New Approach To Real Estate Is A Big Hit With Buyers And Sellers
January 31st, 2008 Categories: Real Estate News
In an industry famous for high pressure and aggressive marketing practices, we would like to offer you an alternative…a road less traveled if you will. My name is Sue Johnson, and I have what I consider to be an innovative, client friendly, “No Nonsense – No Hassles” approach to real estate.
When I get home from work, the last thing I want to do is answer some phone call from a salesperson, so I decided that even though that kind of prospecting is common in this business, I’m just not going to be a party to it. Much of our system is based on delivering prospective buyers and sellers a variety of absolutely FREE services.
For example, when a seller calls and wants to know how much they should put their home on the market for, they don’t get the typical “please-list-with-me” presentation from us. Instead, we prepare a free, Comprehensive Price Analysis, and give the sellers our honest evaluation of what the home should sell for, and how long we feel it will take to sell. Nothing more, nothing less.
We just don’t think people today want to hear a big sales pitch. And our growing client list seems to indicate that a lot of area buyers and sellers agree. Our claim is basically buyers just want to find the right home, and get moved in, and that sellers just want to know how much money they’re going to get, and when they’re going to get it. We try to look at things from the buyer and seller’s point of view.
If you’re thinking of buying a home you may want to give us a call Toll Free at (877) 571-2289. Our team will be happy to visit with you about your alternatives, provide you with whatever information you’d like, including detailed information on specific properties, financing options, and anything else you’d like.
Or, if you’re thinking about selling a home, you can call our office and arrange to have us personally visit your home to discuss the possibilities. We will also provide you with a list of comparable properties, as well as a detailed estimate of how much money you’ll net as a result of the sale.
But you won’t get a sales pitch, it’s a no strings attached proposition. Our approach is certainly unique in the real estate industry, and judging by the way buyers and sellers are calling, we’re obviously doing something right.
For more information, call (877) 571-2289 or email me at suejohnson@windermere.com
