A true pearl - Dawna made the selling of our home and buying of our "new" home a truly painless and easy experience. She was involved in everything from help in preparing our home to sell to finding and negotiating the purchase of our new home. Even more amazing, as this is really my first experience in these types of transactions, she was able to keep my nerves at a low rumble.
She is a true expert in managing expectations of both sellers and buyers. I know this because we were involved in a sell and buy simultaneously.
She always seemed to have the right words to manage ruffled feathers between buyers and sellers on both ends of our transactions.
I don't believe anyone could, or would be willing, to take on all of the nitty-gritty aspects of the process, frequently leaving us to simply nod our heads yes or no as all of the myriad decisions were made.
I won't say the entire process was easy, but I will say I've never worked with a realtor who took more responsibility or worked harder to help us achieve our goals than Dawna did.
Would I use her again? You bet! Would I recommend her to a friend? In a heartbeat.
- See the opportunity- Be observant of condition, wet weather is a great time to check for leaks, roof and other areas rain impacts.
- Leave the rain at the door- To be respectful and keep other peoples’ carpets and floors clean, wear slip-on shoes to remove at door and/or wear plastic shoe covers to go over your shoes.
- Observe where water flows- Roofs are not the only areas that are impacted by water. Watch for the ground-level water drainage situation on the property, and observe adjacent properties including their elevation relative to the property you are viewing.
- Take advantage of market conditions with bad weather- If more difficult or inconvenient to view, there may be fewer visitors. This might mean less competition with other buyers.
- Be considerate of sellers- Rain is an inconvenience for many, especially for sellers with pets and families. Allow for extra time during showings and display extra kindness.
