They don't believe that a realtor is a salesperson. A successful realtor is many things:
A project manager– buying or selling a home in Chicago has many moving parts that need to work in conjunction so that you get the price and deal you are looking for. They use their combined 20 years’ experience helping clients buy and sell homes to make sure these are progressing correctly and on time.
A home coach– instead of trying to "sell" you something, they enjoy taking clients through all parts of the deal and risks associated with it. They know how a house is built, how it deteriorates and what to look for. That is key when performing a showing. They have often told clients to walk from a deal where they didn't believe they were being treated fairly, or there was an issue that couldn't be resolved correctly.
A confidant– you can trust them to have the knowledge, foresight, determination, integrity and valued opinion when purchasing or selling a home. Home purchasing and selling can be complex and you are putting items of great value in their trust. You can rest assured knowing they only have your best interests in mind.
A friend– part of understanding your needs and wants, a great realtor must be friendly and get to know their clients. You don't need to invite them over for scones and coffee, but it goes a long way when someone you just met cares about your interests, which can then be applied to help you find an amazing home!
A fierce negotiator– buying a home is a serious investment in your future. They always make sure their clients get the best deals and have had many successes doing so.
Finally, sometimes they are therapists. They truly enjoy people and understand that buying and selling homes involves emotional ties. Because of this, they do not keep hours. They work 24/7/365 so that if there is an issue or concern, they are there to help ease the tensions.
