Working with a buyer's agent in Whidbey Island?

Murphy
Home Buyer
Orange County, CA

We are about 1 year from retirement and currently living in Southern Calif. We are thinking about Whidbey Island for possible relocation as we visited it on vacation and found it charming. It is difficult for us to get away right now to travel and check out anything long term.

We would like to find a buyer's agent who might be able to educate us now on the Island and whether there are homes in our price range and style we are looking for. Then if we are comfortable with that person, working with them when we are ready to buy in a year.

We don't want to waste anyone's time, however, as we may end up in another location ultimately as we have a couple places in mind. Is a buyer's agent appropriate under those circumstances, if so, how do you find one?

Thanks!

Hello Murphy,

My name is Rob LeRoy. I am a buyer-centric agent based in Bellingham. I cover the areas between Seattle and the Canadian border, including Whidbey Island. I have spent time living in all three of these areas, and am well acquainted with all points in between. I actually graduated from high school in Langley, way back when... However, rather than try to sell you on my personal bio or resume, let's just start with this: Send me an e-mail (rfleroy@gmail.com) or call me (360.510.2230) and let me know a little bit more about your needs. Do you know which areas of the Island you'd like to look? Do you have a preliminary idea of your price range? Do you have specific needs or wants in regard to size, style, layout, or community setting?

With just a little bit of information I can put together a list of current listings to help you begin the education process. From there, we can have an ongoing discussion over the coming months to help you refine your goals. Hopefully, this will help you decide which direction to take, be it toward Whidbey or one of your other options. Either way, I'm certainly happy to help.

Have a great day!

Rob
