Your Trusted Real Estate Advisors: Honesty, Transparency, and Commitment

By Travis Bard

We have a simple goal - impact the lives of our clients and change the lives of our agent partners. The PLACE.com business platform allows us to do both and we could not be more excited about the future.

Today, I want to emphasize my team’s commitment to you by sharing a recent encounter I had with a homeseller.

A while ago, a friend and former client of mine reached out for information regarding his home. He was contacted not only by me but also by someone else in the industry, and they provided significantly different numbers and prices for his property. While I won’t speculate on their intentions, I want to discuss our approach in this business.

Our approach, and my personal commitment to you, is rooted in honesty and providing straightforward information based on the current market conditions. In the real estate industry, there are various ways to approach these situations, but I firmly believe that providing accurate and market-based information is paramount.

In today’s challenging market, many people seek information that aligns with their emotions and desired outcomes. However, it’s crucial to understand that what you want to hear may not always be the most accurate or beneficial information for you.

My commitment to you is simple: I will provide you with candid information, whether it aligns with your expectations or not. My team shares this commitment. We are here to help you make informed decisions based on market realities, even if it contradicts what you may have heard from others.

While there are algorithms and systems that offer pricing and valuation information for homes, these can sometimes set unrealistic expectations. The most reliable information comes from experienced professionals like myself, with over 23 years in the real estate industry, and my team, whom I’ve trained to understand the market’s dynamics.

I’ve weathered three significant market cycles in real estate and five in my professional career, which included banking and real estate-related banking. When we provide information that you may not want to hear, rest assured it comes from a place of honesty, transparency, and our unwavering commitment to assisting you in making the best decisions.

If you ever need assistance or have questions about your real estate goals, call or email me. I’m happy to share my insider knowledge with you.
