Selling your commercial property: Find Jamie Chu!

Before meeting Jamie Chu, my partner and I spent six years with various brokerages trying to sell our business and commercial property. During that time we had a lot of realtors and none of them were near the quality of what Jamie is. The previous agents had no strategy for us. They seemed to be happy just to list our property on MLS. They didn’t go out and actively pursue buyers for us. We felt the service we received wasn’t very personal. We were just another listing that needed to be renewed every six months. In those six years no one tried to find out why our building wasn’t being sold. We went through six brokerages in six years with no success in selling our property.

We met Jamie through a professional referral. My partner and I sat down with her and came up with a strategy and different game plan than what we had tried before. Jamie told us what we needed to hear, not necessarily what we wanted to hear. First we needed to adjust our price to reflect the current market value of the properties. Jamie is very particular in how the building looked and showed. She guided us from a much different view point than what we previously had before. After this point is when we really started to see action in views, showings, and offers.

One thing about Jamie is that she is persistent about achieving her goals. Sometimes her drive and energy is hard to keep up with. She is detail oriented and puts a personal touch on her work. She took the time to get to know our building and properties, as well as clarify our expectations of her. I felt she never pulled any punches on how she guided us with helping to sell our properties. We knew she always had our best interests in the decision making process. She was always honest with us about our choices and options.

The aspect I appreciated most about Jamie was her commitment to communication. We heard from her on a constant basis. It wasn’t like past agents who we wouldn’t see or hear from for months. She would talk to us at least once a week if not more. That really helped me to realize that someone is out there working for me. She was also wonderful in helping perspective buyers envision different ways in which they could utilize our property for their own use.

Montana Real Estate Experts marketing went beyond what we ever thought it would be. We finally felt our building and property were being marketed in a way fitting of what it deserved. We felt Jamie really took care of us. I was so impressed with Jamie’s dedication and service that my wife and I will be listing our house for sale with Montana Real Estate Experts. That will be the third transaction that we will have together. In closing I say this ” If you want to sell something find Jamie”!

Montana Real Estate Experts made it easy.

At the beginning of summer we were entering the real estate market in order to sell our home in Bozeman Montana. We had recently acquired a new business opportunity in another part of Montana and needed to market our home. We met with various relators, unimpressed we were left wondering if we should sell the property ourselves. One day we noticed our neighbor directly across the street had a for sale sign in her front yard. The relator’s name on the sign was Jamie Chu. I visited our neighbor and asked why she chose Jamie. My neighbor stated that Jamie had just sold their rental property the prior month. It took less than three weeks for Jamie to get it under contract. My neighbor was delighted with the marketing, communication, hard working persona, and Jamie’s ability to negotiate the best price for them.

The following week we noticed that there was an open house across the street. I went over and spoke with Jamie about our property. She said she would be happy to come over and talk to us about our property. After the open house Jamie spent 45 minutes with us explaining the positive aspects of our home as well as  well as the things that needed to be addressed and fixed. We were both grateful with her investment of time and knowledge. In less than a week Jamie met with us again with a current market analysis of our home. Her local knowledge of our neighborhood inventory and prices was excellent. She did her homework and dug deep. Her CMA was very close to the price we received  for our home. We signed with Jamie and Montana Real Estate Experts. The next day the photo session took place.

We were pleased with Montana Real Estate Experts professional photographer. He was able to see our house the way that we see it, and had the ability to convey that in the imaging that he produced for marketing our home. After the property was listed, it took six days for our home to go under contract. Thanks to Jamie’s great communication and ease of accessibility, our transaction went incredibly smooth.

We are thankful that we chose Montana Real Estate Experts. We became a team and sold our home easily. We have already recommended Montana Real Estate Experts to others.

 

 

 

 

Jamie Catered to My Needs

Choosing a Realtor can be an arduous task per say. In Bozeman Montana there are over 1000 Real Estate Agents in a population of 50,000. I am a person that makes careful well thought out and
measured decisions. It took me over a year of interviewing agents to find the right one to represent me. The agent that I choose was Jamie Chu of Montana Real Estate Experts.

In order to explain what makes Jamie different from her contemporizes I’ll have to explain what I was looking for in an agent. Over 10 years ago I suffered a stroke which has changed the way in which I handle my daily life. I needed someone who recognized my limitations and could help me but also someone who would not pander to my constraints. Some agents I interviewed were oblivious to this, while others were kind and considerate of my challenges. Jamie had a kindness and compassion that was truly genuine and professional. She understood that the cold snowy winters of Bozeman where something that I no longer wanted to deal with. Her regular follow up was impressive even before she represented me.

Her marketing strategy and team are first rate. The photography was outstanding and made my property look impeccable. Within 24 hours of my house being put on the market, Jamie had my home under contract. Of course, this was only the first step. I decided to relocate out of state. Jamie assisted with this and helping to locate a Realtor as well as facilitated finding a lender who could navigate the lengthy process of VA Loans. Once I had found a property and put in an offer all that was left to do was wait for my property to close. This was the most stressful time due to contingencies of the out of state buyer needing to sell their home in order to buy mine. Jamie was in daily contact with not only my out of state agent but also the buyers out of state agent. She effectively managed three multiple transactions in three different states at the same time.

In closing I would like to say I am thoroughly impressed with Jamie’s honesty, integrity, and dedication to my needs. The only bad part of this transaction is that I now miss the community and people of Bozeman. It is a special place and its absence will be felt.

From Buyers to Sellers

We chose Jamie to represent us in buying a house due to her swift response to our online inquiries on a condo we were looking at. Although the property we were interested in didn’t work out Jamie was more than happy to schedule and show us other possibilities that might work. We eventually found a 3-bedroom 2.5 bath house that we could call our first home.

We were impressed with her knowledge of local property inventories and her honest, straight shooter personality.

At the time of purchase, we had been married for four years and my wife was 3 months pregnant. This would be the house that we would eventually bring our baby girl Josephine home to. Within 2 hours of the house closing I was ripping out carpeting and installing new flooring. For the next 2 years we invested hard work, elbow grease, and money to make this house a cornerstone of our family. During this time Jamie kept in close contact with us with pleasant communication and updates on our future equity, but this is only half the story.

Early this year my wife interviewed and secured a prestigious job opportunity out of state which means we now must sell our home. Once again, we chose Jamie and Montana Real Estate Experts to represent us in selling our home.

The reason we didn’t need to interview other real estate agents was due to our relationship with Jamie as well as previous interactions with agents prior to working with Jamie. Within 24 hours of signing the listing agreement the Montana Real Estate Experts team was here photographing our house. In a period of 10 days our house was under contract.

Jamie and Montana Real Estate Experts exceeded our expectations with excellent service, great communication and updates, remarkable photography and marketing, easy to get a hold of at any time, ahead of the curve on everything, more responsive than anyone on the playing field, and we never had to wait on Jamie.

We would definitely recommend Jamie and Montana Real Estate Experts to our friends and family. In fact, we already have.
