There is no denying that when it comes to buying a home in today’s frenzied real estate market, using every tool at your disposal can mean the difference between the sure victory of winning the home of your dreams or sudden defeat and suffering one heartbreaking loss after another. Whether you are buying or selling, arguably one of the most important tools to have in your arsenal is a top-notch real estate professional.
One of the best in the business is Lisa Cronic, a top agent for Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International. While she is known for her experience, warmth, passion and energy, what really sets her apart is her unrelenting commitment to her clients. Sounds like marketing hype, right? For some real estate professionals, it is, but for Lisa, taking a client-focused approach to her work goes beyond buzzwords – it is the foundation upon which she has built her career. A native New Englander, Lisa graduated from Syracuse University with degrees in business and communications, which she put to quick use in advertising sales. After years of successfully meeting clients’ needs and being enamored with the detail-oriented, relationship-driven aspects of the job, she parlayed her talents into a successful real estate career and hasn’t looked back.
If you are considering buying a new home or plan to sell an existing home, put yourself in the best position possible by finding a real estate professional with proven experience and a long list of happy customers. With so many self-proclaimed “experts” out there, this can be easier said than done. So we asked Lisa for her advice on what to look for and this is what she had to share: “It comes down to clients’ needs and how well an agent is able to meet them. An agent can tout all the experience and expertise in the world, but if they do not have a bevy of satisfied clients that can back up those claims, you may want to keep looking. Do not be afraid to ask for a list of past clients that you can speak to. That is one of the best ways to find out what an agent is really like to work with and whether they have what it takes to meet your specific needs.”
We decided to put Lisa’s advice to the test by seeing what her own clients had to say about working with her!
• “Lisa Cronic exceeded all our expectations as our agent in an extremely crazy market. Lisa helped us sell AND buy, and along the way, gave us excellent advice that never steered us wrong. Lisa knows what’s needed to get a house ready to sell (and to sell well over the asking price). Also, in a seller’s market, Lisa is creative and also knows what it takes to make an offer stick. Lisa is also well connected in the real estate world, which comes in handy. Home buying (and selling) can be an emotional process, and Lisa was so great at helping us work through these processes – we felt like she always had our interests at heart. In short, we highly HIGHLY recommend Lisa!”
• “Lisa worked with us for two years to help us find the right house for our family. In addition to being patient, she’s highly intelligent, resourceful and has extensive knowledge of the area. She got us in to see several houses before they even hit the market. It’s been a month since we closed, and she’s still providing us with valuable contacts and resources to help us with our new home. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!”
For Lisa, this is just the tip of the iceberg. She has hundreds of satisfied clients and is a wonderful example of how important it is to have the right real estate professional by your side to help tackle today’s highly competitive market. While Lisa has helped clients buy and sell homes all over Metro Atlanta, she specializes in Decatur, Druid Hills, Morningside, Virginia-Highland, Midtown, Candler Park, Lake Claire, Inman Park, North Decatur/Oak Grove and surrounding Intown areas. Contact her today to learn how she can help you meet your real estate goals and succeed in today’s housing market.
