What is a SOUNDING BOARD? Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

It’s not a commitment, it’s not expensive, it’s not real estate fluff. A Sounding Board is a conversation, no frills, ad hoc (as you need), prepaid. A chat with an independent, experienced, real estate expert

A SOUNDING BOARD is being able to run an idea, a problem, an opinion, bouncing concepts off an experienced, knowledgeable, independent real estate agent. Gaining feedback, fresh perspectives, an indication of your ideas having merit, are they practical, getting clarity before you act

The benefit of hindsight, reviewing your answer to a previous conversation, and coming up with a better response. We all do it. The problem with hindsight in real estate is the better response is often too late, the price has been negotiated, the terms set, and the contract signed, perhaps the house missed out on. A SOUNDING BOARD gives you clarity, the opportunity to have the conversations, to sound things out, try the responses, and see the scenarios BEFORE you need them

A SOUNDING BOARD is created for the inexperienced, the buyer or seller who has never bought (or sold), or it was a long time ago, or when you had a partner to run things by, to discuss, or just when you want some clarity about a real estate decision that you have to make. 
Home Buyers, Home Sellers, those thinking about real estate who are inexperienced, lack confidence, real estate skills, who want the information before proceeding, who lack time to do the research themselves

Up to 45 minutes of conversation that gives you clarity, a path, a solution, confirmation, consideration, compassion.

a sounding board story

The Story of Brad and Janet

Buying your first home when you are in your 50’s is daunting. When you are at an age where you are confident, have been on your career journey for decades, and life is pretty much organised.

Your occupation has provided housing. The reality of RETIREMENT is looming, and with that the reality that you will need a home of your own.

An investment property that can become your own home? A home that you love or a practical home? Finding both requires time, knowledge, and attention.

Confidentiality is paramount.

Having someone you can rely on for expert guidance

Not an extended commitment just a conversation when you get time and space.

The SOUNDING BOARD worked out perfectly for Brad and Janet.

Ongoing assistance as and when they needed

“Thank you for your patience, and guidance. We got there in the end. Our forever home (one day)..”
