Meet Jill and Rick
Our Credentials …….. and how they benefit YOU!
- Technology – We continually seek new ways to leverage the latest technology to further expose our sellers listings to potential buyers and to communicate more efficiently and effectively with our clients in the manner they prefer.
- Marketing and Advertising - Over 90% of buyers use the Internet to search for homes for sale. We employ advanced Internet techniques to generate online interest and demand for the houses listed with us. But getting the listing where the buyers are is only half the battle. Now you have to attract the buyers and entice them to view and buy the house. Our experience in successfully marketing via the Internet and direct mail will attract “Right Buyers” to your house and deliver you the highest return.
- Education - We believe that every day provides a learning opportunity. Whether it be in the form of formal education or be evaluating how the latest government mandated changed will impact our clients or by attending a webinar on Social Media Marketing to identify new opportunities to expose our sellers homes to more potential buyers or by previewing a new home community to become knowledgeable with the builders products, all are forms of everyday learning. Knowledge that we put to work for you.
- Negotiation Skills – Whether you are buying or selling a home, you are probably dealing with your largest investment and as such it demands the skills of a Realtor® with a successful track record in negotations. We apply the negotiation techniques learned through formal training, the skills obtained from negotiating multi-million dollar contracts during our prior professional careers, coupled with the skills we have honed handling the delicate and emotional negotiations of buying or selling a home. It is this combination of training and experience that we will put to use to produce a favorable outcome of your real estate transactions.
We believe real estate is not about awards and recognition. It is only about one thing and that is serving the needs of YOU, our clients. We strive to earn your trust and the honor of the referrals of your family and friends.
