When buying a home, communication with your REALTOR® is key. I’m an easy-going guy, and yet, it makes me crazy when I hear a home buyer or seller say they can’t get in touch with their agent. No matter what price range you’re looking in, I give you all of my effort in finding the home that’s right for you. I love guiding my clients through the process, and I pride myself on making sure it’s a good experience. I want you to feel good and be excited about the home you find. For me, that’s the best part of being in real estate.

So, what does that have to do with communication? When you have me as you buyer’s agent, you WILL be able to reach me. Whether by phone, email or texting, I’m always connected. And this includes evenings and weekends.

Also, as your buyer’s agent, I promise to protect your interests from the moment you first enter a home all the way through the price and inspection negotiations to the closing table. Further, while I want you to find a great house, I will always give you my professional opinion on the condition of the home. This is not to pull you away from a house, but to make sure it’s an honest experience for you so that when you move in, you’ll be truly satisfied with your purchase.

It wasn’t too many years ago that my wife, Lauren, and I bought our first home. I remember well the challenges we faced. Since buying our first home, I’ve also successfully bought and remodeled two homes on my own for resale, and as an agent, I recently completed my 100th sale with Wagner Inc. Real Estate.

While most of the agencies in this area are large franchises, Wagner Inc. Real Estate is a mid-size family-owned business that’s currently celebrating its 80th Anniversary. As a buyer, this is an advantage to you because of the way our office works in terms of specialized client service. We have a small group of 25 people, including a manager and conveyance department, who work together to make sure your deal goes through smoothly and successfully. With so many people looking out for you, we ensure your papers are in order and everything is on course to a successful close. This removes the worry and stress from your home-buying process.

One thing we’ve learned from our many years in business is that every real estate deal is different and provides new challenges. But when you have the 125+ years of combined management experience at Wagner Inc. Real Estate supporting your transaction, you can be assured of success through any challenge that comes along, right to the very end when you’re handed the keys to your new home.

Recent statistics show that Main Line home sales have increased and the average number of days homes stay on the market has decreased. With my extensive network of connections within the community and within the real estate profession, I often know about homes that are coming on the market before they’re listed in the MLS.

To ensure you don’t get left out when a home meeting your needs comes up for sale, be sure to sign up for my Email Listing Notification, and call me when you’re ready to schedule a showing.
