I would like to make some realtor recommendations.
Foremost in the blogging world is Jim Klinge. I would definitely hire a guy like Jim Klinge. He’s got decades of exeperience in the field, a spreadsheet full of data, personal connections, and he’s a hard worker.
He makes sure his buyers get a home that will be easier to sell. How do we know what that is? Most people end up with a 2-story tract home. Bad idea.
Why not pay a guy like Jim a few grand, to make sure you get a home that you’ll be able to sell for a lot more, faster? I’m sure there are many more things like this, that he knows, that I wouldn’t know, and neither would anybody else working off a database and a fact sheet.
He also explains why this town is so dependent on the 1st time home buyer; the types of loans people have, why some sellers are raising their prices, and much more.
I also recommend Bob Casagrand, a savvy buyer’s agent and retired businessman. He’s got a ton of buyers on the sidelines now, and they are waiting for the right house at the right price.
Also remember SD Realtor, Adam Rappaport, who charges only 1% commission and has a wealth of experience with all types of properties. He’s an engineer, and he’s made many good posts about what to look for in a realtor.
