He’s a Great Negotiator
Christian is always working for you and in your best interest. Since he is so proud of his reputation, and knows that his reputation creates so many repeat clients and recommendations by their friends, he has a vested interest in making sure you get the best deal. He knows that in 10 years (or whenever you sell your home), you’re going to call him. If he sold you a crappy house, or sold you a good house but at an inflated price to make a quick sale, his job of selling your house down the road will be much, much harder for him (and potentially stop you from being able to sell). He’s all about getting the best deal, while also finding a way to make it a “Win-Win” transaction that both you and the seller are happy with.
He’s All About Education
He filmed a step-by-step video series walking you through the Seattle home buying process, from the “maybe we should buy a house” stage, to getting the keys to your new home. This isn’t just for first time homebuyers either. Even if you’ve purchased a house a time or two, this will be a great refresher for you (and probably educate you on new changes in the process over the years).
He’s Not Pushy
Christian works on your time frame. He’ll educate you along the way on both the process of buying the house, as well at what you get for your money in different neighborhoods. He’ll never push you or pressure you into buying, and more often that not he’ll probably talk you out of buying a few houses along the way (since he goes to every home inspection, he’s learned to look for “red flags” in homes so you don’t buy a lemon).
Listens to What you Want
Have you ever talked to a salesperson, told them exactly what you’re looking for, and then have them show you something that is completely different than what you just asked for? Yeah, Christian has too. He’s had numerous clients come work with him after first working with another real estate agent that just wouldn’t listen to what they wanted. Usually, the first time you ever meet up with Christian, he’ll buy you a coffee or beer and sit and listen to your wants, needs, and dislikes before you ever go out looking at houses. He’ll help you refine what it is you’re looking for, and with his knowledge of the local real estate market, he’ll be able to quickly tell you if what you’re looking for is realistic or not.
He Knows the Market Conditions and what it Takes to Get You The House You Want
Being a full time, hit the pavement everyday, real estate agent since January, 2005, Christian has been through the ups and downs of the real estate market (and survived to talk about it). He’s seen the good times, and the bad times. Whether it’s currently a hot Seller’s market, or a hot Buyer’s market, you need to have an agent with the right “tools” to get you want you want. Christian’s numerous transactions, experience from buying and selling numerous homes for himself, and the extremely talented and knowledgeable agents that he works with at Wilson Realty Exchange, have created a large “bag-O’-tricks” that he can dig into depending on your situation. If he hits a roadblock, or thinks he should get a second or third opinion on what to do during a negotiation to get you the best deal, he has ten 20+ year real estate veterans that he can lean on. Not many real estate agents can say that. Most work with a ton of newer agents, and a few veteran agents (that are generally pretty cutthroat and play their cards close to the chest). That’s part of the reason why Christian doesn’t work for some big fancy office, and instead works at a small, independent office with long tenured agents that are open and happy to share their knowledge.
Seattle Neighborhood Expert
As a born and raised Seattleite who has driven around it more than most can say, goes out to eat too often, and likes to drink coffee and beer, Christian is the perfect person to help you figure out what neighborhood is right for you and your lifestyle. And since he loves educating clients, he created video tours of many of the top Seattle neighborhoods so to help you make a more informed decision on where to live.
