Trust is More Than a Just a Word

There used to be a TV game show called "Who Do You Trust?" Johnny Carson was the host before he settled in at the Tonight Show. It featured his trademark snappy patter, and gave contestants a chance to win some money. Everyone had fun, and some people went home with a little extra cash.In a game show, trust isn't that important, and it only matters for about half an hour. But buying or selling a home is too important for games. You want a Realtor® you can trust, and someone who will be looking out for you all the way.
Where do you look for this person who will give you personal attention, who will answer your questions, and answer your phone calls?
You might look at a large real estate brokerage with dozens of agents. They certainly have impressive numbers that show they sell a lot of houses. They have standard procedures, forms, and policies that fit most needs. You may see their signs all over the area, and they do an acceptable job on average. They depend on volume to support a lot of advertising and overhead expense. The question you need to ask is, "Will a large company know me and my needs, or will I be just another 'deal' in their real estate machine?"
Now look at a smaller broker, one who places his name on the line with every transaction, and works with a small team of proven professionals. They know your name. They take the time to ask questions and really listen to your answers. They know the area they serve and all about the neighborhoods. They take your phone calls and return calls quickly. They look out for your interests, always, and unconditionally. And they depend on building lasting client relationships based on personalized service for their success. Individual attention and meeting the client's specific needs are their hallmarks. No games, just people you can trust.
