Buying or Selling from Afar

By Sean Patrick O'Feery, June 18, 2019

I find myself closing on another deal for clients that have purchased a home when they don’t live in Portland yet. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time, that I  help a client buy or sell a home from out of town. I want to be an ambassador to this great city I call home. I welcome fine folks from all over to become home owners and get down with the good times here in Portland and sometimes, sadly, life takes you away from this beautiful city.

The relationships I develop with my clients are so important to me and I think the trust created in that relationship helps people feel comfortable with making decisions from afar.

What do I do to build that trust with a client?
1. I’m brutally honest: If there is a concern, I’ll voice it.
2. I don’t try to sell anyone a home they don’t want, it doesn’t work so I just don’t even try.
3. Service is job one, if you want to Skype or FaceTime through a home or a meeting let’s get it scheduled.
4. One of my core values is getting good value for my clients. Knowing neighborhoods and tracking sale prices is a must for me.

Here is a recent review from a client who sold their Portland home after they had moved back to the Bay Area:

“Sean sold our house while we were out of town!!! Because we hired him. He’s the most professional friendly person you could ask for. And he went beyond the call of duty getting our house ready to sell. We got over the asking price and could not be happier.”
