I Have The Best Builder - An Ex-Realtor!


Working several years with an ex-realtor that started building homes and wanted me to list his houses. I was a little taken back, when I met with him, to realize that he had watched my advertising and knew my listing strategy. Knowing the market, I was able to preview his homes and tell him how to price his homes.

This year, I currently have two homes on the market, in Nixa, Mo. one I just received an offer on this last week. My assistant could not get him on the phone, so she went to his house and rang the door bell. First thing she heard was the baby start to cry.

The builder's wife answered the door, looking a little upset because she had woke the baby. My assistant told her she had a full price offer, close in 3 weeks. The builders wife's grabbed her and danced her around. She said, I don't care if you did wake the baby....we have an offer!

In today's market, we have to educate all the sellers. I am blessed to have a builder that understands how the market fluctuates and continues to have faith in me, even when the market slows.
