Relocation Realtor Recommendation?? (Tulsa, Welling, Keys: short sales, real estate, foreclosures)

[travlingrlclt]

Can someone PM me a good relocation realtor. Someone who is very experienced,laid back and not pushy, works mostly with S. Tusla (looking for houses $350-$500) and knows a lot about all the private schools and can send us information.

THanks!!

I can help! I am a seasoned Realtor that loves my job and makes it a great experience for all my clients! I am easy going expect when it comes to negotiating-- then I usually get what I want for my Buyers!! If you want to live in South Tulsa Holland Hall is THE private school for you. Just off hand I can recall some great foreclosures in Wind River and Wellington which would not only be fantastic to live in but at the prices they are at-- wonderful investments! If you've found someone already, good luck, if not, i'd love to hear from you! Thanks, and Welcome to Tulsa!!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Okie GF.

For the OP. Unfortunately, as an appraiser I am not that involved in the sales end of things, although I do have a sales license, I doubt I sell one property a year. Find a good Realtor....one who is interested in your desires and not the need to impose their ideas of what is nice on you. Both of you need to be on the same page. I know this is hard to do long distance, but if you can find someone to work with that understands what you want and need it wil be an easy search.

There are a lot of short sales and REO's although they have not impacted the market much. Do not expect homes to be discounted much from what they were over the past few years. Much of Tulsa appears to have maintained a consistent growth in value in the 4% range throughout the inflation/deflation bubbles found in other ares. This means you will not likely get a great deal on a conventionally offered house, but if and when you sell, you should not lose money.

What I can do, is find you an honest home inspector, if you want.

And if you want an honest evaluation of the value of the property we can do that. Just don't be afraid to hear the truth. My interest is to represent the house as honestly and accurately as possible. I don't gloss over and I don't take shortcuts.

cristybise sounds good, but like I said, I don't know the Realtors all that well. I do know that Chenowith and Cohen have, over the past few years, developed an excellent reputation. The few Realtors I have worked with from there have been VERY professional and appeared to be knowledgeable (I do not do a lot of mortgage loan appraisals). One point in favor of their staff......they have never tried to influence me when I was doing an appraisal. That, to me, is one mark of a true professional. If the Realtor is working for the buyer, they want as honest an opinion of value as possible. They know that it is the market that decides what that value is and that all I do is report it to the best of my ability.

I have a 4,895 sq. ft home on Lake Keystone. It's 1.5 lakefront acres on a Corps approved dockable cove.

Four bedrooms, 2 full/2 half baths, formal living and dining, huge kitchen and a master bedroom/bath/closet to die for!

Husband has been transferred to Philly and is having to travel way too much for my taste!

As much as I hate to leave this house, I'd much rather be with my husband!

The Keystone house sounds fantastic, is it listed? i'd like to see pics- i may have some clients interested! My little boys have all taken their first steps on the beaches of houseboat island- we just live at Keystone during the summer! I heard Philly has a great culture to it! Hey Goodpasture- which home inspector are you referring too? i'd like his info if possible, and yours, i've got some houses under contract and i'd love to send you some apprisal business if you're taking new clients, and I have to agree my brokerage is wonderful! I have a deep respect for Sheryl (Chinowth) and Lee (Cohen), they are fantastic business partners. And to travlingrlcrt- i've really been enjoying getting to know your family, your little one sounds so sweet- i'm still doing some research on competitive preschools, it's amazing how different they are (less competitive/curriculum based) then your current location! You guys have a great day- IM Loving this Tulsa weather!!!
