We don't list houses, We sell them!

"We don't list houses, We sell them!" That's one of the many motto's of our team. If we can sell your home without our sign ever hitting the ground we are just as happy as if 100 people drive by and see it. Why you ask? Because it's not about us its about getting you top dollar in the fastest possible time frame. Let me explain.

Listing a house is what lazy agents do. They fill out the paper work, they put a sign in the yard, they put a lock box on and they put it on the MLS and they pray. (If you have been reading our blog for a bit its the Five "P" approach) They expect someone will come along and buy it. They know the home may be over priced, they know the wall paper in the half bath is horrible and the mauve carpet and mirrored ceiling in the master are putrid. But they figure "it is what

it is" and the house will sell eventually. (Yeah with several price reductions)


Selling a home is what we do. It's not easy to tell a new mother to take down all the pictures of her child on the fridge, or that mural your grandmother painted in the dining room is awful, or that your house smells like cat and dog, or that the house is not decorated very well. But you know what? It's the hard stuff that sells homes. Of course both the "listing" house and the "selling" house will go on the MLS and REALTOR.com, but one person can only buy one house and who's do you think will win? The mirrored ceiling or the clean, bright, well decorated one?

It's the little hard stuff that makes a difference and fortunately we are well prepared to hurt your feelings in a good way. Why? Because you want your home sold, not listed!
