Real estate business a team effort
What do the Chicago Bears and Big Bear Real Estate Company have in common, besides a furry critter? Both rely on team effort to achieve their goals.
It’s that team effort that has helped Big Bear, located at 398 Main St., increase sales in the new and strong market.
“The team at Big Bear has good news! Real estate is turning around,” said Big Bear CEO Rick Castonguay.
Castonguay said this is evident with both out-of-state and local buyers.
“People just feel differently, more upbeat, more positive about both the short-term and long-term economic outlook,” he said.
“Sellers feel a bit more positive about listing homes, cottages, businesses and such,” continued Castonguay.
According to Castonguay, the buyers are still calling a lot of the shots but financing is a bit easier.
“They now realize that the ‘giveaway’ days are fast drawing to a close. There has been no better time to buy a home in the last 50 years than right now. All types of property are starting to move, not only residential but camps and commercial properties as well,” said Castonguay.
That’s where Big Bear’s team of six friendly, experienced agents as well as three support staff can serve your real estate needs.
“Each realtor works closely with clients, listening and learning what they like and don’t like. The Big Bear team takes pride in developing very close relationships with their clients. We feel this is paramount to our success,” he said. “Big Bear takes the stress out of buying and selling real estate.”
The folks at Big Bear love to make their clients money. Their home sellers get more money than they can get by attempting to market their properties themselves.
“It’s a win-win situation. And that’s the way the Big Bear team likes it,” said Castonguay.
Business hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday; nights and weekends by appointment. For more information, call 764-4600 or go to the “easy-to-navigate” website bigbearrealestatecompany.com.
