ZillowVERIFIEDWhat value does a realtor bring to the home buying process anymore, given there is so much information available online? Are they worth the price anymore or are they just a necessary evil in todays market? After working with Kristen and Kendall, we quickly realized how much value a local, reputable, and well-connected agent brings to the table. Sure, we were able to identify houses through online searches, but what you cant see, even during showings, is the neighborhood dynamic. During showings, Kristin was busy calling friends in each neighborhood, giving us invaluable information well beyond what you can find online or even see in person while youre at a house for an hour. When it came to making a competitive offer, her insights were always spot on with comps and gut feelings. We got our first bad taste of the competitive Spring 2022 market, being one of 13 offers where the top offer was a crazy 25% over asking, and she quickly became our therapist and friend (probably in that order). This all led to finding our dream home in a family-friendly neighborhood that we never thought existed. Kristin was in close contact with the sellers, allowing us to make a competitive offer within our budget. From the offer to the inspection, and through closing, she was in daily contact with us to keep our mind at ease.Then we chose to list our home and the Reyes Team knocked it out of the park! Kristin walked through our home and advised what we should fix up and how to set up the rooms. Their picture and video crew, along with the marketing of the Reyes Team, did a fantastic job highlighting our home, which brought a ton of families though the open house. A week after accepting an offer, the buyer's financing fell through and we had another direct conversation with Kristin, who advised us to have another open house. A day after our second open house, we accepted an even better offer, which has since closed! There were more unavoidable bumps in the road than we ever anticipated in both the purchase of our current home and sale of our previous. It has never been more evident that having the right partner to navigate these waters is invaluable. Were so thankful for the Reyes Team and cannot imagine working with anyone else.
