Today we’d like to introduce you to Joel Sodeman, our buyer’s agent.
“My favorite thing about being a buyer’s agent—besides when we close and they get their keys—has to be the first time they realize I work for them,” says Joel. “Often when you call a listing agent, they take you through the house trying to really sell the house. They tell you all the good things.”
When you work with a buyer’s agent, they work in your best interests, not the sellers.
“I’m there to work for you,” says Joel. “As we walk through [a house], I’ll say, ‘I think there’s some water damage here. There might be two layers of shingles on the roof.’ Or when we go to the basement, I’ll say, ‘This furnace is old.”"

Joel is not there to sell the house. He wants you to know exactly what you’re getting into. “I’m not there to push a house on them. I want you to find the perfect house. I have three teenage daughters, and I always say, ‘I wouldn’t put you in a house I wouldn’t put my own kids in.’”
Joel wants you to find the perfect house.
