When you begin interviewing Realtors®, find out what they will do for you. Ask them the following questions:
WILL THEY?
1. PLACE A “FOR SALE” SIGN IN YOUR YARD?
Probably, don’t we all?
2. PLACE YOUR PROPERTY ON THE MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE?
Probably, don’t we all?
3. ADVERTISE YOUR HOME IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER?
Possibly, not all agents or real estate companies advertise in the local newspaper. The Kerr Home Team does – every week until your home sells.
4. ADVERTISE YOUR HOME IN THE HARMON HOMES MAGAZINE?
Possibly, not all agents or real estate companies advertise in the Harmon Homes Magazine. The Kerr Home Team does – every issue, in full color, until your home sells.
5. ADVERTISE YOUR HOME ON THE INTERNET?
Possibly, the Multiple Listing Service automatically places your home on the Internet. The Kerr Home Team goes a step further. Not only will your home be placed on LBAR.com and Realtor.com, it will also be placed on KerrHomeTeam.com, with the web site address placed on the yard sign and in all advertising, allowing the consumer to go directly to your property. This is a definite advantage to you, the seller, as it gives the potential buyer quick information in a format that spotlights your home. The buyer doesn’t have to search through a large number of homes in order to find yours possibly becoming distracted or even interested in another property he or she may find while searching.
6. IS YOUR AGENT A MEMBER OF THE “MILLION DOLLAR CLUB” AND DO THEY SEND A DIRECT MAIL PIECE INTRODUCING YOUR HOME TO CENTRAL KENTUCKY’S TOP PRODUCERS?
Probably not. Statistics show that in the past the top 20% of agents sold 80% of the homes. This has changed. Updated statistics show that 10% of agents sell 90% of the homes! Amazing, isn’t it? We will make sure the other top agents know about your property.
7. WILL YOUR AGENT HOLD AN OPEN HOUSE?
Possibly. Open Houses are a great source of prospects. Just make sure your agent is focused on selling your home and not just looking for prospects to possibly sell elsewhere. When we hold an Open House – our number one goal is to sell your home.
8. DOES YOUR AGENT HAVE A PERSONAL CLIENT CARE MANAGER?
A personal Client Care Manager is critical in the real estate industry today. Top agents rely on their Client Care Manager to help them keep track of their business and service their clients. Our Client Care Manager, Katie Rowan is a licensed agent who has been involved in all aspects of the real estate industry. Katie is well qualified to answer questions and assist not only us, but also my clients in all areas of real estate.
9. HOW LARGE IS YOUR RELOCATION DEPARTMENT?
Relocation is a tremendous source of buyers for your property. Our relocation department has four full-time salaried employees who work with local businesses on a daily basis.
10. HOW ACCESSIBLE ARE YOU?
This is a biggie! Isn’t it frustrating to always get a recorder or voice mail? We have a cell phone that we carry with us constantly. We welcome any phone calls of questions that will help you feel more comfortable with your real estate transaction, you can call Teri Kerr at 859-983-8811, Jesse Kerr at 859-229-1763 or our full time Client Care Manager, Katie Rowan at 859-514-5433.
