As a professional, I work on an exclusive basis . Which means as your exclusive agent, I have an obligation to you , to do everything I can to smooth the process of selling your home.

I am their advocate, the professional they are turning to for help. Ask any seller and the answer is the same , they want an agent they can not only trust but will do all they can to get the most money for their home with the fewest headaches along the way.

Because some home sellers know so little about the sales process, it is easy enough to promise but in the end not fulfil the contract. this lead to not only a property getting “stale “ but also lost of time and having to mark down the property by a huge number later to make it “fresh” again . Here are the 5 Services that I provide :

Strange as it may sound, giving your listings to more agents, does not necessarily mean, that more are working for you

In fact, it becomes the opposite, though, its you who pay the commission . To a non exclusive agent, the buyer is now his main client, not you. To close the deal, in competition with other agents, he could offer to get a lower price for the buyer, in order to secure the deal. Which means, you loose the price control and you could end up selling for a much lower amount. As an exclusive agent, the price control will be with you and me .

Pricing a home properly is bar none the most important thing I can do as a Realtor. That is a product of my research where I look at the attributes of the property, the current units in the market, length of time each property is sold and average units sold within say 6 months period.

For example, if on average, only 1 unit is sold for a particular estate and there are 15 units available and yours is priced higher with less attractive attributes, chances of your unit being sold are low .

Understanding how to price a home is one of my most valuable skills and not telling a seller what they want to hear to get a listing. As a seller, I should be aware that pricing a home too high can cause major issues in the sale. Buyers may avoid it, and if they avoid the home long enough, it will develop a bad reputation. Eventually, I will be forced to drop the price to be competitive in the marketplace, but by that point, I would have to drop the price by a bigger amount . This where being an exclusive agent, I am able to “control” your price

Even with a competitive price, buyers will be likely to low-ball I after a period of time. Ultimately, I may sell the house for less than what I would have if I had priced it correctly, to begin with and the seller loses out

Marketing is one area where I shine . Its not just about taking pictures with your handphone . I take professional pictures with a “real “ camera . After that, its not just about putting pictures in 1 portal or putting a classified add and praying someone sees it. In todays, internet savvy market place . I have a multi dimension, multi prong plan, where I market properties through :

Depending on the situation, I might use all channels, see link below on my internet face book campaigns and you tube site

Studies showed that , when an agent works on an exclusive basis , owners are able to get better deals .The best agents will go out of their way to fight hard for the best terms and conditions for their clients. This, after all, is what I am paid to do.

A great Real Estate agent will never think about their pocket book but what makes the most sense for their client.

Real Estate agents who advocate for their clients are always striving for the best possible terms for the transaction. Everything in Real Estate contracts is negotiable, good agents when warranted don’t hesitate to counter offer with a price that is more favourable to their client. They have the negotiation skills necessary to get the job done right.

If a client wants adjustments to contingency dates or closing times, these should be negotiated appropriately. A good agent will understand the real value of each element to the customer. Pushing to get clients everything they possibly can is what the best of the best do on a regular basis.

Selling a house involves a lot of work. There are so many little details that must be taken care of, which is one of the big selling points for using my services. As the closing draws near, I will need to take care of all the loose ends for you

Selling a home can be very stressful, but when you have a top shelf agent in you corner who is taking care of the little details, the burden can be eased just a bit. 

 

Hopefully, You now understand whats the values that I can provide and what to expect from me . If you are concerned about being locked in a contract when an agent is unsatisfactory in any way, you can always stipulate a shorter contract period such as 30 or 60 days. The buyer is then free to look for another agent at the end of that contract period. A buyer can also request for a guarantee regarding cancellation – that he can be released from the agreement under certain conditions. Most real estate agents don’t also want to work with buyers who are not happy with their services. What else , can u look for ?

• Honesty above all else. The Realtor should put your needs before their own.
• Professionalism. From the dress to manners, the agent you hire is the extension of your property to everyone they encounter in the home sale journey.
• Excellent communication skills –I stay in touch with their clients regularly
•  Strong negotiator –You want a tiger, not a pussy cat.
• Creative marketer – remember You are not looking for the agent that does, just the bare minimum. Is there a comprehensive marketing plan?
• Exceptional company and personal reputation – is the agent and the firm they work for looked up to as leaders?
• Experience and proven results – does the agent possess the knowledge and expertise to guide I in unforeseen circumstances? Do they sell in all types of markets? Are they
• successful in all kinds of markets and not just when homes are selling like hotcakes?
