Colleen Milner Realtor, SRES, CNE, RRS
In today's real estate market, you need a realtor with real experience.
I have been a full time Realtor since 1994, a multi-million-dollar producer, a member of the Champions Club, Lorain County Board of Realtors, Ohio Association of Realtors, and National Association of Realtors. I have earned many designations over the years including Senior Real Estate Specialist, Certified Negotiation Expert and Residential Relocation Specialist. I have been married to my husband Brett since 1992. We have three adult children, Matthew, Kyle and Lauren. I am a second-generation Realtor.
As a full time Realtor with 30 years of experience, I possess the tools to guide you through this important process. Selling or buying a home is one of the largest, if not THE largest, financial and emotional decision that you will make in your lifetime. For something this important, you simply can't afford to settle for an agent who has less than great understanding, knowledge, and experience in the market. My knowledge in sales, negotiating, and marketing, combined with Howard Hanna's award-winning website, market share, unique programs, and technology, guarantees you will have everything you need to full fill your real estate dreams. You need me on your side when making such an important decision.
I am a driven, focused, goal-oriented person. I take pride in serving my clients personally and professionally as individual people with individual needs. I am committed to providing the ultimate customer service to my clients, both buyers & sellers. Communication is a priority so they always feel like they know what to expect in every step of the process. I provide patience and understanding for buyers and sellers and carefully walk them through the entire process. My service to my clients does not end when the transaction closes. I become a friend and realtor for life. Check out my website to see why my clients keep coming back and referring me to family and friends.
- Fewer Showings ~ Yes there are fewer buyers, but those buyers that are left are usually very serious about making a purchase. You may have fewer showings but great prospects!
- Less Competition ~ Most people wait until spring and summer to list their home, which means during the winter you will have far less competition than any other time of the year.
- Homes Show Better During the Holiday ~ Buyers love homes that can tell a story. The holidays are a great time to show homes because the home is usually dressed up for the holiday season.
- January is the Biggest Transfer Month ~ Did you know that more corporate moves happen during January than any other time of the year? This may be a great reason to list you home during the holiday season!
- Timing ~ By putting the home on the market during the winter you may be able to more easily hit your moving goals.
- More Time to Get Top Dollar ~ By starting to market your home early you may be able to secure a higher price.
- Great Time to Shop ~ If your home sells quickly you will be able to shop for your next home during the winter. This is a great time to find a bargain.
- More Advertising ~ Because most agents and offices have less inventory during the winter, your home may be advertised more often than during the spring and summer months!
- More Attention ~ Most agents will be able to devote more specialized attention to your needs during the winter because they have less clients to manage.
- The Market ~ Today’s interest rates are at forty-year lows. This gives buyers more spending power, and will be even more important when you begin shopping for your next home.
- Tax Benefits ~ By selling now you can have a closing after the first of the year for tax purposes.
- Loan Commitment ~ During the winter months you may be able to obtain a loan commitment quicker.
- Historic Low Interest Rates ~ More buyers can afford your home now with today’s rates.
- Highest Percentage ~ We usually have the highest percentage of listings sold to listings taken during this time of the year
