Whether you’re buying or selling, you’ll find that working with someone who has a passion for real estate will make your next transaction easier and more successful. Here’s why. IF YOU’RE BUYING You’ll make informed decisions - Take advantage of my local market knowledge and transaction expertise to make the right decisions for you and your family. I have personal and professional expertise in buying homes. Before I retired from the Navy, I made 12 moves in 21 years. That experience taught me a lot about real estate transactions! And, I’ve added to that knowledge as a full-time REALTOR® by helping other people buy their first home, move across town, relocate across the country, relocate with the military, or find that perfect second home. You’ll be personally represented – Would you go to court without an attorney? If you don’t have your own real estate representative, you’ll be in a similar situation during your purchase. Having earned the Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) designation, I’m in a perfect position to represent you as a buyer. When I work with you, I have a legal and ethical obligation to protect your best interest. Without a buyer representation relationship, an agent’s allegiance is split between the seller and buyer. Buyers often suffer as a result. IF YOU’RE SELLING You’ll get an exceptional marketing plan – In combination with Shorewest Realtors, which is the number one real estate brokerage firm in all Wisconsin, I can offer you a marketing plan that works. The plans I develop include 24/7/365 television exposure, personal marketing, print media advertising, Internet exposure with 35 syndication partners, displaying listings on over 300 Internet websites, and the list goes on. You’ll get your home sold fast and at an excellent value – On average, your home will be sold almost 3 weeks faster than others. The average time a home is on the market in Kenosha and Racine counties is 138 days; for my listings, the average is 112 days. On average, homes in the area are sold for 93.04% of the asking price; for my listings, the average is 96.8%. That means that on a $200,000 home sale, you’d walk away with a little over $6,000 more than you would if you worked with another REALTOR®. The numbers speak for themselves. The passion I have for real estate translates into a real sense of accomplishment when my clients complete transactions that satisfy their needs and desires with the least amount of stress possible. I know that each individual is as unique as a snowflake and needs professional assistance that provides the right combination of market knowledge, transaction expertise, education and guidance. When you’re ready to talk to a professional, I look forward to the opportunity to earn your business. Call me at 608-770-4568 or use the form below to send an email. You’ll see a big difference when you work with someone who has a passion for real estate! Pete O'Connor
