Making an Informed Decision

Scroll All the Way Down!

Goal To sell your home in a timely manner, net the most money possible,
consume the least amount of personal time and
cause the least disruption to daily family living and work schedules.
Bottom Line 1. In today's world, real estate transactions are best handled by professionals.
2. There are multitudes of critical services and behind-the-scenes activities included in the Brenkus Team fee. The fees are clearly identified up front and in writing.  There are no surprises.  You are not nickeled and dimed to death.
3. Contrary to the myth that for sale by owners will save money by working independently, the truth is that working with the Brenkus Team will increase your chance of netting more money in the end, your home will more likely sell quicker, you will be protected better, and you will be pampered with customer service.  We estimate a 9-24% savings in out-of-pocket costs and cost of time.   
4. Compared to the time demands of a for sale by owner, the Brenkus Team will save you considerable personal and family time.  We have identified about 125 separate tasks to coordinate, monitor and manage in a timely manner to assure a smooth, hassle free transaction on your behalf.
5. All Brenkus Team services are provided, FREE, up front.  We are only paid when the transaction closes.  We are automatically paid from the escrow funds so you don't need to worry about paying us separately, out-of-pocket.
6. We want to earn your business and will work hard for you.  We want your total satisfaction so you will come back to us the next time you buy and sell.  We want rave reviews so you will refer your friends and family to us.

Coordinating and Assembling Yard Signs & Sign Riders Fill in here Fill in here Yes, included'The Brenkus Team coordinates the placement of a sturdy yard sign and sign riders in your yard.  You don't even need to be home.  The signs are large, easy to read, and buyers recognize and trust the name Keller Williams.

Do you have other methods to attract buyers? Fill in here Fill in here  
Qualifying Buyers
Are you comfortable with asking total strangers personal financial questions?   Are prospective buyers cooperative in revealing that information to you when they "just want to look" first?   Fill in here Yes, included'This very important exercise is a part of our daily life.  Prospective buyers EXPECT to share this type of information with us so there is no reluctance or awkwardness.  How much would it be worth to you to know that prospective buyers were financially pre-qualified even before your home was shown?
Do you take the time on the phone to pre-qualify their needs and wants to see if your home is a possible good match for them?   Fill in here Yes, included'We're match makers and very good at it!  We can point out and validate their hot buttons. We know the buyer well enough to tap into their body language.  We can overcome objections.  How much would it be worth to you to know that something in your home matches a prospective buyer's needs or wants before the home is shown?
Do you have contacts and relationships to help your buyer get a good financial package?  Are you even aware of all the various financial packages and vendors available in today's market?   Fill in here Yes, included'Because we are so successful in selling hundreds of homes every year, we generate millions of dollars of loans.  If your buyer decides to use one of the lenders we frequently work with, your buyer may save 1/2 to 1% on the interest rate. How much would it be worth to you to be able to help your prospective buyer get a good financial package?
Following Up
Can you effectively follow up with everyone who sees your home for feedback, handle possible criticism, and successfully overcome objections all without sacrificing your negotiating power?   Fill in here Yes, included'It is our opinion that for sale by owners cannot perform this activity without weakening their negotiating power.  What would it be worth to you to have a 3rd party, detached negotiator, follow up with every showing and answer questions, solve problems, and overcome objections? 
Will you be prepared to get a commitment while the buyer is at emotional peak?  Will you have all contracts and paperwork ready to go?  Are you comfortable with the paperwork to know the laws, the risks, what to watch out for, and answer buyer questions?   Fill in here Fill in here Yes, included'It is our opinion that buyers will be on guard with for sale by owners and try to hide buying signals.  In recent years, the real estate transaction has become much more complex and regulated.  It is far too easy for amateurs, however honest and well-intentioned, to get into legal trouble.  We live in a sue-happy society.  How much would it be worth to you to work with a licensed REALTOR® who has been stringently trained and tested and is required to meet annual continuing education requirements and is bound to conduct business by a Code of Ethics?
Setting Your Price
Access to and interpretation of official, recent comparable market analysis.  FSBO lacks tools Yes, included'We can show you actual sales prices of neighborhood homes that sold (versus list price) and prices of homes that DID NOT sell.  How much would it be worth to you to have tools to help you make an informed decision about setting your listing price?
Negotiating
Do you have the skills and knowledge to prepare legally correct counter offers and keep communication open to achieve a win-win negotiation for both you and the buyer? Fill in here Fill in here Yes, included'The negotiating stage of the transaction is a very delicate time.  Emotions are mixed and charged.  It is our opinion that both buyer and seller are understandably too close to the situation and their own needs.  A 3rd party, objective professional has a much better chance of bringing the two parties together to reach a mutually beneficial ending.  How much would it be worth to you to have a professionally trained negotiator bring the deal together and reduce the chance of it falling apart?
