Words Feed the Soul

I can’t think of a business transaction that doesn’t depend on an honest, trustworthy, and respectful relationship. For most of us deciding to put our home on the market, and perhaps reinvest in another, that’s the sort of person we are seeking. We want a person who not only possesses these qualities but does so simply because he or she is a person whose belief system is one of hard work and integrity. When we decided to sign with Kristen Pytel it was because we knew her character and because of that we knew we would be in very good hands. As experienced buyers and sellers with convictions of our own, we knew she would respect our wishes and we wouldn’t be asked to set those convictions aside. We were team mates with all eyes on the win, but only if it was the best for everyone involved. It was a tough market after two hurricanes, a N’or easter, inflation, and rising interest rates, but we had a good strategy and set goals which we reinforced at regular meetings. Kristen did her homework and priced us right and could defend it to any prospective buyer, which she did at our Open Houses and when following up on every showing. We believed our game plan was the right one and we stuck to it. We became good friends but that friendship never overshadowed our professional relationship. In the end, we sold for asking price and then repurchased for a good fair price in St. Augustine’s market. Real estate isn’t easy or for the faint of heart, be sure when you sign a contract with an agent that you consider that agent’s character. If that matters to you, perhaps you will take me at my word and simply sign with Kristen. I can’t guarantee a sale of course, but I can guarantee a very satisfying experience with someone who will work hard to make that sale a reality. Thank you Kristen and all of your support team for the more than satisfying experience. Professionalism has a new face in the real estate game. It’s yours and your teams. Fondly and sincerely, Eileen Ballman
