This past June marked one full year at my new office, RE/MAX
Around Atlanta, and it has been my most successful year to date! Andrew and I have loved working with our new
brokers and getting to know all the new agents in our office. In particular, I have found that their
systems for processing paperwork and managing listings has helped me make my
business run more efficiently so I can spend more time focusing on the
important stuff: my clients.
Speaking of my clients, they are the BEST! I have had the pleasure of working with some
fantastic new folks while also helping out many returning clients. I have now been a Realtor for 5 years so many
of my clients that I worked with in the first few years are starting to cycle
back through as they expand their families, change jobs, and begin new life
experiences. There is nothing as
gratifying to me as when a past client comes back to me to help them with their
real estate needs again. It validates
that I am doing my job correctly, providing great service, and making lasting
relationships.
Over the past several years I have experimented with various technology
and marketing systems to help my clients, and I feel that in the past year I have
really honed in on the most effective techniques. I am using the most current and
state-of-the-art technology available to make sure my sellers have the very
best visibility on the web, while also providing a fantastic tool for following
up after showings to get invaluable feedback from other agents and their
clients. For my buyers, I now provide access
to their very own website which allows them to search all the available
listings using much better search criteria and much more current data than what
is available to the general public.
Historically, my listings sell in just 86 days and for over
96% of their list price (the Atlanta average is 6+ months). With my new systems
in place, those numbers have gotten even better! My last two listings were both previously
listed with another agent for over 6 months, with no offers. Once I took over, they both sold quickly (one
in 35 days, one in just 3 days!) and for almost full price. The combination of the services I provide,
along with my experience and dedication to getting the very best deal for my
clients, is truly unparalleled and it shows in my results!
The media has been touting a lot of doom and gloom with
regards to the real estate market over the past year, but I say, “What bad
market?” There has never been a better
time to buy with prices still low and interest rates rock-bottom. But this is also a great time to sell:
inventory is dropping and there are a lot of buyers out there! If you – or any of your friends or family –
have been thinking about buying or selling, please give me a call, I would love
to help!
