If you’ve ever wondered what a REALTOR® really does beyond showing homes and putting up “For Sale” signs, you’re not alone.
The truth is, being a great real estate agent means doing a lot of work that you may never see—but that work is what makes your experience smooth, your transaction successful, and your goals a reality.
At Annie Scott Realty Group LLC, I don’t just open doors. I guide, protect, negotiate, and manage every part of the process so you can move forward with confidence.
Here’s a peek behind the curtain at what I actually do as your REALTOR®.
1. I Learn Your Story—And Tailor Every Step Around It
No two clients are alike, and no two homes are either. I start by listening—really listening—to your goals, budget, timeline, and dreams.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, relocating, upsizing, or selling a lifelong home, I create a customized plan that puts your priorities first. From pricing strategy to showing schedules, it all starts with you.
2. I Research, Plan, and Strategize Behind the Scenes
Before we ever tour a home or list your property, I’m hard at work:
- Analyzing the local market
- Running comparative sales data (CMA)
- Studying neighborhood trends
- Coordinating timelines and preparing paperwork
This research is what helps you price right, buy smart, and stay competitive—especially in fast-moving markets like we see across Indiana.
3. I Market Your Home Like a Pro
If you’re selling, you need more than just photos and a listing online. I craft a full marketing plan that may include:
- Professional photography and video
- Social media campaigns
- Staging consultations
- Email outreach to my network of buyers and agents
- Open houses and private showings
Behind every successful sale is a well-executed strategy—and I build yours from the ground up.
4. I Negotiate Relentlessly (and Respectfully)
Negotiation isn’t just about the final price. It’s about inspections, repairs, financing terms, possession dates, and protecting your bottom line.
I work on your behalf—firmly and professionally—to ensure you get the best possible terms without losing the deal. My job is to keep emotions steady, prevent surprises, and advocate for your best interest, always.
5. I Coordinate a Team of Professionals
Real estate transactions involve more than just the buyer and seller. I also coordinate with:
- Lenders
- Title companies
- Inspectors
- Appraisers
- Attorneys (when needed)
- Contractors and stagers
I keep everyone aligned so that timelines stay on track and nothing falls through the cracks.
6. I Solve Problems Before They Become Roadblocks
Real estate is rarely perfect. A low appraisal, a surprise during inspection, or a last-minute paperwork issue can all cause stress—or even derail a deal.
But that’s where I step in. My job is to solve problems quickly and calmly, and to guide you through the challenges with transparency, solutions, and support.
7. I Walk With You All the Way—Even After Closing
Once the keys are exchanged, I don’t disappear. Whether you need contractor recommendations, market updates, or help preparing for your next move, I stay connected and ready to help.
Many of my clients become lifelong friends, and I consider that one of the best parts of this job.
Final Thoughts
What I do as your REALTOR® goes far beyond contracts and showings. I’m here to provide expertise, clarity, advocacy, and peace of mind—from our first conversation to long after the closing table.
At Annie Scott Realty Group LLC, I don’t just work for you—I work with you. And I’m proud to make the process feel less like a transaction, and more like a partnership.
Have questions about buying or selling? I’d love to walk you through what to expect and how I can help. Let’s talk.
