FOR OUR SELLER CLIENTS:
Whether you are selling your first property, or are a seasoned veteran at doing so, the door to dream home selling team would like to discuss your home selling goals. Many people think that anyone with a real estate license will ultimately get the same results for them. It is common for consumers to do research before hiring other licensed professionals like their doctors, attorney, or financial planner, but look no further than ads to determine who will sell what may be their most expensive asset. Did you know that Michigan, as early as 2014, a real estate licensed is obtained by taking a 40 hours class (no perquisites needed), then passing a test? Also, according to the National Association of Realtors Member Profile at the end of 2013, the average licensed agent in the US performs 12 transactions per year, totally closed sales volume of $1.5M with an annual investment of $590 in marketing and $690 in technology. We would appreciate discussing our current statistics with you, so feel free to ask us when we meet. Money is and always will be attracted to difference, yet real estate is a sea of ‘’sameness’’. If you think about it, aren’t most real estate ads, mailers, signs and even business cards the same? Here is some refreshing news. I could not be more opposite. My focus in on YOU, not us! Our foundation is that simple. We incorporate a comprehensive marketing plan in-conjunction with a number of proven strategies. This combination is our roadmap for homeowner after homeowner to get maximum result s and add the most value possible. The role of master marketer and someone who will truly hit out of the park for you goes well beyond just putting a sign in the yard, entering your home into the local MLS, and hoping that another broker or agent will sell it. It is estimated that effective marketing changes every 90 days. That mean to get maximum exposure and top dollar for your property, the old school ways of marketing and selling just do not cut it. And, what worked last season, or even last month may not be working right now. DO YOU want a someone who understands and adapt to the changing marketing methods and strategies? Hopefully so, and so do I. DO YOU want someone you hire to be accountable and transparent? DO YOU want to avoid long-term contracts and even be provided service guarantees? DO YOU want a negotiator who will strengthen your position while not alienating the prospective purchaser? Selling a home is a process, and not an event, it is estimated that there are over 110 variables that go into that successful marketing and sale of a home.

The door to dreams home selling team would like to discuss your home purchasing goals. The role of a buyer’s agent goes well beyond just finding the property. with the numerous online resources available today, there is access to thousands of homes for sale. It is even possible for you to estimate a property’s value using some of these resources! Now that estimate may be accurate, or worlds apart from reality, but regardless the possibility exists and technology is advancing every day.
