When we decided to sell our home we considered several agencies and agents. The expression "you only get one chance to make a first impression" rings true in many applications, and none so important as selling your home. The "first impression" we got from Kevin was that he knew his stuff. He was informed of trends in the housing market and what would sell and what hindered sales. Factors such as recent home sales, value of homes compared to what peoples hearts told them their worth all played into our decision to list with Kevin. His approach was not fast paced and had no high pressure tactics like that of a used car salesman of years gone by. His attitude was genuine and honest. He advised us of what we could do to increase the value of our home and what would make for a realistic sale. His years in the industry and his network of contacts played a key role in our home selling in a very short period of time, and over asking.
His response to questions either via email, text, or phone calls was prompt. Once Kevin indicated he was 'our agent', that meant he was our agent. During business hours or after hours Kevin got back to us with answers to our questions. Kevin is not the average 9 to 5 person. Without sounding cliche, Kevin does go above and beyond what you would expect a realtor to do. People often say that they don't need someone to sell their home. That is true. But people who do not have access to markets other than locally are limiting their exposure to many other facets where their home could be seen by potential buyers.
Multi media and international exposure are one aspect of what Kevin does to expose your home to as many possible buyers. Listing your home and trying to do it yourself may save you a few dollars but at what cost to you ? Are you able to put in the time and effort that is required or would a seasoned professional be able to do it better, faster, and get great results.
Is the agency or agent working alone or do they have a dedicated team working together in order to sell your home for what you want is a question you should ask a potential realtor.
Claims and hype are offered by almost everyone trying to become your real estate agent. The question is how true are those claims ? Kevin's initial impression was good, it got better as the relationship evolved and became great in very short order. I was skeptical at first thinking it would take months to sell our home due to recent market trends and a slight downturn in the industry. This skepticism was quickly put to rest when we had three offers presented after a very short length of time on the market.
If I were to sum up in a few words what Kevin brings to the table as a realtor they are honesty, integrity, and professionalism.
A no nonsense straight forward approach to selling your home.
