Security Pacific

So I know you are asking yourself about now…
«Just who does Dorothy C recommend as a realtor???»
And the answer would be…
DRUM ROLL, Pleeeeeeeeeeze…
JOE CASTNER at Security Pacific.
And of course, the question would be… why???
Answer:
Because we buy ‘n sell a lot of real property in my family.
Different counties. Different states. Maybe even different countries. (That would be for me to know and you to guess.)
And we never forget good Realtors. Or bad Realtors.
*Joe Castner is one of the best.*
Joe helped us sell a place in Walnut Creek a couple of years ago.
The place was a squeaky clean, nice condo in a nice area of town. Should have sold in a week or two. But it didn’t…wasn’t what people were looking for at that particular time.
So this is what Joe did:
1)He set the price reasonably.
2)Marketed it thoroughly but made no extravagant claims about its «rentability.»
3)Held open houses but encouraged us to stage it ourselves. (He thought our taste was perfect for the place… and we appreciated being involved in the process as it made us feel as though we were helping toward its sale. I did simple seasonal decorations.)
4) Consulted with us regularily and professionally.
5) Networked throughout the Walnut Creek real estate community and among his associates.
6) Brought us all offers, and worked with us to decide which one would be the best for our situation.
7) Maintained a professional but friendly stance with all the neighbors, visitors and those who were merely «looking.» And kept nearby owners and the condo association happy… by understanding *their* issues while respecting his fiduciary responsibility to us.
8) Got us a nice tidy sum for the place with a buyer who was quite happy with the purchase.
9) Saw us through the whole process and was available without fail whenever we called. And kept us quite secure that we had made the right choice.
That’s the story. Should be like that with every real estate person. Every time. I’ll let you fill in the blanks…
JOE CASTNER HAS OUR VOTE. And we know real estate. You can trust me on this.
