OFFER
Writing the Offer In today’s technologically advanced society, it is vitally important to have a huge influence online, primarily through social media. Humanity’s desire to connect with one another has opened up so many marketing possibilities that simply didn’t exist 10 years ago. Many agents have capitalized on this forward thinking, while others are still left doing their standardized marketing that simply can’t keep up and does not utilize every online resource. Jeffrey exhausts his online resources and capabilities to ensure he reaches a vast number of potential buyers who’s criteria is in line with your home.
Home Inspections You can do many things to increase the appeal of your property and to create a lasting impact on potential buyers. Keep your landscape pristine, and adding creative touches to your yard which helps with its curb appeal. Simple upgrades such as window repairs, polishing the doorknobs, and a fresh coat of paint will help. Keep your property uncluttered, sweet-smelling and well-lit from top-to-bottom. Pay attention to details: put away the kitty litter, place a vase of fresh flowers near the entryway, pop a batch of cinnamon rolls in the oven, have your carpets cleaned. Jeffrey will scan the property before it is listed for sale to see how you can improve its overall appeal. More tips can be found online at www.jeffreycoxrealestate.ca

CLEINTS
Jeffrey’s Client Testimonials We were referred to Jeffrey when we were looking to relocate from Fort McMurray. We are very appreciative for Jeffrey’s help in finding us the perfect home for our busy family! Jeffrey is extremely professional, he helped us through some stressful moments, staying calm, collected and encouraging throughout our whole experience. Jeffrey has so much patience, he addressed all of our questions, concerns and needs quickly and professionally. I really feel that Jeffrey went above and beyond for our family and genuinely was invested in helping us find the right house for our family. It was especially appreciated that he understood that travelling with a baby meant unexpected stops to change a diaper or snack times and never rushed us and even took his turn to entertain our baby daughter when she started to tire out. I highly recommend Jeffrey if you are looking for a Real Estate Agent in Calgary that is knowledgeable, will work hard for you, and is genuine in character and eagerness to help your family find the best home on the market. Thank-you so much Jeffrey - it was such a pleasure to meet you and we will definitely use your services again if we ever relocate within Calgary! - Bernice McAusland
Jeffrey’s Client Testimonials Jeff was recommended as a selling agent to my wife and I. Despite a strong referral, I am skeptical of working with individuals whom I don’t know personally. Shortly after speaking with Jeff over the phone, he’d arranged a marketing package, with professional photographs, and a visit of our home. Jeff’s personable demeanour and professional appearance quickly assuaged any preconceptions and worries I’d had. Jeff was firm on his strategy for the open houses and marketing. Jeff landed us a firm offer within 20 days of listing. He then navigated us through the closing process with confidence; not once did my wife or I wonder what the next steps were. For a young realtor, Jeff exhibits the professionalism of a seasoned pro. He understands Calgary market dynamics, which he and I discussed at length during the selling process, and he is well-versed in Calgary’s neighbourhoods and communities. I strongly recommend Jeff as a listing agent, though I am sure he would be equally as suited to helping you find a new home. P.S. He’s also an ardent lover of Village Ice Cream, so be sure to buy him a cone or salted caramel iced cream sandwich after he seals the deal on your property! - The Harmers Jeffrey Cox comes highly recommended by two very satisfied sellers in West Hillhurst. The seller of our property had to believe that there was one specific buyer for our beautifully fully renovated duplex. He really listened to us as we described the fine details of our quality upgrades and went directly to the buyers, finding a purchaser at a fair price and in an incredibly short time. Jeffrey was immediately responsive to our needs and communications every single time. Jeffrey is a respectful, hard working professional. He is fun and highly competent in the advanced technological environment. He uses all technologies to expedite every phase of the buying & selling processes. We are very pleased and will definitely engage Jeffrey in all our future transactions. - Glenn Wolfe
