Negotiating Tips: Why You SHOULD Make the First Offer

From Linked In: “Ginger is — bottom line — an outstanding real estate agent. She exudes professionalism, integrity, and personability. Also, being that I was a first time home buyer, she was extremely patient and willing to explain processes that were completely foreign to me.

Hiring Ginger as my realtor was one of the best decisions I have made. I needed to find “the perfect house” in a short period of time. She worked very hard to make that happen for me and believe me, that was no easy task. I’m very particular, and not always easy to work with. But Ginger really listened to my needs and wants, and showed me only those houses that met my criteria. She was always available and flexible. Ginger was great at answering any questions, or calming any concerns I had. She always returned my phone calls promptly…

Ginger, Pam and Brittany always do a good job. We have used their services more than once and will continue to use them when needed. Thank you ladies!

Ginger is one of THE BEST Real Estate Agents we have ever worked with!!! Can’t wait to buy our next house through Ginger because she made buying our first house less stressful, easy, and fun! I will continue to recommend her to everyone buying or selling a house.

Ginger was definitely a joy to work with. She was very confident in her advice she gave us and had straight forward answers to the questions we asked. I would recommend her to anybody.

In the confusing and often overwhelming world of Real Estate it was so reassuring to have Ginger by our side through the entire process of finding and purchasing our new home. She was always available to us no matter what the time or day and always made us feel like we were her only client. We will forever be grateful to Ginger as we believe she is the only reason our dream home became a reality! Thank you!

My wife and I recently purchased a second home in the Denver area. We chose Ginger Matney as our realtor. Ginger was knowledgeable, friendly, kind and fun to be around. I have owned (in the not too distant past) a medium sized, very successful, 26 agent real estate company. I have seen all kinds of agents. I have to say that Ginger has a very high level of professionalism that is seldom seen in an agent at her age. Ginger saw that the closing went very smooth and no detail was left out. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ginger for…

We worked with Ginger for several months. She was very patient with us and our need to find just the right house. She asked us good questions and brought up good points to help us with decision making. Ginger is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about educating her clients. Thanks Ginger!

Very quick and knowledgeable in answering questions and closing. Very happy in dealing with them (Ginger & Pamela) and would recommend them to others!

“We couldn’t be happier with the services of Ginger and her team over the last 5 years! Ginger is a unique combination of extensive experience in the rental market and the knowledge of a lawyer. She is always available to support us in every possible way, and a wonderful person to work with, and so is her team!

Melani was helpful, prepared, kind, and beyond wonderful to work with. We truly wouldn’t have been able to buy a home without her Hard work and expertise. She went above and beyond with us every step of the way, and I would absolutely recommend Melani to everyone looking to buy or sell.

As first time home buyers, we were lost on where to even start. Luckily, we were recommended to Elevate! The amount of knowledge about the local market they possess is outstanding. Not to mention their ability to be easily reached and their communication is outstanding! I honestly tell everyone I know that if they are selling/buying that they have to use Ginger! They made the process to easy and simple!

Just wanted to let you know we’ve used a couple of your guys from your vendor list that you sent out. We’ve had some struggles with our usually people and called your garage guy and egress window guy. They were both phenomenal. They communicate quickly and well, their bids were better than work we’ve had done in the past. Running our business from AZ can be challenging at times. Joe and I just want to let you know we appreciate your list!

This team is awesome! They have consistently gone above and beyond to not only find our new home but to deal with any issues that arose both before and after our purchase. As first time home buyers, the team throughly and completely answered all of our questions. And there were a lot! Thank you for all your help!

I already talked with your HVAC guy and will be using him on our current flip. You saved me $1,300 by using him. A BIG thank you to to you!!! You have also given me that rental cd in the past. I have used that many times for my rental properties!!!! You’re the best. Most people keep their knowledge close to them and protect it. You on the other hand are not afraid to share it to help others become more knowledgeable, save them time and MONEY too!

She really took the time to get to know us and help us figure out which house would be right for us based on our specific needs and preferences..

If you are looking for someone who will have your back through the process Melani is someone who will. She is diligent, thoughtful, and cares immensely. She is also a great teacher of the process. I am so glad I had her in my corner.

Ginger and Brittany at Elevate Real Estate made our move from hundreds of miles away so easy and fun. Our closing details and actual closing were seamless. Thanks girls for giving us the home of our dreams!

Ginger was very helpful to me selling my home (in a very tough market.) She gave great advice on what to fix and what to “let go.” There was very little stress i the preparation and very little during the negotiations. All went very smoothly. She keeps her promises!!

“Melani was amazing!Every aspect of our experience was incredible. Her communication was clear, knowledgable and professional.She was personable, warm and friendly, making her so easy to work with. She advocated for us (as we were not locals) and made us feel like we were her only priority. We love our home and highly recommend Melani to anyone looking for a realtor in the area!”

Working with Ginger and her associates @ Elevate Real Estate was wonderful! They made the process of selling my townhome easy and hassle free during a very stressful time in my life. I recommend them to everyone!

Ginger helped us find “our” house and we felt great about our final decision. We really trust her business sense. We will call Ginger again when we are selling in the future!

In my past experiences with other real estate agents, they were dishonest. They would tell you anything you want to hear to get you to sign on with them only to come up short with what they promise they can do for you. Not Ginger! She is very honest and trustworthy! She fights for you and her values and morals makes her a great person to have in real estate, Thanks Ginger!

Ginger and her team were so amazing to work with! They were knowledgeable, patient, understanding and always made time for us. I would highly recommend them when it comes time to buy a house!
