Do You Help Buyers Find Homes Or Buy Houses?

A question came up to me the other day and it was interesting when I looked at the context in which it was asked. I was being interviewed over the phone by a potential home buyer looking to relocate here from out of the area. Most of the questions he asked were the ones I expect to hear.... but one threw me for a little bit of a loop when he asked it and I had to think about it before I answered the question. "Do I help buyers find homes in the Charlotte, NC area or do I help them buy houses in the Charlotte area?" My first inclination is to say both....But fortunately I thought about it before I answered and replied with I help buyers find homes. Some might say this is a play on words...but is it really? As a Realtor it is my goal to help buyers find the right house for their needs at this particular time in a budget that they can afford; in an area that they want to live. It is not always easy and sometimes you have to point out things to them that they overlooked and shatter what they thought was their potential dream home and keep looking for a home. But I love what I do and helping people find the right homes is a great feeling to have. If you are looking to buy a house; then it is let me show you these six or seven homes and pick one. Or let's settle for this because that is the best option of what is out there right now. I have worked with buyers that have taken me nine months to a year to find the right home for them and their family and have had some find it on the first trip out looking at homes...... It does not matter to me as long as they are happy and I know I have sent them as many homes that fir their criteria as possible and we looked at the homes they wanted to see before making an educated decision on a house... I am in the business of relationships and helping couples and families find a home that is right for them....So I help people find homes not buy houses.....Ironically they and I are working together and we an offer on a house....They told me I was the only Realtor they interviewed over the phone that did not answer both….And they interviewed seven agents over the phone….WOW Dave diCecco Realtor/Broker Coldwell Banker United www.davedicecco.com
