Real Estate Buyer Representation with Phil Sharp
“During my almost 25 year career in the Army, my family and I PCS’d nine times.  I learned a lot from all of those moves….and I used what I learned in designing my real estate business.
I offer a plan that gives special consideration to long distance relocations and military relocations.  As part of the plan, I employ three assistants….these assistants allow me to focus on what is important…spending time with you looking for and negotiating the purchase of your home.  The reason I mention my assistants is that they are here to provide the following services to you:”

Dupont Real Estate Experience = Expertise; We Have the Relocation House Hunting Process Down to a Science
Transaction Coordinator:  Stephanie Wagner; Steph’s job is to work with you prior to your arrival searching for homes that fit your needs, research your favorites, and help you make use of the tools I provide.  Stephanie also manages the administrative aspects of your purchase, coordinates inspections and reports, and insures that your lender, Title Company and any other parties involved in the transaction are communicating.  Dupont Real Estate Listings are available thru the home search tool on this website.  If you would like to have Stephanie search for homes for sale in Dupont that fit your criteria just let us know.

Relocation Sponsor:  Gina McCune; Gina is our relocation sponsor (you can probably guess where that came from).  Her role is to provide a contact on the ground in Washington who is not part of the purchase process.  Gina’s job is to be your (and especially your spouse’s) eyes on the ground when it comes to the aspects of your move that aren’t related to the purchase of a home.  Commuting and community info, school information, jobs and employment, and just about everything else.   If you are relocating to the Dupont WA area, and need information, Gina will do every thing she can to get answers to your questions.

Marketing Manager:  Kelly Kelly (Yes, that’s her real name); Kelly is the one responsible for our incredible web presence.  If you are selling your home, Kelly is also the one who gets it exposed/marketed to the largest group of buyers possible.  Kelly is a real marketing guru, Check out the Sellers Tool Box at www.PhilSharpHomes.com for more info.

Real Estate Agent and Broker:  Phil Sharp;  While I am the Broker of Phil Sharp Homes LLC, I am the only “agent” in my office.  I sell real estate in Dupont Wa,  and I feel that my place is in the field showing homes, negotiating contracts, and supervising the path to closing.  Thru the course of my 9 PCS moves, I had both good and bad experiences with real estate agents.  The following I feel are the most important, and played in a major role in the formulation of my business plan:

I will never leave you sitting at the lodge, your TDY or leave time won’t be wasted.  Many real estate agents expect to view 6-8 homes in a day, they then need to “get back to the office”.  I say….If the mission is to find a home, then we find a home…..

I will educate you on the home buying process prior to your arrival, if you are a first time home buyer.  I will assist you in getting pre-qualified for a mortgage (either VA loan or conventional), and my wife Gayle and I will do everything we can to make your family’s move to Washington a successful one.   As an educated, well qualified home buyer, you will be in a stronger position to negotiate the real estate market.  In working with an educated buyer, I am more able to focus on the property, negotiations, inspections, and closing.

I will educate you about the area before and after you arrive.  Many real estate agents work in small specific areas.  I work the perimeter of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, which includes Dupont and all of the other cities around the base.  Upon your arrival, you can expect a tour of the entire perimeter, not just the areas that I “prefer” to work in.

My staff and I will communicate with you regularly from our initial contact until well after closing.  Purchasing a home is not at all like purchasing a car or anything else for that matter.  I expect to work with you for several months before your arrival, for a month or more as we find, negotiate and close on your home, and hopefully for the duration of your time as a resident of Dupont Washington.  I assure you that you will be happy with my service, and expertise…I realize that we have to work together for a lot longer than it takes to buy a car.

As I stated earlier, my personal real estate experiences are the basis for how I operate my business.  I believe that I offer the best real estate buyer representation in the Dupont WA area, and that I am uniquely qualified to anticipate your needs and the stresses brought on by your relocation or PCS move.  Feedback from my customers, especially service members, with their often tight timelines, pending deployments, and multifaceted relocation plans demonstrate that I do well with home buyers who have a lot of balls in the air.  I look forward to representing you in the purchase of your new home in Dupont, I am confident that you will be more than satisfied with the experience.

Dupont Washington Real Estate Market: Dupont Realty An Island of Strength
The Real Estate Market in Dupont (and Steilacoom) WA is part of an incredibly strong “micro economy”  (I am making up the term…and I am not an economist).  DuPont’s economy, and real estate market in general, is dramatically affected by proximity to Fort Lewis (JB Lewis-McChord), and its location on the freeway essentially half way between Tacoma and Olympia.  Real estate values in Dupont are 12-15% below market highs….essentially from where they were in late 2007.  In comparison to other close by markets, which have declined by as much as 30%, Dupont/Steilacoom have faired very well.

The majority of recent home sales in Dupont are new construction.  The existing home market is relatively small, and is tied closely to Steilacoom (another small community just up the road.  If you are looking for a home close to post, with easy access to I-5, you should check out homes for sale in Steilacoom as well).

Dupont has been a very small community until recently.  In the late 1990’s the first new neighborhoods began in earnest.  Construction has slowed some in recent years due to the general economic situation, but new home construction and sales have continued without interruption for about the last 12 years.
