It’s understandable that a buyer would like to use an agent from their home-town with whom they already have a relationship and a rapport with. However, the Mammoth Lakes Board of Realtors is a “non-reciprocal” board, meaning that we have no obligation to work with out-of-area agents. Trust me, this is in the best interest of a prospective buyer; local agents KNOW the market, know the comps, all “ins and outs” of differing areas of town, the reputable contractors, and all the different zoning ordinances/disclosures etc. Need I say more?! If you want to be well-represented throughout a transaction, and not over-pay, then you must hire a local agent.
Why should I use a local Mammoth Lakes agent, and not my home-town realtor?
I believe that communication, integrity, transparency, and hard work are the cornerstones of solid client-agent relationships. Along with these attributes, and some strong negotiation skills, anything can be accomplished in this business. And YOU, as the buyer or seller, should not settle for anything less.
I love where I live, and I love my job; working in real estate means that I get to share my love of the Sierra with others. Work with an agent that understands what it is to “Live Mammoth,” and live BIG!
