Introduction

Personal touches. First, great Agents are always busy so I apologize if you get my voicemail but I always return every call the minute I am free and my mailbox is NEVER full. I love the smiles on my clients faces when they sell their home or buy one. Nothing matters to me more than the smiles. A lot of Agents are in it for the money. I’m in it for the relationships, the referrals and your trust. I work as hard for a $100,000 home as I do a $5 million dollar home. But it’s only about my clients. Their satisfaction is job one!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

unfold fold
I don't charge for my services upfront. I am paid when you buy a home or I sell your home, from the proceeds of the sale. Until then, everything is out of my pocket, my expense. So I do ask for exclusivity in being your agent so I may eventually get paid when you buy/sell.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

unfold fold
Selling, I meet at the house. I perform a walk through to see if there is any special nuances with the home. I let you thumb through my prelisting booklet and then we agree on the selling price of your home. Buying: please have your pre-qualification from your lender done first. That's mandatory across the board. Nobody will accept an offer with knowing you can actually get a mortgage and for how much. Then I send MLS listings via email directly to you to review and select the homes you want to go see. I set them up, we go see them and I type the offer for the home you wish to buy.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

unfold fold
Mandatory State regulated classes, tests, exams and continuing education credits as required by the State for my license. I am also owner of several companies that deal with real estate as well as life. I have life experience on both sides of the table on multiple deals. Our first 12 months, we did 3.6 million dollars in sales.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
My wife & I own and operate 4 real estate companies in addition to working with Executive Real Estate. Executive has been around over 30 years and is an elite member of Leverage Global Partners, only privately owned, elite agencies are accepted, allowing us to reach across the U.S. or anywhere around the globe.

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
Every walk of life. I've sold homes for $10,000 on up to homes over $800,000 and work just as hard for either price because its not about the money, its about the relationships I make along the way. The trust and respect I get from you and the future referrals that brings. It’s important to know the difference, however, between an appraisal and a CMA. Appraisals by name require a licensed Appraisor. If you’re interested in knowing simply what your house could sell for is not an appraisal. That I can do. It’s a comparable market analysis ( CMA ) . If you request an appraisal, I will have to pass. I’m not a licensed appraisor. I am licensed agent in CT & MA.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

unfold fold
I was asked to sell a home that no other agent could sell for over a year and a half. I advertised it, had over 60 people attending my open house and had 3 offers in the following days after the open house. Home sold.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

unfold fold
For Agents, look for one who doesn't think you need them. Hire a agent who remembers you're the customer. I see too many lazy agents who think they've made it and can treat people anyway they want because they'll still do OK. Use caution when an Agent tries to tell you, the buyer, a home you like is over priced. Then you should make an offer based on what you think it’s worth. Agents say this to “steer” buyers to their own listings so they can get a higher commission. Insist your agent do what you want, not what they want. Treating people the way I'd want to be treated is mission one!

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

unfold fold
what do they need before calling me? A lender's pre-qualification. Not a pre-approval because that is based on what info you punch into the computer without ever running your credit. I've seen people lose deposits because their offer was accepted but after the lender finally ran the credit report, they couldn't get them the mortgage. Time was lost, money, etc. Do the steps in order so you don't lose money. Ask me. Your questions are free.
