Most people think that they have to go out and find their own real estate professional when looking in a new area. Everyone knows a real estate professional or two (or more) where they live, but if they are relocating or buying a vacation home somewhere else, they may not know where to start to find a reputable real estate broker with whom to work.
What most people do is Google "best real estate agent in Orlando." Or, they start by looking at properties online on Zillow or Realtor.com and find an agent that way. And while this will work, if you choose a broker on Zillow, you most likely are NOT getting the listing agent or even a good agent. What you are getting is the agent who spent the most money with Zillow to have his or her name and phone number on the top. Often these are new agents or agents who don't have an existing book of business (i.e., not very experienced), and they are PAYING to get clients: thousands and thousands of dollars each month, to get you to click on them and close your deal.
For agents like me, who work mostly on repeat and referral business, we understand the power of experience, longevity, maintaining high ethical standards, and sharing business with the best of the best professionals around the world. That is why I was invited to be a member of Referral Exchange, an invite only network of top professionals, who refer business to one another, knowing that our clients will receive the best service with the best local knowledge.
So, if you or someone you know is looking for real estate ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, let me help find the perfect real estate professional to make your real estate dreams come true.
