My wife and I have been looking for a home for almost a year now...an agent from Prudential has helped us tremendously the entire time. The market in this region is cutthroat and every home ranging in price from 200k - 400k will easily have 5-15 offers within 48 hrs...pretty ridiculous...-in fact homes are going $20k+ OVER asking price!
Our agent has truly been AMAZING. Seriously, her expertise, professionalism, integrity, and kindhearted nature have been so far beyond what my wife and I ever expected from an agent, it's ridiculous. She represents only us, the buyers, so we get unbiased information all the time. We have never had a question go unanswered thoroughly, and we often get information on things we never even thought of asking. She has a lot of experience (19 years in Lompoc) and it shows every time we work with her because she literally knows every person in town and is the epitome of efficiency. Prudential's agents in general are extremely flexible with buyers and their schedules and I can tell each of them work very hard for business. It's not uncommon to go to the office at 7 or 8 in the evening and see 1 or 2 agents working with their clients.
So we ended up going to new construction, which is through a different company, because of the inability to compete with the market in this town. Our agent will receive a referral credit of some sort for sending us over there...my thought would be that once we did a "hand off," Prudential would be done with us...NOT THE CASE. Our agent contacts us very frequently out of her own free will to make sure we are being treated right and to help us address any concerns (which there are many with new builds!).
Without a doubt, if you need a good agent in Lompoc or any of it's sister cities, you have to go to Prudential. My wife and I often talk about how we don't know what a better agent could do for us...in fact I don't think we cold find a better one.
Thanks Debbie for all your help! read more
