If you are Buying or Selling-What Really Matters?

Everyone knows that real estate agents are plentiful. True enough, nearly anyone can put a sign in a yard and toss a listing onto the MLS and pray to the gods that it all works out.

So, whether you are trying to sell an existing home or whether you are looking to buy, what really matters when selecting a real estate professional? Answer: Experience and Effort.

With respect to EXPERIENCE, whether buying or selling, you need to know the proverbial “inside scoop” on not only the property you’re looking at or needing to sell, but also the back story regarding the particulars of the general area and even the specific neighborhoods and you need to know how and why properties that are seemingly so similar in appearance can carry vastly different price tags. Like most things in life, real estate is subject to trends. Trends apply to not only the broader market, but also to specific neighborhoods and areas. Some can be on the way up, while others are on the way down. By virtue of having sold real estate in Pinellas County for over two and a half decades, I have acquired a knowledge base that can be quite valuable to any serious buyer or seller. After all, when you are buying or selling a home, you are not simply purchasing shelter for you and your family, you are seeking to do so in a way that provides you with the best chance of value retention. Knowing when and what to get into and when to get out, can only be achieved with proper guidance and such guidance only comes with experience.

The corollary to experience is EFFORT. Whether buying or selling, effort counts. The purchase/sale of a home can and should be a rewarding experience. However, without the requisite experience and effort, it can often be a frustrating one and such need not be the case. As mentioned above, anyone with a real estate license can put a sign in the yard for a seller or send a would-be buyer automatic searches from various web based sources. However, more often than not, such low energy approaches rely more on random chance or “dumb luck” and frustrations quickly mount. After 25 years of being an active real estate broker, I have witnessed buyers and sellers become frustrated due to bad advice and agents who foster unrealistic expectations simply to “earn your business”. Unlike many agents/brokers, I interview my potential clients extensively prior to seeking any formal engagement. I want happy buyers and grateful sellers and putting out the right kind of effort, from day one, sets the stage for success. Frankly, I have no interest in unreasonable sellers nor do I have any interest in unreasonable buyers. From the outset of meeting any serious buyer or seller, I focus the discussion on what matters the most, their goals, in comparison to market realities. For a rewarding real estate experience, I need to understand your needs and desires while doing my best to educate you regarding the prevailing market trends so that you know exactly what to expect and so that you have the proverbial inside scoop. By obtaining the inside scoop, buyers will avoid spending countless hours driving to see properties that you do not want and sellers will avoid the months of anxiety that come along with holding costs of a house that simply isn’t selling.   

My name is Rania Bahdouchi[1] and if you're serious about buying or selling, let me get to work on providing you with the inside scoop. Real estate, with the right guidance, can and should be both fun and rewarding. It can also be a great wealth insulator and creator. Experience and Effort, there is no substitute.

I have known Rania for a long time and at this point I consider her a friend. She has helped me buy two properties in the past 20 years and made it really easy and without any problems. Now she just helped me sell one of them in a record time when properties have been sitting on the market for a long time. Her knowledge, skill and dedication to the customer is what sets her apart from most other competitors out there in the market. If you need a professional to help you buy or sell a property, she is your best choice.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First Rate Agent Who Will Work Hard for You!

Rania came highly recommended and now we know why!  She has an incredible industry and market knowledge base. She communicated effectively throughout our condo sale process, listening to our concerns and wishes, providing savvy advise and effective marketing.  Offers were presented verbally and in an organized written fashion that helped us make the most advantageous choice. She was always available for updates and bent over backwards to help us in the sale and moving process. We couldn't be happier about our experience with such an accomplished and sincere broker/agent.

Working with Rania to find our home was such a wonderful experience. She treated the search as if she was searching for her own home, and truly listened to every once in need that we had.

