"Mary and Tony did a great job selling our Sugarloaf house. Their constant communication was key as we were already on the west coast.

They also recommended vendors to make repairs and improvements that made the process of preparing our home very easy. We highly recommend Floyd Real Estate Group if you are considering selling or buying!“

Their personal responsiveness, advice, and negotiating skill made the difference which resulted in selling my home during a lull in the market. Mary and Tony are delightful to work with in addition to being very skilled in marketing and negotiating for the benefit of their clients!"

★★★★★

"Working with Mary and Tony was a delight. They recommended resources to help with the upgrades and updates we wanted to make in the house prior to listing. They were extremely professional and timely. Mary and Tony took us through the process step by step and offered important feedback when needed. They not only sold our house quickly but also got the price we were looking for. Mary and Tony looks out for your interests as the seller or the buyer. We feel very blessed to have had Floyd Real Estate Group handle our property for us."

★★★★★

"Mary and Tony were extremely helpful during the process of selling our home. We had relocated to another city which required us to the sell our home remotely.

BUY BEFORE YOU SELL

Floyd Real Estate Group has partnered with Homeward to offer a program that allows you to buy the home you want before you sell your current home.

THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO BUY YOUR NEXT HOME.

If you're like most people, you need to sell your old home before you can buy a new one. Now you have a better option. You can make a cash offer on the new home you love and then sell your current home.

1. BUY FIRST, SELL SECOND

Avoid the risk and hassle of selling first so you can move on your terms and timeline.

2. SHOP WITH CONFIDENCE

Enjoy the competitiveness of a cash offer when buying your new home.

3. CLOSE FASTER

Close and move in faster with a cash purchase on your new home.

This process made buying and selling super easy! I loved that I could find my dream home before selling. It took the pressure off.

We moved into our new home without being stuck with two mortgages. The value relative to the cost is outstanding.

The builder refused our contingent offer so we used “Buy Before You Sell.” We would not have our house without this program.

COMPASS COLLECTIONS

Called the Pinterest of real estate, this innovative visual workspace allows clients, family and friends to collaborate on potential properties in real-time. Collections also allows us to stay in sync with our client’s interests so we can work faster together. In markets with multiple offers, speed is critical to secure the right property. You can easily organize prospective homes, centralize your discussions, and monitor the market by receiving immediate status and price updates. compass.com/collections

COMPASS CARES

Compass Cares contributes substantial funds and skills-based volunteering to local organizations, with 100% of real estate transactions resulting in a donation to the local community.

Floyd Real Estate Group was honored that Compass made a substantial donation to Rainbow Village, a wonderful organization in Duluth, Georgia that support homeless single mothers and helps them with a path forward in life.

LAUNCH MARKETING SYSTEM

Our exclusive Launch Marketing System is the most effective approach to achieve the highest sales price and best terms!

STAGE I: DEVELOPING THE UNIQUE STORY OF THE PROPERTY

Step 1: Working with the seller, we identify the most unique and interesting aspects of the property, community and lifestyle.

Step 2: We bring that story to life in photography, online marketing, social media marketing, print materials and showing experiences. Our beautiful printed and bound Home Books will impress Buyers and their loved ones!

STAGE II. BUILDING DEMAND BEFORE SHOWINGS

Step 3: We launch the listing as “Coming Soon” in FMLS, Georgia MLS and Compass.com to generate awareness to real estate agents with potential Buyers.

Step 4: Several days later, we convert the listing to Active which generates awareness to consumers on over 100,000 real estate websites. Showings are scheduled to start 2-4 days later. People want what they cannot have! This drives Buyers crazy and helps fuel a showing frenzy.

LAUNCH MARKETING SYSTEM

Our exclusive Launch Marketing System is the most effective approach to achieve the highest sales price and best terms!

STAGE III: SHOWING EXPERIENCE/ POSITIONING VALUE

Step 5: We strategically plan the showing experience to highlight the most compelling attributes of the property. This includes route planning and careful attention to the senses of smell, touch, sound and sight. We make visitors wear shoe covers or take off their shoes to emphasize how the owner keeps the property clean. The goal is to create memorable experiences.

Step 6: We host showings in person to communicate the key values points and position for expected price and terms. We provide our exclusive “term sheets” for guidance to the Buyers and their agent.

STAGE IV: NEGOTIATING THE HIGHEST PRICE AND BEST TERMS

Stage 7: Once we receive offers, we set up a “highest and best” with final bidders. Again, we give guidance on making a winning offer. This escalates the price and more favorable terms. We also verify financing and proof of funds based on the offers.

Stage 8: Congratulations, you have a winning bidder! Now, we begin the “contract to close process” including inspections & repairs, appraisals, HOA letters and monitoring “clear to close” for financing. We personally drive the successful completions of these milestones and do not outsource to less skilled resources.
