Matt, I would also like to recommend Cyndee and Jack Haydon as buyer's agents in that area--I've worked closely with Cyndee in the past and find her to be responsive, knowledgeable, helpful...and just really darned nice!

Good Morning Matt,

Isn't it great to see that there are a lot of us agents out here who are responsive and care?! Give us a call when you're ready so we can surprise you by not only answering the phone but by always promptly returning your calls.

If we don't hear from you today, have yourself a fabulous day.

Regards,

Julia

I'll spare you the "spiel" but will promise you that you'll never have any problem ever with me not being responsive. Here's a link to the page of my website with comments from clients I've worked wih. I'll be more than happy to put you in touch with anyone on the list that you'd like to talk with.

Hello Matt,

I would be happy to work with you. I am an Exclusive Buyer Agent so I never represent a seller or have a conflict of interest. I have lived in the Clearwater area since 2001 and have sold over 60 homes in the area.
I am a Broker and member of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents. Please visit my website at http://BuyersOnlyLighthouse.com for additional information.

Hello Matt,
I'd be more than happy to work with you to find that special home. Please free to set up your free personal home search. You can select your own criteria and take a look at what's available. Then, we can sit down and discuss your needs and wants, review all the details involved in the home buying process and you can decide if we'd make a good team to find you that special home. Hope to hear from you soon!

Matt,

It is disappointing that you have made an attempts but had no responses. There are many great agents in our location. Keep trying.........

The right agent and home is waiting for you.

Good luck,
The "Eckler Team"

One of the most important services I provide is communication. My clients know that I answer my phone, return calls & emails promptly unless I am with another client. They all know I silence my phone when I'm with clients and then return the calls after the meeting. This allows me to devote my full attention to each individual I work with. In addition, sellers receive weekly updates; buyers receive daily updates.
When choosing a realtor, I think it's important to ask them how they work. Do they have systems in place to keep you informed? After you've given them your information, can they present you with a plan of action to help you achieve your goals? If you have called or emailed 2 realtors and not received a reply by end of day, move on to another realtor. Perhaps the 2 here on Trulia who have taken the time to reply to your question.
Keep the faith! There is a conscientious realtor in your area that you will enjoy working with.

Matt -
We are a husband and wife team and we specialize in helping buyers - we find it helps when people like you share their experience in working with us... I have included a link to some of our client video testimonials and our blog - we specialize in Clearwater and Dunedin and would love the opportunity to find out how we could best help you.

Good luck in your search - we're happy to help and there's never any pressure! Check us out.

Hi Matt,

We specialize in west Clearwater, west Dunedin, and West Palm Harbor real estate, and go the extra mile in everything we do for our clients and soon-to-be friends. It's late and we're a tad delerious now, so please forgive me for not making this too lengthy .... at least for tonight.

You're correct, there are lots of agents to chose from, it can be dizzying. Foremost, in the current real estate market you want to be sure that you have an agent that works full time in the business. There are only 6200 agents active with the Pinellas Board of Realtors, down from about 13,000 a couple of years ago, and I'd venture to guess that many of them have part time jobs at Starbucks. You ant somebody who's business is thriving and can help you navigate a great opportunity for a new home.

It's important to find somebody that regularly participates in continuing education, is proficient in negotiating short sales and foreclosures in Pinellas County, is current with financing trends with FHA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and 1st time homebuyer programs in Tampa Bay, and, frankly, will take the time to get to know you, your needs, your situation, your dreams and what makes you smile - while looking out for your wallet. And the purchase price you pay for the home is only the beginning - there are so many other contract contigencies that can bite you if you don't have somebody current with contracts and trends protecting your best interests.

There are tremendous home opportunities right now in West Clearwater/Dunedin. Were you thinking of a single family home, town home or condo? Would you like to discuss the benefits of working with Realtors who believe so much in their business that they respond to Trulia questions at 12:58 PM on a Saturday night?

We make clients ridiculously happy, and would like to do the same for you. By the way, we have great references that would be glad to speak with you firsthand.

Feel free to give me a call ... tomorrow. (time to catch some Zzzz's).

Regards,

Julia
