expertise matters: now, more than ever
Real estate leaders say that teachers make the best real estate agents: we are naturally empathetic, used to managing stress, are superior listeners, excellent communicators, skilled negotiators, and exhibit a remarkable commitment to hard work.
As a former local middle school science teacher, I've become passionate about being the Bainbridge Island Realtor known for empowering my clients; Islanders know me to be a patient, careful listener, who remains poised under pressure and will listen to and understand your needs so I can provide you with the most comprehensive and reliable perspectives, thus enabling you to make well-educated decisions. My passion lies in guiding clients through the complex process of buying and selling property with balance of both head and heart where the needs of clients and properties are never the same, yet always come first.
In fact, my first testimonial was from a couple that were both BISD Administrators, and they said "Jason is perfect for real estate because he understands people and how to help them through difficult situations."
For sellers, I bring the best marketing plan, skilled guidance for pricing and the project management expertise to prepare your home for a smooth transaction. And for buyers, I will scrutinize every property so you are aware of all the bad and ugly, along with the good, before considering writing an offer. As I celebrate 10 years in business and about 150 closed sales, my original tagline, Turning the Art of Real Estate Into a Science, has been updated to reflect not only what consumers need from the industry at this time, but also what I bring your kitchen table:
Expertise Matters: Now, More Than Ever
