Specialized Knowledge is one of the most valuable resources in the world. Fortunately for you, I have specialized knowledge. I know how to sell homes for more money. I know precisely where to “tap the valve” and solve any problems that come up. In fact, you will usually make more money when you hire me to sell your house. The increase in profits is usually enough to pay my commission, and then some. Here’s how you make money hiring me. I save you countless hours chasing down surveys, handling inspections, etc. What is your time worth? If it isn’t worth anything, you should sell your home yourself, but I know your time is valuable. I know from personal experience that most homeowners are successful, hardworking individuals. You have probably spent many hours developing specialized knowledge in your profession. An outsider might look at what you do and think it’s easy. Only you know the intricacies of what your profession requires to be done well. Run the numbers. Consider the valuable insight I’ve shared with you. When you are ready to hire a highly skilled, professional real estate agent, give me a call. I’ll be glad to help you.
