Jean Knickelbine isn’t everybody’s realtor. She’s not going to brag about the number of houses she sells, because she’s not into volume transactions or shuffling clients off to members of her team.

Jean is a Certified Negotiation Expert, but she’s more than that – she’s a creative deal-maker who comes up with refreshing new ways to close a sale. Once, facing stiff competition, she encouraged her buyers to let the seller keep the pantry door on which they had tracked the height of 3 generations. Her buyers got the house even though they weren’t the highest offer.

She’s got a solid understanding of the financial side of real estate. And she knows how to make a property look great not just on the web, but for all the other viewers who make a critical difference, like inspectors and appraisers.

The first 20 years of Jean’s career was spent as an award-winning advertising, marketing and public relations executive handling national and international accounts. Because of her expertise, she was repeatedly asked to judge national marketing and design competitions In NYC. You benefit from all her experience introducing new products to key target markets when selling your house. She has a careful eye for design and a natural aptitude for project management.

And she doesn’t just talk about treating clients as individuals. She actually gives each one an enormous amount of her individual attention. As in weeding your garden to increase curb appeal, staging your house at no additional charge to you, treating you to a pizza delivery on those tough house prep days – that kind of attention.

That’s not the way to set sales records. But it is the way to build solid, lifetime relationships. And that’s the way Jean wants to do real estate. Maybe it’s the way you’d like to do it too.
