What makes the difference between an average agent and an excellent agent?
The biggest difference is whether an agent is reactive or proactive:
Most reactive agents follow the “3 P” rule : Put in MLS, Put up sign, and PRAY for a buyer.
As proactive agents we help you to:
1. PRICE your home within the market
2. PRESENT your home at its best
3. PROMOTE your home aggressively to agents, neighbors, potential buyers, and on the internet.
4. COMMUNICATE clearly and often as to the status of the process.
5. NEGOTIATE strongly on your behalf.
