| WHAT MOST AGENTS DO |
WHAT SAM DOES |
| Push to get your house on the market as fast as possible. |
Get your house on the market only after we're sure your house shows as well as possible. We'll walk through your home room by room, giving you tips and checklists on what to do and what not to do to get top dollar for your property. |
| Put your house on the Multiple Listing Service, and keep their fingers crossed that someone will see it and bring a buyer. |
Before we put your house on the Multiple Listing Service, we promote your property via state-of-the-art computer/fax communications to the top area agents. Then we follow up with regular mailings and/or deliveries to them. |
| Type up, or worse, hand-write a "highlight sheet" for your house. |
We professionally print a feature sheet with a color photograph of your home for agents and buyers who view your home. |
| Run a Broker's open house and hope agents remember to show it. |
We participate in a Broker's tour of your property and get direct feedback from each agent about its appearance and sale-ability. |
| Throw an open house for the public, and hope that nosy neighbors aren't the only visitors. |
Public "open houses" don't work anymore. We seek buyers by direct mail promotions of your property, sent to the people that are targeted to buy your home for the most money. |
| Throw a classified ad in the paper. |
We mail to over 5,000 potential buyers each month. Then, our telemarketing staff follows-up directly in order to locate any potential buyers for your home. Once located, a meeting is set to pre-qualify ALL potential buyers. |
| Once you're listed, contact you occasionally, if at all. |
Every week, we'll give you a written marketing update, covering feedback from agents and their clients who have seen your home. Plus, you are informed of what we've been doing to get your house sold. |
| Sell a house they've listed about one out of three times - that's the local average. |
We sell the houses we're marketing 80 to 90 percent of the time - nearly eight out of 10 times. This is Sam's average in the past! Sam, used to be a casual renovator by hobby, and gained great experience with 5 successful renovations in the past 5 years! |
