A Day in the Life of a Main Line Realtor

A Good Day Times 3 for these Lucky Sage Buyers of a Main Line Mid-century home. What makes a good day in the life of this Main Line Realtor®? One where my clients are happy with some result I have obtained for them. Recently it was closing day for one of my clients. Actually, it was 3 clients. A mother, her son and her daughter-in-law.

So, you’ve decided to sell your house. You’ve hired a real estate professional to help you through the entire process, and they have asked you what level of access you want to provide to your potential buyers.

A lot has happened in the Day in the Life of this Main Line Realtor®. Our young buyers in the multiple offer situation decided they would first put their condo on the market and check the interest before moving forward with offers on any homes.

It is almost closing day for my Main Line sellers, and most of the stress and drama is over for this Main Line Realtor®, although perhaps not really for the sellers. Anytime you are closing the “family home” to downsize, the process is somewhat sad. Many memories are associated with “things” in a home, so having to disperse those things can be very tough on folks.

Sometimes being a Main Line Realtor® has a lot in common with my other profession-an attorney. That is especially true when changing hats from the Buyer agent side to the Listing agent side. Just like in lawyering, you have to be able to see both sides of the “case” to be able to represent your client well.

This Main Line Realtor® is singing the same blues again this month. Still not a lot of inventory out there and Spring has been taking its good ol’ time getting here! That means, of course, that buyers are competing for the same small group of homes. This means multiple offer situations and those require some skilled buyer representation, for sure.

Buying and selling Main Line luxury homes is unique in many ways, but like any real estate deal, success begins with an agent you can trust. As a Main Line Realtor, I know I’m lucky to be dealing with buyers and sellers who’ve found a terrific community to call home.

Time to dust off some of my basic Main Line Realtor® skills, such as teaching home buyers about an area they know nothing about. It happens that I have 2 new clients moving here from other places with no real knowledge of the Main Line area other than its reputation. It was interesting to see how similarly the interview process went for each set of potential clients—although they were very dissimilar in their needs and wants.
