The True Value of a Real Estate Agent Goes Beyond the Home Sale
Reach out!
When you think about the role of a real estate agent, most people assume it starts and ends with helping you buy or sell a home. But in reality, our job extends far beyond that initial transaction. As agents, we provide ongoing value by staying connected and offering support even after the sale. From guiding you through refinancing to helping you with renovations, here’s how we add value to your homeownership journey long after the closing papers are signed.
Local Lenders vs. Big Banks: Why It Matters
One of the most crucial connections we can offer is putting you in touch with local lenders. The difference between working with a local lender versus a big bank is significant. While big banks primarily focus on loan servicing, local lenders specialize in loan origination. This means they are more personally invested in helping you get the best terms and truly care about you as a client.
When interest rates drop, or you want to tap into your home’s equity, we can quickly refer you to a trusted local lender who has your best interests at heart. These professionals know the local market, understand the nuances of your situation, and will offer personalized service that you simply won’t get from a larger financial institution.
Access to a Network of Trusted Vendors
Another way agents provide lasting value is through our extensive network of contractors, vendors, and suppliers. On our website, we’ve compiled a list of over 250 trusted contacts that we, along with past clients, have worked with and highly recommend. Whether you need a contractor for a renovation, a plumber for repairs, or an electrician for upgrades, we can connect you with reliable professionals who will get the job done right.
We don’t just stop there. We are constantly expanding our network, looking for highly recommended service providers within the community, based on client reviews and feedback. That way, you know you’re getting the best in the business for any home project you need.
