“***MUST READ***
These days it is truly important to find the right outfit to help you sell your home. I’m speaking from personal experience dealing with Brad and Jen, and my parents experience of dealing with the “other guys”. Here’s the difference-
Brad sat down with us and set realistic goals and expectations. We had a pretty high number in our heads, and he correctly said some work would need to be done to get that number. We were hoping for 575k, and we were told about 10k in improvements and updates would get us there. He went over each of the updates in detail. We spent 25k and when Brad saw the finished product, he ran the numbers and felt confident at an ask of 598k. Here’s how good he is- we had 2 offers by the second day of listing. For those that think we might have been too low, we weren’t. We continued showing the house and never got any other offers. We sold our home for exact ask at 598k. That’s somebody with 20+ years of experience in the area knowing exactly what we should and did get. A true master class in how to sell a home.
We were handed off to Jen for the closing process. There was consistent communication, clear instructions, and a friendly personal vibe. Marissa in the office was also a tremendous help no matter how many times I called and bothered her. She was always super friendly and made me feel like my issues were the only things on her list that day. Back to Jen. What an amazing person she is. She walked me off the ledge a few times during the process. A calm and steady demeanor that exudes and instills confidence during a trying period. Let her do her thing and steer the ship, you will be good.
For those thinking I’m related to Brad, Jen, or Marissa, I am not. I’m writing this because I have unfortunately witnessed what the flip side of the coin with my parents. They went with the other guys because the lady was super nice.
The other guys told my parents to come up with a price and said “yeah, let’s do it!”. 2 months later they are selling their home for almost 70k below asking, (the number is within 5k of what Brad told them they should ask). There were no goals or expectations rooted in reality. Just a can do attitude with nothing to back it up. The other guys stopped taking my mom’s calls, stopped answering emails, etc. They took about 20 pictures and incorrectly listed the home. I’m wondering what they did right?
In closing, don’t go with the other guys. Brad and Jen have earned their good name in Yavapai County. They’ve earned it through decades of hard work and telling their clients what needs to be told and not what they want to hear. I don’t know about you, but I want my realtor to be honest with me, my friends can be the ones that tell me nice things.
Thank you Brad, Jen, and Marissa for everything. You guys are the best and we will absolutely be using you in the future.”
