Rhonna has worked as a Texas Realtor in Dallas and Austin since graduating from SMU many years ago. As a lifelong career she’s had the privilege to help people successfully buy, sell, build homes and purchase Investment income. For her, the rewards are immense getting to know interesting people she would not have met, using her skills to help in purchasing a home and guiding through what can be a confusing stressful process of buying. After many years, Rhonna has altered the way she works away from the traditional Real Estate method of a numbers game. yes, she is paid in the same way, a % of the price from the Seller's proceeds at closing. Real Estate is personal and involves substantial amounts of money for most, it's the largest investment in life. She only works with a certain number of people at any one time, assuring she is available to you. She oversees everything herself instead of hiring assistants that may not care & lack her expertise and experience. There are so many moving parts in a real estate transaction meaning making informed decisions quickly.
Before starting Rhonna can recommend a lender suited to your needs, to start the approval process and determine a comfortable price range. She can assist you in finding your home which many times involves a process to learn what you really want. She moves at your pace and teach you the market which enables you to make confident decisions. Rhonna can help you find your house whether it takes you and her one time or months of looking. She writes the contract, looks up the comparables and negotiate on your behalf. She works with the lender, schedule Inspections, review Title work, survey, HOA documents, walk through and accompany you at closing
.
After closing, she is still there when needed from recommendations for painters, plumbers, designers, etc. A Realtor years ago described our job as being a matchmaker, matching Buyers to the right Home.
For Sellers, the process is the same, but differing in task. She discusses your needs determining if you are wanting the highest price or timing is most important. Rhonna sets up a plan, accordingly, tailored to our needs to insure you, she can reach the Seller's goal. If you want the highest price then she starts by looking at your house from a Buyers perspective while making a list of repairs needed, extra items packed and stored, flowers planted, etc. Depending on the age, she may even have the house Inspected fixing those items, too. Buyers are willing to pay more for a home in "move in" condition with repairs made and price reduced because of days on the market. Once the house is ready, the marketing phase begins starting with professional photos to best represent the house on the Internet. Today's Buyer looks on the Internet prior to walking in a house. Most homes are eliminated due to poor photo quality and not having the house in showing condition. Also, she will put information for Buyers in the home and in MLS such as the Survey, Seller's Disclosure, past Upgrades, neighborhood info, etc. Rhonna wants to answer Buyers questions ensuring the correct information is conveyed and all questions answered so they can make an offer. The property goes in Austin Multiple Listing Service and 100's of Internet Home Sites from Zillow- Redfin. She makes it easy to show and quickly receive an offer. She will even call the buyer's agent to inquire about the buyer and loan status, present the offer pointing out terms and anything not to your advantage. Rhonna negotiates an offer meeting your goals. She will keep you informed of Inspections, loan approval, providing any information needed, reviewing Title work, HOA and closing documents.
