First of all, let me just say that Tina Wheeler is an AMAZING realtor who will advocate for you 110%! Tina was communicative, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and made my husband and I feel comfortable throughout the entire process of buying our first house. Honestly, talking to her felt like talking to family - she was honest with us, didn't make us feel pressured at all, and she patiently answered all the questions we had as first-time homebuyers. Though she was easy to talk to, she was definitely a strong negotiator when it was time to work through negotiations with the seller - we could tell right away that Tina is highly experienced and that she loves what she does.
Tina also DOES HER HOMEWORK! When my husband and I saw a listing we really liked (on a Wednesday), she initially arranged for us to check out the house over the weekend. However, she looked into it right away and found out that the seller had multiple offers and would only accept offers until that Friday (only 2 days later!). Tina called us Thursday and asked how serious we were about our interest in the house, passed on the information about the offer deadline, and left it up to us to make a decision. We decided to go for it, so she drafted our offer THAT NIGHT, had us review it, met up with me the next morning (on Friday - the due date for the offer!) to check out the house, then sent our offer to the seller. Tina also called the seller's real estate agent to make sure they would still be able to review our offer since it was so last minute.
When our offer was accepted (woohoo!), Tina called us right away to let us know. She guided us throughout the escrow process, kept detailed notes, and used her knowledge and expertise to help us develop realistic requests during negotiations.
Needless to say, it all worked out - my husband and I were able to get the house of our dreams! We're still floating on Cloud 9 about our first home together, and we honestly couldn't have done it without Tina's professionalism, guidance, communication, and thorough, diligent work! If you're looking to buy a home, Tina Wheeler is your girl! read more
