Rob Dalrymple, ABR, WHC, Trusted Advisor(TM)

How I Work:

I approach this business very differently than the vast majority of agents and I like to showcase this difference. I see my role as expanded beyond that of a typical salesperson. I am more of a consultant....a trusted advisor.

As a Trusted Advisor, my purpose is not just to show and sell houses. I know how important my family is and I always remember that when I represent my clients. In addition to showing properties and executing contracts I always look out for my clients' best interests. I make certain they make good decisions as these will impact their family and their wallet for years to come.

How do I do this?

1. I will take the time to focus on and understand your needs.

2. I will determine if and how I can help you.

3. I will showcase to you exactly how I can help you,
   and then you can decide if you want to invite me to be your advisor.

What is my role as an Advisor?

Advisor: I will never sell or pressure you. It is my responsibility to educate and counsel you. I will guide you through the entire process. I will transfer appropriate knowledge to your seat so that you can make good decisions that are best for you. It is also my obligation and duty to always look out for your best interests and to make your interests my first priority, over and above everything else.

Master Marketer: Provide you with total market exposure. I do this by using all the tools available to me. I will use my networking skills, state of the art technology and other innovative techniques to better serve your needs and interests. This also incorporates having all the needed services (mortgage, insurance, closing, etc) conveniently available under one roof.

Skillful Negotiator: Many times a real estate transaction begins or ends at the point of negotiation. If the agent is not a skillful negotiator he can alienate the other party or weaken the position of his client. While anyone can write up an offer, effectively preparing and packaging it so that is accepted is quite different and more complex.

Expert Facilitator: I will handle the entire process and make certain that it is worry free. I will eliminate 80% of problems from ever arising with my attention to detail and by using my "Transaction Management System".

As a full time agent, real estate is my business and I will work hard for you. I am a lifetime Maryland resident, specializing in Carroll County and the surrounding areas.

Although buying or selling a home can be stressful at times, I believe it can also be a positive and fun experience. I love my job and it shows. You can count on my cheerful, professional approach to make your move as stress-free as possible for you and your family.

Buying or selling, I can help you every step of the way!
