The Power of a Personal Touch

A personal touch can go a long way in a competitive real estate market. Here’s what I mean.

There’s a lot of power in a personal touch. 

This afternoon, we had a bully offer come in, which is a preemptive offer that comes in before the offer date. The listing is down on the beaches, and everyone wants to make an offer on it. 

The power of the personal touch comes this afternoon as one of the agents has met with his clients to prepare a letter from the buyers. They wrote it up themselves and included a photograph of their family to talk about how much they love the property and how it’s a perfect fit for them and how they fell in love with it. 

“

There’s a lot of power in a personal touch.

”

Sure enough, the seller who said no to all previous negotiations is now open to a conference call to discuss the offer. Remember, if an offer gets stuck, a personal touch can really help move it along. We see it happen over and over again.

If you have any questions about other things you can do to make an offer on a home stand out, give me a call or send me an email. I’d be happy to help you!

Today I’m coming to you from the Concord Season’s Condominium.

This is a pre-construction project that won’t go public for another three days. One of my clients is in the office right now getting a great deal on a unit before the condo is available to the public. She will get some amazing incentives as far as finishes, amenities, and bonuses.

If you are interested in a pre-construction deal or a pre-construction project, let me know. I work on these every month. You get the advantage of picking and choosing your unit before the building is even available to the public.

You get to choose your unit before the building goes public.

Some new clients just hired me on the spot to help them find a home in this crazy seller’s market. Why? I showed them exactly how I’m going to find their next home. Our team helps buyers find homes within 21 days on average while most of our competition takes months to help their buyers find properties.

How do we do that in this crazy market with all these bidding wars? We actually dive into the areas our buyers are interested in with triple-line dialing technology. I can dial up to three phone numbers a time. Every day, six days a week, I contact a minimum of 30 potential sellers for our buying clients. I then arrange private showings so the seller doesn’t even have to go on the MLS!

If you know anyone struggling to find a home in today’s market, give us a call. We can help them find a home within 21 days by knocking on doors and calling potential sellers. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We would be happy to help you!

I’m in front of a home that sold last night with 11 offers. Our buyers, unfortunately, missed out on it, but that’s why I’m here checking out other homes available for sale. Our buyers want to purchase a home on this specific street.

After knocking on some doors with my notes, I scheduled four appointments next week with sellers on this block. In these meetings, I conduct a market analysis on their property and ask if they’re open to selling to our buyers. So far, three out of the four are open to selling, which makes us hopeful!

This goes to show the power of simply knocking on doors. It doesn’t have to be about bidding wars. Sometimes, it helps to go find a seller, especially if you’re a buyer frustrated because what you want isn't available to you at the moment. Avoid multiple offer situations and find someone new to list their home!

If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in the surrounding area, give me a call or send me an email. I’d be happy to help serve your local real estate needs and answer any questions you might have!

Why Are We Driving This Bus Around Toronto?

Today is a very exciting day! We are leaving our office to head out with a group of over 20 investors to show them some great properties in the Toronto area. These people are looking for properties to flip, properties to buy, and hold, and properties that haven't been selling.

Our investors are looking to profit off these homes, so we are taking them around to a lot of distressed properties in the area. Most of the time, these homes have a great location, but the condition is sub-par. That's when these investors come in, get the house fixed up, and either resell it or rent it out.

We took all of these buyers for a great tour around the city and showed them a ton of great properties. We even outfitted our bus with Wi-Fi and a printing station in order for our investors to make offers right at the door. 

If you know of any properties that are struggling to sell, let us know. We have plenty of buyers that would be happy to take a look and see if it's something they are interested in. If you have any other questions, make sure to give us a call. We look forward to speaking with you soon!

How Did We Get Seven Offers On an Expired Listing?

Today I'm bringing you a success story about how we successfully sold a listing that had sat on the market for 6 months and never received a single offer. They were extremely irritated that their home wasn't selling, and after it expired they decided to let us try and sell it.

When we put it back on the market, it got a total of seven offers until they got the price and terms that they wanted. On top of this, the owner, Mickey, was a past RE/MAX Realtor. 

Mickey was amazed by our professionalism, and after their first Realtor disappeared on them, they hired my team and me. Mickey was also happy with the amount of communication between my team and her. She really appreciated the feedback we gave her, especially after their first agent disappeared after a month.

If you're having trouble selling a home in Toronto, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I'm more than happy to help you out, just like I did with Mickey and Larry.

I look forward to hearing from you!
