Brenda and I work with clients in Austin. For listings we can cover much of the city, but we usually only work with buyers in the central and southwestern part. Why? As a buyer’s agent local knowledge is helpful, and we don’t feel as though we can exonomically do a good job for a buyer in Pflugerville, for instance.
We can help with purchases outside of our area though. How do we do it? Since we’re affiliated with Keller Williams, the second largest brokerage in North America we can help find the perfect agent for a transaction almost anywere in the U.S. or Canada. Once we know the type of property, price range, and area, we can connect you with a top KW agent who’s an expert. Even for commercial transactions.
The benefit is that you get an agent that has a proven track record of success with a premiere agency. And if you have other suggestions from friends or relatives you can interview all of them and choose the best option. This can help defuse the situation if you have an aunt that you really like, but don’t think she’s the best choice for your transaction.
Why do we do it? We may get a small portion of the agent’s commission, but ideally we hope to return the favor when the agent needs someone in our part of Austin.
Next time you need an neighborhood specialist for your area, no matter where your are, give us a call. There’s no obligation to use our recommendation, and no cost, so there’s really nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
