1. Some agents use the 4-Ps of listing a home (put it in the MLS, put up a sign, place and advertisement in the newspaper and pray.
I profile buyers, price competitively, provide staging information and prepare an active and customized marketing plan.
2. For many agents, real estate is just a job…and your family is nothing more than the next paycheck.
My business is referral-based. I have taken the time to earn both the CRS and GRI designations. I work in my business, on my business and I am a student of my business.
3. While some agents have only one listing option (reduced commission or reduced listing price) I have three choices from which you may choose. I’m the only Realtor@ in Kitsap County approved to offer the SmartMove@ program.
Agents who readily reduce their commission either: (a) price above the market to make up the difference; or (b) price below the market for a fast sale. The result is multiple price reductions, reduced service and reduced leverage on your behalf.
4. When other agents learn I have a new listing they know your house has curb appeal, is properly staged and clean, is priced competitively, the condition is fully disclosed, there is a detailed homebook plus a unique VisualTour and four minute video both posted online and easily accessible to any agent or potential buyer.
5. If I agree to list your house my professional reputation is at stake so I want to ensure the job is finished on time (less than 10% of real estate sales transactions close on time).
6. When you choose me to represent you it’s because you believe I’m the person who will get the job done, not because I agreed to list your house for the highest price of all the agents you interviewed.
I don’t “buy” listings. My goal is to help you sell your house, not “test” the market.
