Selecting a Realtor is one of the most important decisions you will make when you are buying or selling a home. Here are five tips to help you make the best choice:

In the Sarasota market particularly, there are many part-time Realtors. Often retirees think that being a Realtor will be a “fun” thing to do.  It can be fun indeed, but it is a serious job and it requires all of the time, energy, and focus of any other job. To stay on top of the market, the new laws and contracts, and all of the other moving parts involved in real estate transactions & to properly represent the interests of clients, one really must be in this business full-time. Your neighbor who has a real estate license may be a lovely person, but if…

Good job to Shayla Twit. It is great when a client loves our services enough to send a raving review. Below is an email from one of Shayla's clients.

Congratulations to my associate Allison Werner for making another buyer happy and a successful transaction. Read the letter below which came to us from one of her happy clients. We love to receive these. ;-)

If you would like Allison to help you find your next home or condo in the Sarasota, Florida area fill out our dream home finder form and be sure to mention that you want to work with Allison.

I want to welcome Allison Werner to the fun. I met her at a social event back in November and pulled her over to Michael Saunders and Company to work with me. I was impressed by her work ethic and desire to succeed.

I threw her in the fire quickly and she has performed very well. Allison already has two pending transactions and several others that are very close to fruition. I highly recommend her.

How well do you know your Realtor? The sale or purchase of a property will probably be one of your largest transactions. Isn't wise to know who is representing you in such a transaction?

A few weeks ago I was showing property to some new clients. One of the reasons they chose to work with me was because she fell in love with the photo above. It was taken in the summer of 2005 and I have had the photo on my website ever since. I've received several great comments about it. So I decided to add other family photos. You can see them here.

If you really want to annoy a Realtor ask them to help find you a home and then buy the home through a different Realtor. Like many agents I have been burned this way in the past but not so much anymore.

I was recently contacted by someone asking for help in buying a home. One of the questions I ask everyone is, "Are you represented by a Realtor?" This person said, "Yes, I have been working with a close friend." Not everyone knows how real estate works so I explained to this person how the real estate process works and how that they need only hire one good Realtor to represent them.
