Ricky and his mother Hui tried to sell their San Marino home "for sale by owner." After advertising it on various websites they became frustrated with the fact that they weren't getting qualified buyers through the doors but only calls from annoying real estate agents. The problem was that all the agents that called were promising to bring buyers but at the end of the day they were only using that promise as bait for an attempt to get a signed listing agreement. There are great financial benefits to hiring a realtor as opposed to selling the home on your own. The problem is that most realtors don't know the value they have to offer. Ricky and Hui weren't looking for a pushy salesperson to force them into signing a contract. They were looking to make the best financial decision for THEMSELVES, which is what we all do when making business decisions.
It took me 20 minutes to show Ricky and Hui how I could net them more money at the end of the day than if they sold the home on their own. It made sense to them and they hired me. Within two weeks we had the property in escrow over asking price. It officially closed escrow last week.
If you are considering selling your San Marino, Pasadena, Altadena, La Canada, La Crescenta, South Pasadena or Alhambra home on your own, call 626.204.3352 to set up an appointment to see IF it makes sense to hire me.
