Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
New Page 4
This page is designed to answer the six most common questions
home sellers and buyers may have about the Guaranteed Sold
- Home Selling Program. However, if your question is not covered
here, just fill in the form below.
Can
I hold an open house?
Yes,
as often as you wish! We will even provide the signs for you as well as the
flyers. If a buyer, not working with an agent, comes through and wants to
purchase your home you save 5% just for holding the open house yourself.
Can
I have my sign as well as yours on the property?
No.
The only marketing right you give up when you list with us is your for sale
sign. Having another sign, besides our RE/MAX Properties sign could
potentially interfere with agent showings, so we only have one sign on the
property.
Can
I run an Ad in the paper or list my house on the Internet?
Yes.
The ONLY marketing right you give up when you list with us is the yard sign.
If you find a Buyer who is not working with an agent, you have the option of
calling and letting us know you’ve sold the property. We will then
cancel the listing at no charge to you. Or, if you would like us to
represent you in the sale, we will write the contract and handle all the various
details to ensure a successful closing. You pay just 1%. This is the
same service we provide when you are paying 6%. But in this example, we
didn’t find the buyer or show them the property.
Should
I pick an area specialist to sell my home?
There
are agents who focus primarily in one geographic area or neighborhood. But
buyers come from all over the valley and country, not just that small
neighborhood. So an area specialist usually really means “listing agent” in
the area.
Years ago the real estate business was successfully composed of lots of small
“boutique” offices - where companies did specialize in a certain area or
part of town. But computers and cell phones have changed that aspect of the real
estate business. Now, what is important in selecting an agent are experience,
track record, and marketing skills.
Can
I save more money if I buy and sell through you?
Absolutely!
If you are selling more than one house or plan to sell and buy another home (new
or a resale) ask for a copy of Client Rewards Program. We will mail it
right out
Why
should I use a team vs. a single agent?
Because
times have changed, no one agent can be everywhere at the same time. Let’s
suppose an agent has a relocation buyer in town. For three or four days
they have to be with just that one buyer, a dream scenario for the agent, but
not so for you. They are unavailable to show your home, they are not
available to get feedback on showings, and they aren’t available to negotiate
contracts or inspection reports.
Under
a team scenario such as ours, we have three full-time Buyer Agents who only show
property. We have a full-time Listings Manager whose main job is keeping
you informed of activity and feedback on showings.
We
have a full-time Contracts Manager whose main function is
negotiating contracts. Simply, we can and do provide a higher level of service
to our clients than most agents can even conceive of.
