Ronin The Realtor

Transformational Real Estate (TRE) Is

A New Model

TRE is designed to guide individuals and families toward real estate decisions that support psychological growth, identity and long-term wellbeing.

My Vision

To redefine real estate as a path to self-actualization. The highest form of self-expression. Creating a new industry standard where emotional clarity and personal transformation are central to the homestead experience.

The Problem

Traditional real estate treats clients like transactions, focuses on features rather than identity, lacks emotional intelligence and offers no structured self-discovery process.

The Solution

Slow down to speed up clarity.

Replace overwhelm with grounded decision making

Help people feel seen, understood and supported

Deliver a premium, boutique experience

Hello & Welcome

Ronin at a glance

Empathy - As an empath I have developed a willingness to understand people beyond the casual and foster an experience.

Innovation - Creativity makes me an innovative person. This helps me see a vision and stay one step ahead of the curve.

Conscientiousness - Organized, reliable, disciplined. With my attention to detail, I can serve my clients at the highest possible level.

Composed - I am a very calm person. Not easily stressed. I learn from and enjoy challenges because it helps feed my creativity.

Adaptability - Enables me to work directly with clients or to assign specific experts while I manage a growing business.

At 65yo, my work history is diverse, but a common theme is that I have been self-employed most of my life. I have owned and operated several small businesses and gained insight into customer service and professionalism that cannot be taught in any other way.

I spent one 5-year enlistment period in the military. Specializing in construction with the US Navy Seabees.

I also gained advanced degrees in science and became a Chiropractor which I am now retired from after 22 years.

Real estate has always been a passion for me and over the years I gained knowledge in construction, sales and marketing, maintenance, landscaping, mortgage finance, negotiation, trends, best use applications and more.

What is my fee for service?

Short answer is 3%

But, everything in life is negotiable, or at least should be.

Should it be justified. I think so. We should have a chat about that.

I do not charge anything for people who need a little guidance and am more than happy to provide step by step actions to take for either side of a transaction.

People are a lot more knowledgeable about matters of real estate these days but sometimes you just don't have time or don't want to do certain things.

In this case you are wanting to hire a realtor.

Traditionally sellers paid 6%. Not anymore. Since the NAR settlement things have gotten a lot more interesting. Now buyers are asked to pay their own realtor commission. And since marketing has gotten a lot less expensive seller commissions have come down.

Things to consider

Things to consider for sellers,
1. Pre-listing activities such as county records review with corrections and/or /updates,
as well as in depth customized comparative market analysis to determine correct pricing.

Not from public online real estate sites.
2. Staging review and action plan.
3. Marketing of property thru online portals. MLS and their syndicated partners
4. Negotiations with buyers' and/or their agents.
5. Developing your exit strategy.
6. Pulling together a sale. Often extra steps are needed to pull together interested parties.
7. Who pays what fees. Obtaining "net sheets" from loan officers
8. What to provide tittle companies. Just ask them.
9. Preparing for contingencies.

Things to consider for buyers,
1. Pre Qualification vs. Pre Approval?
2. Figuring the true costs and what you can afford.
3. Creating an investment strategy
4. Searching for relevant properties.
5. Crafting offers that get accepted.
6. Uncovering hidden costs and how to prepare for them.
7. Negotiating can be stressful and can actually be avoided if you are dialed in to your needs and use a collaborative strategy with a seller.