I have told several friends and family members about Rania, and I know they all share the same wonderful experience that we had

Rania went above and beyond when it came to helping my family find our forever home. She very thoroughly went through what we were looking for and found us a beautiful home in the price range we were hoping for. She went to every showing with me and helped explain things in a way that I would understand since I am new to buying homes, and she even helped me with my kids while we were in showings. I can honestly not say enough good things about my experience working with Rania.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My wife and I contacted Rania as soon as we decided to list our house. Her excellent reputation as a real estate agent was the main factor for our decision. Rania is the consummate professional who is very hard-working, detail-oriented and very knowledgeable. She provided a well-planned step by step process for listing and selling our house. We had several meetings to develop a plan and establish a workable timeline. As issues or concerns arose Rania competently address those in a timely manner. She also guided us through the negotiation process with expertise, well developed strategies and needed support. The bottom line is we sold our house within the timeline and we couldn't ask for a better agent. Thank you Rania!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rania is wonderful!

Rania truly made buying a house for us so easy! She took the time to get to know us personally and listened to our wants and needs. She is kind, patient and an amazing person all around. She made recommendations based on things we told her like a big yard for our pets or spare bedrooms for visitors and a safe neighborhood was a must. She found a perfect home for us and got us a deal (considering todays market!) Rania is considered like a mom to us with the way she treated us. This was our first home buying experience and I would use her again and highly recommend her to any friends or family members in need of a realtor.

Peter Sims- Satisfied Buyer

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rania is a remarkably knowledgeable and professional realtor. High energy, for sure!

We have now used Rania’s services to both buy and sell rental and primary residences for us.  Over the years, we have had some challenging transactions; dealing with an unscrupulous HOA board comes top of mine. However, Rania’s knack for making things happen and getting us across the finish line has been the one thing we can always count on.  Furthermore, Rania’s knowledge of the real estate market has allowed us to make smart financial moves throughout the years.  Plus, our four-legged friend absolutely loves Rania.

Janie Godwin- Satisfied Seller

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Performer

Rania has exceeded all my expectations. Her knowledge has impressed me and made me feel confident in our decision to trust her with our home.

Mike Schoeppner-Satisfied Seller

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Best!

When you research what to look for in a realtor and the advantages of having a buyer's agent, experts advise finding one that has knowledge and experience to help you navigate local market conditions, will act as an advocate for the buyer during the entire home buying process, will actively negotiates on behalf of the buyer, prepare necessary forms and written offers, assist in procuring property inspections - including advice regarding necessary improvements and repairs, and is open and honest - well, Rania hits all these marks.

We knew we were in good hands from the minute we met Rania - and couldn't be more pleased as a new home owner with the process. Highly recommend her if you are buying - or selling. We would give 10 stars if we could.

Jake Suggs- Satisfied Buyer

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  Very Happy First Time Homeowners!

I write this review as my husband and I enjoy sipping coffee on our back patio, as first-time homeowners. As long term renters from another state, we had no idea where to start. Luckily a family friend knew we wanted to relocate and referred Rania to us. The first time we spoke with her, we felt at ease and knew we had not only a knowledgeable agent, but one that listened to our preferences, and would work above and beyond - educating us on homeownership, home construction, schools, neighborhoods, zoning, etc.

 With the hot market in 2020, we started touring homes while still out of state, having virtual tours with Rania, who took her time to point out details we may not have noticed via a phone screen. We took the plunge and decided to head to Tampa Bay before finding "our home" and Rania continued to dedicate herself to helping us - reassuring us along the ups and downs of multiple offers - that when we find the right home, it’ll all work out. As difficult as it was to hear this advice at times, she was right.

 We recently closed on a home that ticked all our boxes, with our must haves and even wish list items, within budget, and in the location we desired. But her services did not stop there. Rania walked us through the entire closing process, step-by-step, answering questions, offering assurance, and making helpful recommendations post move-in. On closing day, I am happy to announce she was our first guest. I will be forever grateful for Rania’s knowledge and work ethic. If not for her, I cannot imagine that we would be where we are today and look forward to recommending her to others who have the same dream of homeownership.
