Real Talk in Real Estate

Paula Rea-Johnston and Linda Rea share the importance of building trust within the realtor community as well as with clients. Creating a reputation built on trust takes time and experience.  This is why it will always matter who you choose as your agent! Yes the market is hot right now, but a trusted agent with experience and a proven track record will get you top dollar for your home. They won’t take the first offer because it’s $10k over, they’ll know to wait and take the offer that’s $70k more! They’ll also know when to take the offer that’s a bit lower because knowing the true value of a home is what they’re experts in!
