Call me for the name of an agent in Orange County that can help you, but don't call me or any other agent that works out of the area and expect to get an expert.
When you need a surgeon, you look for the expert in the area of your surgery.
You wouldn't call a brain surgeon,
for surgery on your knee.
Real Estate is local and that will not change. I am an expert in Big Bear Real Estate, but I don't know enough about any other area to do a good job for you. Work with an full time agent that is actively working the area that you will be buying or selling in. These agents will be the most knowledgeable about the inventory and local market conditions.
Every week I see agents from out of the area showing property to clients as if they are experts in Big Bear Real Estate.
- Ask your agent how many closed sales they have in the area that you are looking to buy or sell.
- Ask your out of the area agent if he can tell you the utility providers for the different areas of Big Bear.
- Ask your out of the area agent how to perform a winterization on your Big Bear home.
- Ask your out of the area agent about the types of termites that live in Big Bear.
- Ask your out of the area agent for a local contractor reference.
- Ask your out of the area agent where the City of Big Bear Lake ends and the county area begins.
and the list goes on......
Out of the area agents will fail this test, and I would fail a similar test in an area that I am not an expert.
Real Estate is Local!
