REALLY GREAT THING NUMBER 2:

KARL KNOWS THIS PLACE! After living here since 1969, Karl has definitely learned his way around town! He knows the new parts of town and the old parts of town. He knows where the weather is good and where it's been known to get a little breezy. He knows what it takes to build a house and what you can and can't do under Oregon's land use laws. He know where the wells run dry and where it's not too wise to put a septic tank.

More? Ok. How about shopping? Karl knows about what you can buy here and what you have to order from out of town. He also knows about our schools and parks and doctors and lawyers and accountants and mechanics and motel rooms and local eateries. He has lots of visitor handouts and, in general, a whole wealth of general information you really ought to have if you're even thinking about moving here. So the bottom line is this: Since most of the people who buy property here are from out of state, this is a broker who makes sure a prospective client also have the necessary information - long before the person get serious about signing any purchase agreements.

Let's face it. Brookings isn't for everyone and real estate is too big an investment to make without knowing all the pros and cons. That's why Karl will tell you the negative side as well as what's great about living here. This policy has cost him a few sales over the years. It's also gained him a lot of good friends.

REALLY GREAT THING NUMBER 3:

THE MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE

Some FTAs to FAQs about the MLS

(That's seagull talk for "Frequently Told Answers" to "Frequently Asked Questions")

FAQ #1...SO HOW DOES AN MLS WORK?

FTA #1...Pretty well. What happens is that the various real estate companies put their listings in a pool so that buyers and agents have access to all of them. For example, a seller might list his or her home with one real estate agency and have it sold by an agent from another agency, all because both agencies are members of the local MLS. There is no extra cost involved. The buyer and seller are each able to work with the agent of their choosing and the two realty companies split the commission which is still traditionally paid by the seller.
