With the real estate buying and selling season upon us, one aspect that’s not usually addressed is real estate referrals for either buying or selling in a different area than where you currently live.
Specifically, in a different county or state.
Most of the time, you’re going into an area blind and don’t know a local professional Realtor who matches your personality and knows the inventory. I’ve always taken great pride in setting my clients up with a top notch agent in the area that they’re planning on moving to. Why not start off on the right foot when buying your new home? Give your agent a call today.
The following update on local real estate information is based on Multiple Listing Service data as of Friday.
