Our Current Buyer and Seller Clients

 | Comments Off

We take representation of our Seller and Buyer Clients very seriously. We work with only the most qualified buyers and sellers who are committed to working with us. In return, our Buyer Clients get our full attention and are assured that we’re focused on them and not willy-nilly grasping at getting more business that dilutes our efforts to serve them.

While many of our clients are already in contract, there are still some who need extra attention. Here is our latest postcard promoting our available listings and buyer clients who are not currently in contract yet. For them, the search continues!

As for our seller clients, we anticipate getting their properties in contract soon enough. We’ve sent out real estate e-newsletters (sign up here!) as well as postcards in addition to personal networking with other REALTOR professionals. We have a great reputation with other agents and are known to help them by suggesting what they can do to make their clients’ offers stronger. This also in turn helps our seller clients have the strongest offers to choose from, especially in this multiple-offer crazy real estate market…

Properties In a Trust: Why?

"He Said, She Said"

If anything happens to one of us, we’ll need a way to have our home “disposed of” if that is the choice of whichever one of us is still alive.

Says Trust Attorney Robert “Bob” Sakai, “If you get to a point where you can’t handle your financial affairs, will you need to sell your property to pay your bills?  If you have your property in a trust, your trustee, someone you picked because you can rely on them, will be able to sell your property and pay your
bills without having to go to court.”

Most of our business recently has been property held in trusts. Although the beneficiaries may be numerous, all that’s need is a specific person or persons to act on behalf of the trust and all the beneficiaries.

She Said:  ”While I don’t plan on leaving this world any time soon, if anything happens to me, I’d like for my husband to have free reign over our real estate without needing my signature or consent should I be incapacitated for any reason.”

He Said:  ”Well, thank you very much!  We have several trusted trust attorneys (no pun intended!) we can refer folks to if the need should arise.”

Do YOU have your properties in a trust?
