I've worked with real estate agents from the upper Midwest to the desert Southwest and the Gulf Coast. Experience tells me that a local professional, someone with a full-time real estate career has obvious advantages in being familiar with market trends, neighborhoods, amenities, lenders and their competitors. But the most important traits of a professional agent are the ability to LISTEN to their clientele. give complete, unbiased information and anticipate issues that, as determined by their intuition (mostly gained through conversations with the client) are critical to the buyer whether they have already considered these items or not. Someone who isn't afraid to mention both the positive and negative about a prospective property such that the buyer might avoid financial mistakes that often occur by viewing a property "through rose colored glasses". This method of going above and beyond creates a relationship based on trust and mutual benefit. And this is what Stephanie Gill is all about. She takes as much time and puts in whatever efforts are required for each client such that when the process is completed the chosen home is as close to perfect for the client's circumstances as humanly possible. I'm not certain that the term "professional" does Stephanie enough justice. She is without doubt one of if not the best agent I have had the pleasure to associate with over my 35+ years of home buying. Stop looking around and CALL HER. It's a guaranteed win for YOU!
