Ian Dixon is a REALTOR with Home.Heart.Community. at Keller Williams Real Estate in Langhorne. He grew up in Levittown, lives in Fairless Hills, and invests in the same market he sells in.
Before real estate I was doing landscaping and hardscaping for Foraker Landscaping here in Bucks County. It was grueling work and I eventually decided it was not what I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing.
I had not gone to college, so my options were limited. My mom was already in the real estate space and I figured I would give it a shot. I fell in love with the work and the people fast enough that I knew pretty quickly this was going to be the career I kept.
I grew up in Levittown and I have been in Fairless Hills for four years now. Outside of work I spend as much time with my family as I can. There is me, my fiancee Hope, and our two boys. We do Sunday dinner with the in-laws every week and we are always looking for something fun going on around the area.
I am an investor myself, so I understand the financial side of this on a deeper level than a lot of agents do. I know how the decision you make today lands on you in five or ten years, and I will walk you through that math before you sign anything.
The other thing is patience. I am big on communication and I do not push. I want you to understand every option in front of you and never feel weird about asking a question, even the ones you think are obvious.
If a house is not right for you, I will say so. You are going to live there, not me.
My first sale over a million, which is a genuinely niche market around here. There are only so many buyers at that price, so the marketing strategy had to be aggressive and it had to be right the first time.
We listed at $400,000 and got two offers, both right at asking. I worked them against each other and got my sellers to $415,000. That fifteen grand came purely out of the negotiation.
“He did not put any pressure on us to buy fast. He guided us through the tours and made sure the houses we put offers on were homes we actually wanted to own. His insight into the houses we toured really helped us figure out what we actually wanted.”
“He helped us sell my mother-in-law's house very quickly and at full asking price. He took the time to explain every step, which let us make informed decisions without ever feeling pressured. His calm demeanor made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable.”
This goes straight to him, not to the general inbox. Even if you are just thinking out loud.
