As a Lake Charles Louisiana Century 21 Realtor, my job is to convey as much information as possible to my clients during their home purchase and relocation. Sometimes that requires going the extra mile in which I am called upon to wear many hats!
Experience is not just an educational accomplishment. There is something to be said for being an expert in the community in which you live. Living in a community and being active and aware of what your City has to offer becomes very important. I don’t take my residency for granted, I stay involved, explore and stay in the know so I can be the TO-GO person for my clients!
Earlier in May I was contacted by a buyer in Pompano Beach, FL who was moving here to Lake Charles and told me she found me on the Internet. The buyer had already been to my website and knew alot of about me already.
The relocating buyers scheduled a trip to Lake Charles and I met them at their hotel. I was their guide and local expert as we spent two days together of intense house hunting. We wrote a contract before they left to fly back to Florida. Handling the transaction from a distance required going the extra mile on my part for my buyers including attending the inspection for them , meeting with a structural engineer and giving them referral sources for insurance and lenders. After a few hurdles during inspection and appraisal, we finally closed this week, just in time for the arrival of the moving truck with all their furniture!
We sometimes take for granted the little things we assume everyone else knows. Real estate is more than just a transaction, as agents we are also guides and referral sources. My buyers were interested in club memberships, boat docking and recreation. I was able to provide them with this information as a community expert including referring the wife to a nail and beauty salon!
