Denise Hamlin – Your Iowa City Real Estate Resource

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial investments you’ll make in your lifetime. Before you pick up the phone to call me to help buy or sell a home in the Iowa City area you’ll want to know that I’m up to the job!

Buyers: Do you want to work with an agent who knows the ins and outs of the Iowa City real estate market and knows how to help you get the right house at the right price? I know how to get the job done and as your Buyer’s Agent will always act on your behalf providing you with the valuable information you need to make sound decisions.

Sellers: A “common sense” approach to real estate means that when you call for a FREE Market Analysis you’ll get an honest and realistic assessment of your home’s value. It will be based on sound market data and include an analysis of current market conditions in the Iowa City real estate market.

The one thing past clients will all tell you is that the outcome of their real estate transaction was important to me. Whether you’re buying or selling real estate, I want to make sure the experience is a smooth and happy one for you with no second guessing later about any of the decisions you make on the way.

The Importance of Technology in a Real Estate Transaction

I believe the Internet has changed the world of real estate and incorporate technology into my strategy whenever possible. When you List Your Home with Cardinal Realty you can expect a comprehensive online Marketing Plan. – With 94% of buyers online this more than makes up for the lack of a big brand name! When you list your home with me you can expect buyers to trip over your listing on every major hub on the Internet from Realtor.com and Zillow to YouTube and Facebook  - Wherever buyers are hanging out on-line they will be sure to run into your listing somewhere!

Marketing homes is one reason to embrace technology. The other has more to do with what goes on behind the scenes with writing contracts. Electronic signing is standard – A huge convenience to all buyers and sellers, particularly those who don’t have reliable access to a computer and rely on hand held devices. By combining a personal approach with the latest and best in technology my clients get the best of both worlds.

Special Area of Expertise – Relocation

Whether you’re thinking of upgrading to a bigger home or downgrading to a smaller one, I can help with both. An area of special interest to me is helping clients relocating to Iowa City or helping them sell a home when they leave again. Having relocated countless times myself I have insights on the challenges  involved in both buying and selling homes when relocating.

I offer personal representation to buyers and sellers in the Iowa City area. Not a fan of Dual Agency I am happy to represent you as a buyer as your Buyer’s Agent and Sellers as your Listing Agent. I try to avoid Dual Agency whenever possible. The concept of working for one client at a time is simple and straightforward with no conflicts of interest.

When you’re ready to make your move give me a call at 319-400-0268 or drop me an email. I’d love to hear from you!
