I am an investor that doesn't need hand holding. I'm looking for an agent that is willing to refund some of the commission in return for my business. I heard Redfin refunds up to 50%, but I prefer someone local with experience working with investors along with short-sales and REOs. Thank you.

Thanks Don and Kary. Yes, investors are my passion. If I'm not a good fit I have a great list of contacts.

Don, if you believe that negotiation is "pitiful", you're giving many real estate agents a black eye. All commission is negotiable (or rebate-able, within the confines of state law).

I'm disappointed in you Bradley. As an investor you must consider yourself a professional. Asking hard working agents to engage in online begging for such a pitiful offer from you really rubs me the wrong way. If you believe 1% of the purchase price should make a difference in who represents you you are certainly going to fail. The right agent will save you ten times that much just with proper negotiating on the buying end and you can't lose sight of their value when you sell. Why don't you go to Arizona, Bradley? I think you could have even more of your brand of fun down there.

Bradley,

In this market, there are many struggling agents. I'm sure you are going to get several offers to negotiate commissions with you. I also would be willing to discuss it.

I hope that in this search for an agent that will give back some of their earnings, you don't end up getting someone that isn't going to truly look out for your best interests.

With that said, I do live in the Puyallup area. I've actually lived in Orting for 12 years and know Puyallup very well. I am a very experienced agent that takes great pride in a job well done! I'm experienced in short sales and REO's as well as other specialties. I've been a Realtor® for the past 5 plus years. I've received several awards for my service. I love my job and helping people. I keep myself educated on the ever changing market conditions.

I will try to make the home buying process as stress free and enjoyable as possible. It is a great thing to hear my clients tell their friends that buying their home "was easy" and they had a good time touring with me. That means I've done my job and handled many things behind the scenes and have made them comfortable.

If you'd like to get to know a bit about me, one way is to get on our team website.
http://lisasteamsellshomes.com/ Click on the "Meet the team" link and My bio is at the bottom (Julile O'Brien). Feel free to browse around the website for more information about myself and my team. In addition to the team agents; we also have two assistants that do some of the "behind the scenes" paperwork, flyers, searches, etc. That allows me up to be able to spend more one on one time with my clients. Give them the attention they deserve.

Another good way to find information on me is to Google my phone number. 253-312-7811. You may be surprised at the information that comes up.

If what you've read about me sounds like it would be a good agent match for you, please contact me and we can discuss things further. I look forward to working with you and earning your business.
