Being in the right place at the right time does not always happen! I must expose your property to the greatest number of people in the shortest period of time. The following are components of my proven success plan:
#1 IN CUSTOMER SERVICE
The #1 complaint against many agents is that they don’t return phone calls in a timely manner. I ALWAYS personally return your phone call! Whether it is 6:00 AM or Midnight, call me! If I don’t answer, I’m either with a client or on the other line. As soon as I’m done I’ll call you back, GUARANTEED!
MULTIPLE COMMISSION PROGRAMS
Two things will always be true in Real Estate: 1- Homeowners work hard to establish equity in their home, and 2- They don’t want to pay more than they have to in order to sell their home. That’s why I offer you more for less. I am not greedy and offer several proven discounts for sellers to help them save more of their equity at closing.
HIGH PROFILE INTERNET PRESENCE
More buyers are shifting towards using the internet for finding homes that fit their criteria. I not only make your home available to the local Multiple Listing Service, I put your home on more internet sites than any other Realtor in Utah.
PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
When listing a home with a Realtor, the most common concern with homeowners is that they don’t want to “tie up” their home in a listing contract for several months. I am so confident that you will be impressed with me and my services that if for any reason you choose to withdraw your listing from me, you can do so. You can list your home “For Sale by Owner” or with another Realtor the next day.
CUSTOM-MADE SIGNS AND FLYERS
I provide full-color custom yard signs and flyers for all potential buyers and Realtors. Most buyers who drive around looking at homes don’t call the phone number on the sign to find out details on your home—they want information at a glance. That’s why I design full-color custom flyers that accentuate the unique features of your home. It’s proven that color flyers sell more homes than black and white flyers or no flyers at all.
STATUS REPORTS
Throughout your listing period, I will keep you informed about neighborhood and area sales activity and I will discuss my marketing plans for selling your home. I have a 24/7 website that allows you (Seller), to sign-in and personally view the listing activity.
KEEPING YOU UPDATED
I keep you updated with your home’s progress. You will be the first to know of any changes in the market. I will promptly present and explain all offers. I also keep you informed almost daily once your home is under contract, ensuring that every deadline is met and your interest is always protected.
STRONG TO THE FINISH
Two-thirds of all homes “For Sale by Owner” fall through once they are under contract. The #1 Reason Why: They don’t know what comes next and how to protect themselves. Once a home is under contract, the race has just begun. There are many hurdles that must be jumped by certain deadlines or the contract will become null and void. EVEN IF YOU DON’T LIST YOUR HOME WITH ME, let me help you (for FREE) accomplish what you need to do and by when, to make sure your home is part of the one-third of all homes that do close “For Sale by Owner.”
