FOR SALE BY OWNER TESTIMONIALS 1. When we got a call from one of Christopher Smith’s assistants, we thought it was just another Realtor “badgering” us for business. Todd was very nice and helpful, just wanting us to know if we had received their information in the mail. When we met with Christopher, he explained that what was most important to us was the Seller’s Net Proceeds instead of paying the real estate commission that was most important. Our house ended up selling faster and for more of the asking price, just like he said. We highly recommend his team’s services to all For Sale By Owners who are struggling to sell their home just like we were. Stewart & Erin 2. When we talked to Christopher, he actually pointed out to us that our house was underpriced in terms of the current market place. He said that the difference between what we were asking and what it could sell for would more than make up for his commission, and it did! We had the house on the market for two and a half months without an offer, and Christopher sold it in 29 days from the time we listed with him. He was very professional, and what we appreciated most of all was the level of communication. He spoke or emailed us almost every day and kept us informed about all showings and feedback from buyers & buyer’s agents. We also referred Christopher to a fellow co-worker who lived down the street from us and he was able to help them out as well! Thanks Christopher for all the time and hard effort you put into marketing and selling our house. We can’t wait to refer you to our friends and family in the future! Elaine & Everett 3. Like most For Sale By Owners, we thought it would be easy to sell our own home and in no time, we would be on our way to our next home. We ended up going with Christopher Smith because of one thing. He was so patient and understanding with our situation and he didn’t hassle us for an appointment or for our listing. When we met with him for the first time, he explained how his marketing would sell our house for more money than we could on our own. We were still a little hesitant so we interviewed two other Realtors. After this, we realized that Christopher’s plan to sell our house offered more value to us and would “potentially” save us more money. We had to reduce our price a little and make some minor changes to our house on the inside, but it paid off finally. We sold our house in a little under three months. It was a pleasure to work with Christopher and his team of professionals and will recommend him to anyone who needs similar services in the future! Tara & Jeff 4. We initially didn’t use Christopher’s services as we went with another Realtor. After the contract had expired and we still did not have an offer on our house, we gave Christopher a call. He came over that same day and presented his plan to sell our house. We were leery to use another agent because our last agent was unable to sell our house. This might sound funny but the one thing I appreciated from Christopher was his level of calm during this whole transaction. He told us that everything would work out and that we would have an offer on our house. He kept in touch with us about ten times more than the other Realtor did and we eventually sold our house and were able to relocate and move out of state. Thanks for everything Christopher and if you need anything from us, please don’t hesitate to ask! Raymond & Lisa 5. When Christopher first called, we hung up on him! It was one of those days, and we were being hassled by other Realtors on that same day and we just lost it! Sorry Chris! We received a booklet in the mail from Christopher on How to Sell Our House Fast. It was the first time that a Realtor offered a free service to us without expecting anything in return. We waited a few more weeks and then we called Christopher. We liked the fact that he offered a 5% commission plan. This actually made it possible for us to sell our house and get a little bit of equity out of our house; not much, but it was enough to move onto our next home. Chris, we promise we won’t hang up on you again!!! Thanks for all your hard work! Stephanie & John 6. Chris came to me about six months earlier when I had my house on the market. I took it off the market over the winter and then put it back on the market myself in the spring. Throughout that time I was trying to sell my house, Chris continued to send me these Home Seller Newsletters that offered helpful hints on how to prepare your house to sell. He did not call me every week, which I did not appreciate from other agents. Eventually I gave Chris a chance to sell my house. I was impressed by his marketing plan, especially so since I work in marketing myself. His use of video and photographs really showcased my house and the buyer that actually purchased my house said that he was impressed by “your Realtor’s use of video to market your house.” That was all I needed to hear! Great job Chris; thanks for hanging in there with me! Steve |
