SERIOUS REAL ESTATE . . .

WITH A SMILE -

Most people equate moving with major headaches, whether it be across town or across country.  We constantly hear stories detailing the challenges involved in hiring the right moving company, the nightmares of coordinating utility connects and disconnects, even the frustrations of transporting the family pets! Yet,  the importance of finding the right real estate agent is rarely mentioned. 

However, most buyers and sellers admit working with the right real estate agent is vital. It can truly mean the difference between a happy, stress-free home buying or selling experience, and an unhappy, stressful experience that leaves a bad memory lingering even with the purchase of the most beautiful of homes.  Having an agent who is determined to help YOUR individual real estate dealings be productive, informative and pleasant is the ultimate goal.  A sense of humor while dealing with the inevitable real estate surprises won't hurt either!

What To Look For in Choosing Your Real Estate Agent?  Here are some important factors:

• Look for an agent ready and able to make a full-time commitment to you.  Do they really listen and take your individual interests to heart in buying or selling? Do they show you the easiest-to-get-to properties available or really research all homes for sale that might suit your needs?  When listing your home for sale, do they arbitrarily set a price without carefully setting out all the options?  Loretta Davey Martello is known for asking the important questions up front so that she can represent you with the knowledge of what your goals truly are.
• You'll want an agent with the experience needed to know the local neighborhoods, schools, market conditions, ordinances, etc. In the Jackson, Mississippi area and its surrounding communities, questions might arise about leasehold fees, sixteenth section land fees and P.I.D.'s.  What is the financial impact on you as the buyer of a property that qualifies for any of those special taxes?  As a seller, what do you need to know about these fees when dealing with potential buyers?  With Loretta's years of experience in the local market, she has the expertise and track record of success you need.
• In today's wireless world, an advantage will be to work with an agent who embraces the convenience of technology without losing the personal touch. You'll love the resources available on Loretta's website and the e-mail alerts that she sends, but she knows these will never replace the time she spends with you, serving as your personal guide through this exciting process.
