family with school-aged children, even though the house might meet their other criteria. A bachelor may not be interested in living near children, even though a two-story home with a garage is what he’s looking for. By design, websites should direct buyers to homes that meet their lifestyle, thus eliminating uninterested shoppers. My husband loves to tease me in a loving way by singing a little jingle he made up about my “unique ability”, matching a buyer with a home. One of the ways I find buyers is by calling the list of buyers and agents that showed an interest in homes that I have previously sold. I go through lists of people I have met at open houses. I’ve mastered this matchmaking skill through years of interactions with people who want to buy houses. Having depth of knowledge about prospective buyers' needs lets me alert them when a potential home becomes available. It is the relationships I’ve developed with people in the Augusta area, as well as my command of housing data that helps me to efficiently find homes for my buyers. I’ve spent many years developing this knack!
