Short escrows, fixers, as-is, probate, we want it all. No equity - No problem. Behind in your payments? We have short sale negotiators and experience dealing with the foreclosure process. Need a lease back after close of escrow? Can do. We'll make sure your transaction goes smoothly and handle whatever comes up including repairs, disclosures, and inspections. No Surprises - No hassles.
Refresh & Resell
If your home is eligible for ourRefresh & Resell program, we will bring my team of contractors in and have your home looking better than you thought possible. In fact, you might like the way it looks so much, you decide not to sell. Based on the budget we agree on, we will do projects such as painting, carpets or wood floor, smooth ceilings, minor repairs including plumbing, landscaping and a host of other updates at NO upfront cost to you. Why would we do this? Because we're confident that we can sell the house for more and recoup the investment. There's a lot more to the program than we can write in this space - call or email for more details. (Not every home is eligible.)
Or Save Money of Commissions
If your house looks great right now or is too far gone to refresh and you are willing to price it to sell now, we'll reduce the commission listing rate to 4.5% or as low as 3% if we represent buyer and seller. Why try to FSBO or waste money on higher priced agents?
Listing Launch - Here's what we do to Sell Your Home
Recent studies by both the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the California Association of Realtors (CAR) have concluded that almost 90% of buyers primarily search online for their new home. Very few rely on newspaper ads, yard signs, open houses or even their Realtor to find the property they will buy. In other words, the buyers do their research independently and use the agent to write up the offer and guide them through the transaction.
In this environment, it is very important to be certain that your home will prominently stand out and be found when your buyer is doing their online search.
As soon as we launch your listing, it will be featured on the following sites:
http://www.realtor.com/
http://www.trulia.com/
http://www.craigslist.com/
http://www.zillow.com/
http://www.oodle.com/
http://www.socalistings.com/
http://www.redfin.com/
http://www.ziprealty.com/
http://www.listingbook.com/
Additionally, socalistings "tweets" (www.twitter.com/) go out to the twitter community with real estate updates daily.
YouTube
But it takes more than just featuring your listing on the above site to really make your home stand out from the crowd. I also feature a video of the home (searchable through Google) on YouTube. Here's an example: Go to www.youtube.com and do a search for 18425 Mansel. You should find the video we did for that listing. Buyers did and I received 6 offers for that property. (Previously, it was listed with another agent who couldn't sell it.)
Your Home's Unique Website
Your home has its own street address, why shouldn't it have its own web address too?
We create unique URL websites for each listing. For example, the website for the property you just viewed on YouTube is: http://www.18425-mansel.com/.
While you may see other Realtors do this, we have never seen anyone else drive traffic to those sites by having them displayed next to Google search results for Real Estate in the general area.
In other words when we have a listing in Redondo Beach, your house's website will be a search result for anyone looking for Redondo Beach Real Estate or dozens of similar search terms. This happens whether the person is on Google's site or just using the Google toolbar for search in their browser.
Reverse Prospecting
There are dozens of qualified Buyers working with other agents have logged their home search on hundreds of web sites and we have a way to reach them INSTANTLY when your home is placed on the market. The technique is called reverse prospecting, but the specific way we use technology to do it is unique. Think of the result this way: if you were selling your car, wouldn't you like to have immediate access to hundreds of buyers who were looking for one just like yours?
