Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We like to sit down with potential clients and walk them through the home buying or home selling process when possible. This gives us the opportunity to answer any questions that may arise before we begin the process. When a client is able to see the larger picture and how it will get them to their end goal the process always becomes much smoother for everyone.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Chris spent most of his career with a Fortune 100 company as the vice president over everything nobody else wanted. As such, he has a very diverse background leading nearly 1,000 people across many different processes. This experience has translated well to the real estate industry where the agent is responsible for every facet of the buying or selling process and is forced to be a "jack of all trades" in order to help the client accomplish their buying or selling goal.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
There are no standard pricing systems in real estate, everything is negotiable. The average cost to sell a home is six (6%) percent of the sale price. Pricing can go up or down depending upon the level of service requested. Most home buyers do not pay their agents a fee, the seller typically pays most of the fees in a real estate transaction.
How did you get started in this business?
We initially started in this business because we loved working with people and helping them make their home ownership dreams come true. It's very fulfilling and we enjoy working through the bumps in the road that always arise and smoothing the way for our clients.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Ask questions:
• What specifically will that agent be doing for you? What is the level of representation?
• How and how often will you be communicated with?
• Is the agent available after hours for questions that arise?
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Clients need to convey to their agent why the are moving. Agents need to understand the why in order to know how best to serve the client. Questions to ask yourself:
• Why am I moving?
• What do I like most about my current residence?
• What do I like least about my current residence?
