Diane Stefan helped me search for my new home in Soldotna, Alaska. She negotiated the Contract on my new home and did everything necessary for Closing the purchase of my home. Diane is a Superb and knowledgeable Real Estate Agent with many years of experience with Alaskan real estate. She can help you buy or sell real estate anywhere in Alaska. I met Diane in Anchorage, Alaska, and hired her to be my "Buyer's Real Estate Agent" for my next home in Soldotna, AK. I learned about Diane from an Acquaintance living in Anchorage, and also from my real estate agent that sold my former home in Marietta, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.
In my first meeting with Diane, she gave me a portfolio with three handouts. One page listed 10 of her Commitments to the Buyer, and four of the Commitments she expected of me. The second page summarized her home buying process in 16 steps. The third page was a list of mortgage lending contacts, local and national. Diane recommended that I use lenders in Alaska because in short turn-around situations, lenders in the "Lower-48 States" could not respond quickly because of large Time Zone differences from Alaska. I met later with, and selected an excellent Senior Mortgage Loan Originator that was on Diane's list of lenders. Diane asked me what style of home I was looking for, and the size of the home that I desired in Soldotna, on the Kenai Peninsula. We discussed yard size and if views of the mountains, rivers, or Cook Inlet were important to me. At the end of our meeting, I knew that I wanted to work with Diane. Together, during the next week, we put together a portfolio of potential homes for me to review and to select for viewing.
After Diane and I looked at the first house that might have fit my wishes, it was obvious to me that Diane had a sharp eye for construction, and the lack of maintenance and care of the home that was up for sale. Afterwards, I gave total control to Diane to negotiate the best possible deal for me on the next home we looked at. My confidence in her talents was rewarded when she successfully, and quickly, developed a strategy and negotiated my Binding Contract for a home that had another buyer's interest.
I would work with Diane for every Alaskan home that I may sell or buy in the future. She is an excellent "Buyer's Agent" and negotiator. I would expect her skills to be just as good when she is a "Seller's Agent."
A Fact: Diane is an agent in The Largest RE/MAX Office in the U.S.A., of about 300 people. read more
