DEDICATION & COMMITMENT

“

What an amazing experience we have had with Lugean Hogan. A true professional from start to finish. She followed through on everything discussed and provided needed information for different and necessary services. We would recommend Lugean to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area.

Anything else we could say would be 100% positive.

She is the best of the best, and we thank her for her guidance and patience.

Cherie and Jim Wright

Lugean has listed and sold two properties for us and she also helped us find our dream home on the ocean.

She is a dedicated, knowledgeable, and hardworking agent. One of our properties that she sold had a number of issues, and she worked diligently to get us to closing. I am always amazed at how responsive and thorough she is with every detail of the listing all the way up to the closing. If anyone is looking to sell or buy a property on the coast, I would highly recommend that they contact Lugean Hogan, and I am certain your clients will be extremely happy with the results. Plus, she makes great jelly, honey, and pastries!

The purchase of our beach property went very smoothly thanks to the extensive knowledge and expertise of Lugean Hogan. She was extremely helpful in our search for a property that was right for us.

Lugean clearly explained and answered all of our questions and concerns about the home buying process, including making an offer, dealing with lenders, negotiating with the previous owner, and the closing. Throughout, Lugean was very professional and responsive to our needs. It was clear from the start that our interests were her number one priority and that my wife and I and Lugean were part of the same team. I would strongly recommend Lugean and the Bluewater Team to any prospective home buyer.

Norman Possiel, Jr. It was great working with Lugean! Her communication skills are excellent, and she returned all calls or messages. She helped us get the DEAL we wanted and that’s very important. We would recommend Lugean to anyone looking for real estate. In our opinion, she is the BEST! Ted and Brenda Hedrick

EXPERIENCE LUXURY MARKETING

TO FIND YOUR NEXT HOME

FINDING YOUR NEXT HOME If you are looking to buy or sell another property, let our knowledge of your requirements, needs, likes, and dislikes be the foundation of a new search — from finding the perfect buyer to locating your next perfect dream home.

In the world of luxury, it takes more than just searching for a home on the internet, so allow our extensive network of connections, strong marketing skills, and exceptional knowledge open the right doors.

EXCLUSIVE LUXURY NETWORKS

STRATEGIC ONLINE SEARCH TECHNOLOGY

INSIDE LOCAL KNOWLEDGE & CONNECTIONS

SUPERIOR PROSPECTING CAPABILITIES

DEFINING YOUR GOALS & OPTIONS In the search for your perfect home, we must define the goals and reassess your requirements so that we approach the search with complete insight. This will enable the creation of an appropriate action plan and expected timeline. ÍÍ Where are you thinking of moving — local or out of state? ÍÍ Do you have a budget? ÍÍ What do you and your family need from your next home? ÍÍ Are you looking for a turnkey or renovation property? ÍÍ What are your essential requirements during our search? ÍÍ Are there additional financial considerations? ÍÍ When is the ideal time for you to move?

This information will enable a qualified search. Equally, it is important to ensure that we research the true value of homes and that their current selling price reflects an amount that the property is “worth” to you.

LOCATING THE RIGHT PROPERTY When helping you look for a property, we will make recommendations based on our experience and local knowledge, in addition to having access to a variety of technology, a wide network of area agents, and homes not yet on the market. A comparison chart and thorough objective inspection of each home, combined with such factors as market data and resale potential, will help in narrowing your search. By building a checklist, we can better evaluate each home and review together the important criteria of homes visited.

And when you find that perfect home, we will help negotiate the best offer based on the condition of the home, length of time it’s been on the market, activity, location, and urgency of the seller. Ultimately, we will protect and represent your best interests.

NOTES

On behalf of myself and my team, I’d like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to present this preview of the marketing services we can offer you and your property.

I’d be pleased to assist you with the sale of your present home and the purchase of your next home, and the next one, because I’m not just providing a service, I’m building a relationship. Please let me know when I can be of service.

Call me before you make any important real estate decisions; you’ll be glad you did.
