I've moved several times over the last 25 years and I've RELUCTANTLY accepted that I would need to utilize a realtor to list my homes. I've usually viewed my realtor as an undesirable (but necessary) COST. Really, who wants to pay out tens of thousands of dollars of home equity to have someone do what you could easily do yourself???
However, this is possibly the first time that I walked away from a real estate transaction thinking that my realtor was a NET BENEFIT rather than a net cost. Jace SAVED ME MONEY, TIME, AND EFFORT!
Our selling experience this time: The market was hot, homes (if priced right) were moving quickly, our home was clean and showed very well, and within 24 hours of listing we had an offer! But, that was the easy part. Where we really gained VALUE from our relationship with Jace was in his ability to structure and negotiate terms that would make our pending move less stressful. He advised that we ask the buyer to take possession of our home two days after the closing took place. That gave us much-needed margin and time to move our belongings of our old home and into our new home.
Then when the home inspection came back and the buyer requested a lengthy list of (unreasonable) repairs and modifications, Jace wisely helped us structure a counter offer. His guidance through this part of the process saved me significant time and money (I was prepared to make MANY more concessions than Jace recommended.)
In every way, we found ourselves thankful for Jace's services. He was always available to address our questions and concerns and he skillfully walked us through each step of the process. We liked Jace so much, we utilized his services to buy our next home! His stable presence made the usually-stressful process of selling and buying more bearable. Without hesitation, I recommend Jace to anyone in need of the services of a real estate PROFESSIONAL. read more
