In life we surround ourselves with trusted professionals, our doctors, lawyers, accountant, financial advisor, and pastor. Why wouldn’t a realtor be a part of that team? This is a question we should all ask ourselves. You wouldn’t just pick a doctor out of the phone book. You’d google them ask your friends who they go to and then make a decision right. That is exactly what you are doing if you are reading this testimonial. So let me tell you why my husband and I have chosen James and Christine to fill the spot of Relator on our team of advisors.
In late 2007 – early 2008 we like all other wanted to sell while the bubble was high. Several realtors tried to convince us it was a great market look what you could sell your house for, remember that was right before it crashed. The Clarks came in sat down with us and did a complete market analysis with us, one of the only ones who did, after answering all our questions and asking several thought provoking questions, are you sure as the market is very high right now, we listed with them. Although we end up withdrawing the house due to the arrival of our second baby, we knew we had found our team.
In 2011 we were ready again. The first phone call was to the Clarks. We called them on a Saturday and the next day, Palm Sunday, they were at our house and listing had us up on MLS. Monday afternoon the sign was in the yard. Tuesday morning we had our first showing and Tuesday night our first offer. We had purchased a house before but never sold one. The Clarks walked us through the process guiding us step by step and answering all our question. Result we were under contract by Good Friday.
Next came buying a house which we thought would be easy since it was a buyer’s market. Not so for me, as it turns out I’m a picky buyer. To make matters harder for the Clarks my priorities for a house and my husband’s were different. For over nine months they helped us search for a house never once forcing us to make a purchase. Four our bids later we found our dream house. It was Christmas night after frustration and taking Christine’s advice to look just a little higher, as an asking price is just that, we found it. I texted her that night and the next day we saw the house. They again guided us through the process of purchasing the house. All the while making sure all our “I”s were dotted and “t”s crossed giving us the confidence to make this purchase.
If you want a team that know the market, care about you and your family, aren’t it just for the sale, then you should call James & Christine Clark, “The Clark Team”, today! They are our realtors for life. I carry their business card with me everywhere. When asked if I know a good realtor the only words that come out my mouth are The Clarks!
