Meet Ward Shifman

I have been a full-time Realtor with over ten years of experience in real estate sales, corporate leasing, relocations, real estate marketing and property management. I understand the importance of strong customer care, effective listening and communication, as well as effective marketing strategies. Today's real estate market demands that you and your property receive the attention of a full-time real estate professional that understands current buying trends, pricing, and the impact of changing technology. I am dedicated to giving my clients the highest level of professional and personalized service based upon my experience, knowledge and integrity.

For the last two years I have been number one in sales in my office. This past year I made it to the top 10 in Massachusetts and in the top 100 out of 1400 agents throughout the company. I was the first agent to join William Raveis in Massachusetts, and while William Raveis is newer to this market we have been in existence for over 30 years. In being the new kid, William Raveis Real Estate realized that they would have to be more aggressive with their marketing than the competition. They also provide agents with tools that help sell real estate and hours of training to learn everything from negotiating to real estate law.

More than anything else, I want my clients to be able to trust me. Relationships mean everything to me. My business is a business of relationships and people, and I believe that when you lose sight of the people involved you also lose sight of their goals. It’s of utmost importance to me that my clients’ goals be my priority. I strive to see my clients happy, to see their goals achieved, and to see them as winners.

Working With An Agent >An Artful Compromise

People who try to sell their own homes begin to appreciate the expertise of professional real estate agents as soon as their first offer comes in. They want to sell their home, and they have found prospects who want to buy. But what happens next?

When the negotiating process begins, things can get "sticky". First, there are personalities involved, and real estate transactions can be stressful and challenging. The buyers may seem unreasonable if they make an offer that is considerably less than the sellers are willing to accept. At that point the buyers may become offended by the sellers' attitude.

When professional real estate agents are involved, the process is much less adversarial. The two parties see very little of each other until the rough edges have been smoothed out and there has been a meeting of the minds. Good real estate agents know how to keep personalities out of the transaction and to help both sides reach a mutually agreeable compromise.
