Social Worker = Realtor?

Social Worker = Realtor? It could be more similar than you think…In my previous life as a social worker I worked at a child abuse center, psychiatric educational school and mental health facility doing various activities. Now I work with people that feel somewhat abused from the real estate market (usually from other states), taken advantage of by banks and wanting a deal because they need a certain amount of money for their current home or have a magical number in their head in mind for purchasing a new home.  I get it! I totally understand where you are coming from and my goal is to help you get as close to your dreams as reasonably possible. With this being said, I look at every opportunity with an objective view and love showing people the facts and letting them make their own decisions.

We are bombarded daily with daunting and scary news by the media. I’m not here to sugar coat it, just to give you a different perspective. Interest rates are still great even though it may take a little more paperwork and time to get a loan. Should we really complain about this since it is for consumer protection? It is still a Buyer’s market in most areas which means as a buyer you may get a better deal. People still need to sell their homes because of relocating, new jobs, having larger families and downsizing etc. Some sellers still want/need to sell to improve or adjust their quality of life. No matter what the economy looks like there will always be people who need to buy or sell.

My job is to help you determine if it’s the right time or not. I have found that sometimes people live in fear of what could happen. Well the truth is that no one knows what tomorrow will bring but we do have choices. So if purchasing or selling is something you have been considering give me a call. I would love the opportunity to discuss your options.  I bring a variety of skills to the table with my past experience as a social worker and realtor. I believe that these skills give me an advantage and if my clients ever get really stressed I can always talk them off the bridge:)
