The TRUTH! Many brokerages will try and tell you that you’re better off listing with them because they are more likely to sell your home than other brokerages or better than the “average”??? Can you imagine listing your home with someone who is simply “AVERAGE”??? Your home is way too valuable for that and is going to sell because you list it with a great Realtor® - NOT because you list with a particular brokerage! What is a great Realtor® you ask? Aren’t they all pretty much the same? Are all sales people pretty much the same??? The truth is that every Realtor® is just as different as every person. Just because we all have the same access to the same information doesn’t make us all the same! You should be looking for a Realtor® who is an expert in their
local area and who is active in the marketplace (especially when they are representing you as a buyer)! If they are representing you as a seller they should have a great - website, marketing plan, communication skills, negotiating skills, marketing presentation, photography skills, etc, etc. They should also care more about YOU and what YOU want than they do about a paycheck! This list goes on and on but you have to decide on a few things that are important to YOU and then figure out what is actually going to cause your home to SELL! If you would like to ask me some questions about my marketing plan and/or my philosophy on how I conduct my business please do give me call. I’d love to hear from you! Kindest Regards, Dan (Your LOCAL Realtor®)
