I spent most of last Saturday looking at residential property with the help of Clint Bickford of the Mark Fritschle Group. We looked at, and, or, discussed Snow HIll, Berlin, Princess Anne, Salisbury, and Ocean City. Clint was very knowledgeable in each area.
In looking at properties, Clint helped me understand the +/-'s of each property, and while he let me know when a property was listed by his real estate group, I never felt like he was pushing their properties.
Clint has some construction experience, as he actively participated in the renovation of his own home, so he was even helpful in identifying possible renovations, and repairs required of properties that needed a little work.
In the mix were even some "auction only/no commission" properties, and Clint was just as helpful in showing us, and discussing these properties as the properties where he would make a commission. I really felt like he had my best interests at heart, and valued the long term business relationship over a short term sale.
If you are looking for an agent who knows the area, and is smart, and honest, you should start by talking to him. read more
