Alfred tells people who are considering selling their home that it is a, "time oriented sale. You define the timeframe and I bring in the universe of buyers that create a competitive atmosphere and the concept of scarcity, even in a saturated market.” Alfred believes that looking at all residential real estate as time oriented sales creates a sense of urgency. He is determined to achieve success in a reasonable period of time for each seller. Market statistics show that if the listing sells in under 90 days it is almost certain to sell for more than if it were to sit on the market for a longer period of time.
