Outstanding realtor who expertly navigated the real estate market to successfully sell my home
When I began my home selling journey I interviewed 3 realtors to determine the best option. I have sold 3 homes within the last 5 years so I felt I had learned some good lessons on what I liked and didn't like about the home selling experience as it relates to working with a realtor. Professionalism, knowledge, and past success rates are all important factors to consider but essentially working with a realtor is a 'relationship'. For this reason, it was critical to me to be able to connect with a like-minded person throughout the home selling process. Living in 'The Springs' community added another layer of complexity to the home selling experience that I felt would benefit from expertise within the community, but it wasn't a deal breaker if a realtor agent was not intimately familiar with The Springs. I felt a very experienced realtor would be able to cover The Springs even if they hadn't sold homes in the Springs in the past. During my interviews it was apparent that all 3 agents were highly qualified and I felt I would have success with any one of them. However, Iris stood out from the other 2 in that she came prepared with comps and was ready day 1 to suggest a listing price. Her knowledge of the market was incredible. She was also a resident in The Springs which did give her the edge from an understanding of this special community, the governing HOA rules, and the special fees required for a home seller. She was very attentive to my needs as a seller and closely worked with me to successfully market the home to other realtors. She was very deliberate in coordinating home showings which essentially eliminated no-notice surprise showing requests making my life more manageable through the process which made me very happy. I had an offer and the home was under contract within 3 weeks which was outstanding given the asking price. I would most definitely work with Iris again and I strongly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell a house anywhere in the Orlando FL.
