Windermere Real Estate dominates on Bainbridge Island~

I've just received the latest statistics showing market share on Bainbridge Island. My office, Windermere Real Estate/Bainbridge Island, Inc., has always dominated our market with solid, experienced, full-time professionals.

The new numbers show that the gap between our office and our nearest competitors is widening. In the month of January, the agents in our office were responsible for 42.9% of all closed sales in total dollar amount and for 42% of all units sold, including all types of properties on Bainbridge Island.

Why does this matter to someone looking for an agent? Because the current market is a tough place to be doing business. Sellers need an experienced, well-trained agent who can price their properties competitively, with full preparation and staging, and compelling marketing. Buyers need an agent who is on top of the market values, the latest legal developments, and who can make sure the financing and inspection procedures are properly completed and that the oversight of all terms of the contract are meticulously adheared to.

When an experienced agent performs these functions well, with strong relationship of trust with the client, the transactions will close and properties get sold. This is no time for trial and error.
