Looking 4 a realtor

[SD Realtor]

Hi Matt

Honestly the past few weeks my posting and even browsing time online has been significantly reduced as I have been extremely busy. Also I think I have posted my email address on the site more then a few times. I do try to answer emails when people contact me so if you tried and I did not it would be to an inadvertent deletion of the mail or it went to the bulk mail box.

I do know the areas that you discussed, some of them better then others. I don’t want to profess to be an expert in an area that I am not.

Finally I get kind of tired of having to deal with certain posters who feel that guys like sdr, or ur or any of the other realtors here are doing nothing but trying to talk people into buying so I find it better to not respond to certain posts at all.

Anyways as I said if you did email me and I did not respond I apologize and it was either that I did not see your email or deleted it inadvertently. If you like my email is [email protected].

For Del Cerro, I’d suggest Kassy Kaiser, who has been “farming” my parents in Del Cerro forever. She knows the territory. La Mesa, Stan Sexton, although I believe he’s been maligned on OCrenter’s blog. We live in La Mesa (third home) and used Stan as our buying agent in either 86 or 87 for our first home. No problems. We did the last two sales on our own. Google for contact info.

BG,
What is wrong with redfin is that you are completely on your own. The value of someone that really knows the area you are looking in and can foresee things about a home that you wouldnt ever think of in advance because they look at far more homes than you ever would is worth more than I could ever say.[/quote]

Hm… you make it sound like all you have to offer is a glorified SDLookup. And the cost is the difference between yours and redfin’s fee.

I am on my own with a 3% agent just as well. There is no satisfaction guarantee and no return period.

BG I think everyone has different needs as a buyer. Some buyers want a very specific realtor who has pinpoint knowledge of a very granular area. Some buyers do alot of legwork on thier own. Some are first timers and need alot of handholding. Some people only want rebates or credits back from thier agents. The point is that there are alot of different needs for alot of different buyers. I am about to close an escrow for a client who was with Redfin. These people had initially called to work with me only because of my rebate. They said that it was between me and Redfin and decided to try Redfin because they were a large company.

They came back to me because they were in a previous escrow that crashed and burned with Redfin. The property that they were in escrow in had actually claimed to have a much larger lot then what was the legal lot size. They had in fact fenced in several thousand feet of open space, about 1/3 of the lot. Basically Redfin did not even bother to look at the lot boundaries and took them for granted.

So I guess it is what it is.
