Everyone always hears the adage about how buying a home is the biggest investment you’ ll ever make. And in a monetary sense, it’ s true. But it’ s also true in an emotional sense as well.

“ People don’ t understand how daunting it can be until they’ re in the thick of it,” said Coldwell Banker Realtor Tina Rupp.“ Our job is to make the entire process as stress‐free as possible.”

Tina, who is a Multi‐Million Dollar Producer, and who is ranked in the top 50 of Coldwell Banker agents, has been selling real estate since 1996. She’ s a graduate of the Realtor Institute, a Certified Negotiation Expert, and a Cartus Network Affinity Specialist, which assures excellence in facilitating corporate relocation services. With Coldwell Banker being a national company, there’ s never any trouble, whether you’ re moving across the street or across the country and beyond.

“ I make myself available around the clock,” Tina says.“ If it’ s evenings, weekends, holidays, 24 / 7, I’ m there for my clients, and I fight for them, whether they’ re buying or selling, to make sure they’ re getting the best terms and price.”

As a Certified Negotiation Expert, Tina excels at crafting deals that are advantageous to her clients, and ensuring that those deals stick. She attributes most of the success she’ s had in negotiating hard deals to her dedication to keeping open lines of communication with her clients.

The other key to her success in negotiating amicable deals for her clients is creative, outside‐the‐box thinking when it comes to bringing parties together.

“ Everything is negotiable; it’ s not just monetary figures,” she said.“ A‘ no’ isn’ t really a‘ no’ when there are other things on the table like inspections and timetables. You may not be able to get everybody everything they want, but you can make it so each party is getting something for their efforts.”

While she puts her skills to use with every client for every sale, Tina said that the most gratifying clients for her are first‐time homebuyers.

Tina enjoys taking them under her wing and helping them overcome the fears and hurdles that come with purchasing a new home.

“ They’ re afraid. They’ re tentative,” she explains.“ But when the process is done, it’ s very satisfying. It’ s harder work, of course, but worth it to me to ensure their happiness.”

Even before you start looking at new homes, the first step in the purchasing process is to get a pre‐approval letter. Natalie Corsello Frazier at First Choice Mortgage Services can help you with the pre‐approval and tailoring the mortgage payment to your comfort level.
