location based on what they could afford. They ended up buying a townhouse, which wasn’t what they initially started out looking for. They wanted a single-family home. But the townhouse was the best option for them in that location.

The other lesson I learned was that clients don’t always know what they will like from the get go. They may tell you they do not want a certain type of house but they can change their mind once they actually see the same type of house in person. Sometimes people have certain misconceptions about things that can cloud their judgment. I believe it is the realtor’s job to educate their clients and show them every possibility, every option, so that they can make a final educated decision about the house they want to purchase.

Buying a house is not an easy decision, especially for first time buyers. The process can be daunting and confusing. There are many rules and regulations and many forms to fill out! A great realtor will be with his clients every step of the way and help them through it all until closing. That’s what I have been doing with this couple and that’s the level of service I plan to provide to all my future clients. You will get the best customer service with me as your realtor. I want to start off this business with setting a certain standard, a certain level of service I want to hold myself up to with each and every client I take on.

The real estate market continues to change. House prices are going to continue to rise based on this latest article from Florida Realtors. See the link below:
