Homebuying, you have questions and Troy has answer - Clint Hargrave (Sep 11, 2009)
Clint Hargrave bought a home and would recommend using Troy for your home purchase.

"When buying a home, especially as a first time homebuyer you tend to..." Read More

Response: "Clint and his wife contacted me, then spoke to a family member who gave them the impression that with the new financial regulations, their were no "no-money down" options available anymore. I set them up with a USDA Rural Development Loan with the sellers paying the closing costs. They brought $2 to the closing table. Now they live in great home in a small community outside of Springfield. Don't assume you can't purchase a home. Contact me so we can go over all of your options."

What year did you become a real estate agent?
2004

How many years have you been in Real Estate?
5 years

What is the average home price in your market?
As of 8/1/09, $123,000 according to the Capital Area Assoc of Realtors.

Are there any new developments or trends in your area?
There is a major increase in first-time home buyer activity! The $8k tax credit is bringing buyers off the fence. If you have a quality home is the $80-120k price range, call me! Many homes are selling in just a few days.

Why do you enjoy being a real estate agent?
Calling a client to tell them their offer was accepted is worth the 60 hours a week doing this job.

What is the most challenging issue you face as a Real Estate Professional?
Finding time to have a decent meal! Buyers and Sellers tend to be available during meal times. I have to be available when they are. I'm getting tired of fast food!

Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
I had clients a couple years ago who they wanted to sell their home. Against my opinion, they insisted on pricing their home with some "wiggle room" so they could have some room to negotiate a price. Well, after 6 months and 54 showings, we had 0 offers. They were dumbstruck. "Why have we not had one offer?" they asked. I explained to them that even a $5k inflation in offer price can detract buyers from considering their home. Several months later, after the couple did some of their own research into home values, they decided to re-list their house with me. We listed it for the price I thought the house would see for. Two days later we had multiple offers, and sold the house over list price. When I presented the offers to the couple, the husband exclaimed "Wow! That's more than I expected to sell it for last year!"

What is your best characteristic?
Getting houses sold for top dollar.

Who or what inspires you the most?
My family (wife, 5 yr old son and 1 yr old daughter.)

What is the best advice you ever received?
"Have a Great Day!"

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Honestly... I love where I live.
