      <image:title>Blog - Welcome to Your Agent Guide! - Welcome to Your Agent Guide!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m very excited to begin this journey of helping people find their great agent. Having the right real estate agent on your side when you’re buying or selling a home is a very important thing, but so often I see people working with an agent that is not great. Having the wrong agent can not only be very stressful and at times scary, but it can also be very expensive. The purpose of Your Agent Guide is to provide assistance in navigating through all of the many agents out there to find the great ones, all at no cost to you!</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - Before I get started I’d like to say, thank you for visiting Your Agent Guide and checking us out! My name is Avin Carroll - no relation to Pete - and I have a passion for helping people. For most of my adult life I have worked in some form of customer service type job and I have always found the greatest reward in helping. When I worked in the cellular industry it was getting that phone to work, the one that hadn’t worked for days that I enjoyed the most. As a distribution manager it was the rush of successfully rebuilding a route to squeeze in an emergency delivery that made the long hours worth it. Working in IT my greatest joy comes from those moments when I explain a feature or application and I see the understanding in the person’s eyes. For me, in all my work, the thing that drives me forward is service.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Of all my jobs though, one of the most rewarding was as an admin for a real estate team. As you can imagine, helping people to find their home, or in passing on their home to its next family, is very fulfilling. It was in this role that I learned how important working with the right real estate agent truly is. More frequently than I should have, I saw that the agents we were working across from would miss things and if not for the work we did the transaction would’ve not closed on time, or possibly failed to close. I’ve heard countless horror stories of people losing thousands of dollars because their agent missed something in a contract or lost thousands on their home sale because their home was priced incorrectly. This is made that much more frustrating when you realize that the agent that made a mistake was paid the same or similar commission as the agent that knocked it out of the park. Why would someone pay a mediocre or even a terrible agent the same as they would pay a great one? Because, most of us don’t know what to look for when hiring an agent. This is why I started Your Agent Guide; to help people find their talented, professional, and successful agents. Agents that time and again have proven that they can sell your home for top dollar; that over and over again win bids for a new home even when the market is competitive. These are the same agents that do so well for their clients that they don’t need to fill your mailbox with mailers or voicemail with cold calls, because they do such amazing work for their clients the referrals alone are enough. — Avin Carroll, Founder</image:caption>
