Strong 30 years ago and stronger TODAY — that is United Country Ridgeway Real Estate’s vision statement for the years beyond their 30th year in business. (http://www.ridgewayrealestate.com)
Sue Fuge, broker at United Country Ridgeway Real Estate credits a great deal of the success for Ridgeway to partner Devon Campbell ’s expertise as a successful farmer knowledgeable in what grasses and hay grow best in the area and how to get the most from them. Additionally, he has contacts for equipment, supplies and services that farmers new to the area are going to need. These skills have permitted Ridgeway to offer extra ongoing service to customers that helps keep the neighbor connection going long after closing.
In recent conversation, Sue commented that the early vision for service at Ridgeway had happened and that it continues to happen even in what analysts call a tough market. Service added farming knowledge and expertise build loyalty in clients and customers alike, that connection has made a successful year for United Country Real Estate regardless of the market.
Real estate is affected incredibly by the availability of technology — less expensive phone service, Internet communication, websites and more. The stresses of the market seem high today, but there is always some sort of market issue to deal with.
Sue observed that today’s real estate customer is expectant and savvy, wanting in-depth information right at their fingertips. Technology makes that possible and it is healthier for the industry to be able to avoid issues and misunderstandings through better communication and resources for information.
Additionally, the paperwork for different aspects of representation; will the agent be the seller’s agent or the buyer’s agent have added complications to the real estate industry. I agree with Sue that real estate professionals in all parts of the country don’t represent threats to the representation of the people who have a property to sell or to those who want to buy a property. Professional brokers and agents don’t sell property, they bring property and people together. The property ’sings’ to the customer and does the deal. Professionals just have to offer good connection service and good neighborly treatment and stay out of the way.
According to the vision for the future, no amount of paperwork or spooky economics will hinder the agents and brokers at United Country Ridgeway Real Estate (http://www.ridgewayrealestate.com/) from offering continually improving service to the real estate market in the Ozarks. Sue commented, “Our goal for the future is to continue to assist our sellers in marketing their homes, farms and ranches while helping our customers find the right property to fit their needs. We will continue to strengthen our advertizing base and cover more area’s to find more people with an interest in coming to enjoy life in our beautiful Ozarks area.”
Ozarks Mystique congratulates the neighbors at Ridgeway for their business success and wants them to stay in the Mansfield, Missouri business community for many more years.
