“It is hard to put a price on the vibe you’re comfortable in” – An Interview with Keith Weber, realtor and neighbor

My first and lasting impression of Keith Weber is of a very intelligent person with contagious, outgoing energy! Having been a Ferndale resident for 29 years, and a real estate agent in Ferndale for almost as long, Weber certainly knows the area’s homes inside and out. His inspiration for success is deeply rooted in an appreciation of Ferndale as a city, and more importantly, as a vibrant community. Weber describes Ferndale as a place that has, “…attracted loyal, good people…it is both stable yet daring and interesting…it’s amazing what a community can come through, with all the ups and downs!”

Weber has sold over $250 million worth of residential real estate during the course of his career. Naturally, I had to ask him the secret to his success? With barely a pause, Weber responded that he believes his work
ethic is paramount. He has embraced the fast-paced nature of the market, and also has become a good photographer of homes to enhance his online listings. Whereas before, he would describe himself as a ‘faucet’ of information for his clients, now he says he has become a ‘filter.’ Technology, Weber added, has been very helpful overall, but there is a need to narrow down relevant information so that people can make informed decisions.

A key phrase Weber refers to in his line of work is: “It depends!” Everything is basically speculation, until the buyer and seller form an agreement. As he explained further, “…everybody is in a different place…they could be looking for their first home, or selling their fifth home…by being honest, and doing what people need, I can help them during this nerve-wracking time!” Weber pointed out that even though buying a home can be a ‘good’ kind of stress, it is still an event where people need real support and guidance.

I asked how he became involved in the real estate business, over 27 years ago. Weber stated simply, “I bought a house! I liked my agent, and I enjoyed looking at the homes. My first home was on Withington Street. Then, I got my real estate license. I always sensed the excitement, energy and growth in Ferndale!” As an example of the amazing change that can occur in the area, Weber brought up the Dream Cruise, which began in 1994 as a fundraising event. Loved by some, and hated by others, it has nonetheless become the world’s largest, single one-day auto event, and it all began in Ferndale!

Weber emphasized that there has been a lot of local interest in recovery from recession through various home/yard improvements. Creativity, he feels, plays a large part in this- the people of Ferndale pay real attention to their property! In order to draw more attention to many residents’ efforts, Weber has set up a new domain name: www.makehomehere.com . Soon, a website will be formed at that domain to show photos of different local home improvements. With the continued help of his long-time assistant, Chuck Hoover, Weber continues his great work in the community. In his words, “…I help people do important things, and that’s a blessing!”

If some happened with our heartiness, we believe there is a solution to any maladies in a preparation. What medicines do patients purchase online? Viagra which is used to treat impotence and other states connected to erectile dysfunction. Learn more about “sildenafil“. What men talk about “viagra stories“? The most essential aspect you should look for is “sildenafil citrate“. Such problems commonly signal other problems: low libido or erectile dysfunction can be the symptom a strong heartiness problem such as heart trouble. Causes of sexual dysfunction turn on injury to the penis. Chronic disease, several medicaments, and a state called Peyronie’s disease can also cause sexual malfunction.
