The Tony-Z Team
Tony Zandbergen
Personal Real Estate Corporation - Realtor®
I sold my first home in the Cloverdale/Clayton area in 1990, and have grown my business each and every year with the help of a great team and countless recommendations from my past clients. Their trust in me in handling their purchase or sale of a home has had them recommend me to their friends, family and colleagues.
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional – integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.
That said, in my experience as a Cloverdale real estate professional, I’ve also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
This “client first” philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I’ve found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I’ve always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They’ve also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.
I have met some amazing clients along these 30 years, and still, stay in touch with many of them. I have been invited into the homes of so many great people with great stories to tell of their life experiences
I learned early on the value of specializing in the Fraser Valley, being able to give expert advice based on specific neighbourhoods and understanding the special nature of each area.
My buyers know I can find the right match for them in the home they will love for years. My sellers know I can represent them to obtain the best price, and be happy with the journey from being listed to handing the keys over and starting their new adventure.
When you decide that you’d like to buy or sell a home in the Cloverdale area, please contact me.
