What Do Real Estate Agents Really DO?

We are The Goebel Team, working with Carolina Mountain Homes in Murphy, North Carolina.  We are Professional REALTORS®.  What do we do, you may ask?  In this week’s blog post, we would like to share some professional information with you about just one of the many things we do.  

A Buyer’s Agent – how we work for the home buyer

What is a buyer’s agent?  A buyer’s agent is a trusted guide who’ll help you find a home.  And more often than not, Mick and Jane Goebel also turn out to be a trusted friend that help you find a home.  At least, that’s the way it usually ends up happening around here!  And we are quite proud of that fact.  Here in Murphy, NC, Carolina Mountain Homes and especially at The Goebel Team, we pride ourselves in the fact that People Are Our Top Priority!  YOU, the home buyer, matter to us.  We do our very best to find a home that fits YOU and YOUR family.  We listen, take notes, talk to others, check all our resources and work, work, work, to find you your next home.  Here is a link to a more detailed description of how this process actually works.  See the outline below for a synopsis of the process and then click the link for the full article.  Also, be sure to click on the link to our website where you’ll find our current listings.

It's A Social Thing

It’s a Social Thing

Social media is a phenomenon that is here to stay!  Some of us have a love hate relationship with the Internet and Social media but there’s no denying that it has its place in our society.  That’s also true in Real Estate.  Here at The Goebel Team, we utilize everything at our disposal to get your home sold.  This week we want to introduce you to all the different ways we work to sell your home.  First up is Pinterest!  But what is Pinterest, you might ask?  It is a visual social media site where you can pin ideas, inspirations, information, videos and things you like on a virtual board and then share them with your followers. We look for and find Pins that can help you, the homeowner.  Pins can help you understand the buying or selling process, give you lists that can help you stay organized, or even show you new ways to landscape your yard to give it that needed curb appeal.  We also post our listings on Pinterest and share those pins on our Facebook page in order to get the word out – the more exposure, the better!  And in today’s world, Social Media plays a big part in Real Estate.  Make no mistake, we are also using all the traditional methods of selling your home but we have learned that it's necessary to keep up with the changing times and Pinterest and Facebook are all a part of those changing times in which we live in today.  So if you are not already on Pinterest, head on over and sign up today and start following us!  It’s easy and fun and we are sure you’ll find lots of interesting things, including Real Estate tips!  Be sure to click on the link to go take a look at The Goebel Team’s Pinterest!
