thinking about selling?
Here at All The Best Real Estate, we have been very fortunate to have helped many people through a tough market in 2024. But make no mistake: The dead of winter and early spring were problematic for both buyers and sellers alike. So, if you have been considering offering your home, building lot, or acreage for sale, now might be a good time to give us the opportunity to help.
One reason we have had such success may be that, as a business (“way back when”), we offered full-color brochures four full years before the rest of the industry decided it was a good idea.
I also decided in 2004 that I commit to never representing another seller, regardless of the type of property, without including a FREE CUSTOM VIDEO with every new listing in order to help others decide whether making a delightful trip to this area is worth their time, since most of our buyers come fout of this area.
I was never so naïve as to believe someone might buy buy a property from a video, but what I have learned to be true is that if they don’t see something on their screen that piques their interest and motivates them to make a long trip here, I have just saved them and me about three hours of our lives.
And finally, since 2004, I have never written a representation agreement with a buyer or seller without including this one clause:
* * * * Either party may cancel this agreement, except for commissions already earned, by simply giving notice of such intent in writing to the other party.* * * *
Like any relationship, business or personal, we agree to work together because each of us benefits from the other person’s role in the transaction.
But if we don’t believe in and trust one another, just as in real life, we each need to shake hands and move on with our lives. In my entire real estate career, I’ve only ever been fired twice, and I have fired two parties. But no one who has ever been involved in a relationship with me in a real estate transaction has ever felt handcuffed by a piece of paper.
And with All The Best Real Estate, they never will.
