What makes a great real estate agent?
Buying or selling your home is something that will have an immense impact on your daily life.
You want to be sure that you have the best possible guidance to help you make this important decision.
There are a number of things that you should look for when choosing a real estate agent, but what separates the good agents from the great?
A great (or dare I say incredible?) agent does three things that go above and beyond any of your expectations.
Reinvent “normal”
Say goodbye to the long-winded bureaucratic, rigid process that you are used to. Your home is too valuable to be placed in the hands of a secretary that is arguably not qualified for the task! You want a real estate agent who takes matters into his or her own hands and makes sure you are getting the attention and service that you deserve.
Jamie’s company, Sterling Pacific Realty, is its own entity and therefore is able to do things a bit differently -creating more value you. Jamie believes in taking a hands-on approach to all areas of the sale which ensures that your home is receiving the care, expertise and attention that it deserves.
Has expert-level knowledge
You want an agent who understands the workings of the real estate industry. Someone who can tell you where a developer has cut corners, or tell you what the value of your renovations are. Good real estate agents will show you around the house and explain the features, a great agent will explain where the value lies in each home.
Jamie has achieved a Bachelors of Commerce specializing in Finance with an emphasis on Real Estate and Marketing from the UBC Sauder School of business. This higher-level education in many key areas leaves Jamie with the ability to analyze and create unique business plans for each and every client. Jamie also has extensive experience with residential development and has been directly involved in building over 14 homes!
Is always Working For You!
The doors should never be closed – always ensuring the best possible service for customers. Many brokerages rely on secretaries to load homes and pictures during the standard working day, which results in huge delays and less exposure! Often times, brokerages load the information for the listing and the pictures at separate times, ultimately leading to an unfinished presentation and lost interest by prospective buyers.
Jamie markets all of his own listings on the MLS personally, and begins doing this in the early morning to ensure that your home gets the most exposure over others. Jamie’s homes are guaranteed to be the first listings on the MLS in the respective market area, complete with pictures, over all other homes that day – no exceptions!
As an owner of Sterling Pacific Realty, Jamie prides himself on reinventing what you see as normal, bringing an unparalleled level of knowledge of all facets of the real estate industry and his commitment to always work for you!
