Selling real estate

Years ago the real estate business was successfully composed of lots of small “boutique” offices – where companies did specialize in a certain area or part of town. But computers and cell phones have changed that aspect of the real estate business. Now, what is important in selecting an agent are experience, track record, and marketing skills.

Because times have changed, no one agent can be everywhere at the same time. Let’s suppose an agent has a relocation buyer in town. For three or four days they have to be with just that one buyer, a dream scenario for the agent, but not so for you. They are unavailable to show your home, they are not available to get feedback on showings, and they aren’t available to negotiate contracts or inspection reports.

Under a team scenario , agents have five full-time Buyer Agents who only show property. They have a full-time Listings Manager whose main job is keeping you informed of activity and feedback on showings.

They have a full-time Contracts Manager whose main function is negotiating contracts. Additionally, they have two full-time Office Administrators to handle all the details of the transaction. Simply, they  can and do provide a higher level of service to our clients than most agents can even conceive of.
