3 Ways We Separate Ourselves From the Competition

Most Realtors are the same, but there are three ways we separate ourselves from the competition.

How is TexasRealEstateSavings.com different from all the other real estate companies out there? As I like to say, Realtors are a lot like gumballs. On the outside, they’re different colors but on the inside they’re the same. However, there are three primary ways we separate ourselves from other real estate companies: 1. We help sellers save money. Because real estate commissions are negotiable, we don’t charge what most companies charge. In fact, we usually charge quite a bit less. Our sellers save an average of $3,000 to $8,000 on their home when they list with us.
2. We offer a seller advantage program. On top of our discounted full service listing fee, we have a seller program. If a seller comes across a buyer, I still write the contract, represent the seller, and help the buyer. You only pay my listing side of the commission and not the other 3% that we and other companies usually charge.

3. We offer cash rebates to buyers. When a buyer works with me, we give them money back at closing. There are only three conditions. The first is that you have to use me exclusively as your buyer representative. The second is the home has to sell for over $100,000. The third is the commission has to be at least 3%.

How Our Sales Numbers Compare

How do we compare to some of the top teams in the area? Very well, actually.

How do my sales numbers compare to the numbers of some of the top teams in Granbury? To demonstrate, I’ve got some numbers to share. First, some background information. The National Association of Realtors says that the average Realtor does 11 transactions per year. How do we stack up when compared to the top companies in the area? We took a look at the numbers from two of the top teams in Granbury. We’ll call them Team A and Team B. Team A had a total of 219 residential sales in 2016. With about 15 agents on their team, that gives them an average of 14.6 sales per agent. Team B did 100 sales with 10 agents on their team, giving them an average of 10 sales per agent.

My program is better and I work harder.

When you look at my numbers, last year I did 93 residential transactions as the only agent in my office who takes listings and writes contracts. This gives me a 93 sales per agent average. Why is my number so high? There are two reasons. The first is that my program is simply better than the others. I offer seller discounts and cash rebates when they don’t. It’s very simple. The second reason is that I work harder. If you call me at 9 p.m., you’ll be able to get a hold of me. With the other teams, you would be lucky to get ahold of them after 5 p.m. My program is better and I work harder. See my reviews here to learn what people are saying about me. The numbers don’t lie. If you have any questions or are looking to buy or sell a home in Granbury, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!

What Separates Good Realtors from Bad Ones?

While it’s true that all Realtors perform the same job functions, they are each different from the other in three distinct areas that I want to discuss with you today.

Are all Realtors the same? Yes and no. It’s true that all Realtors can show homes, write contracts, negotiate those contracts, and walk buyers and sellers through the closing process. However, aside from those job descriptions, each one is vastly different from the other in three very important areas. The first area is experience. There are many Realtors out there today who are just out of real estate school. In the real estate business, a Realtor can have as many as 50 deals under their belt and still be considered “new.” By comparison, I’ve done over 800 deals. The second area is knowledge. As you can imagine, a Realtor that’s done only a dozen or so deals probably has limited knowledge. There are some things you just can’t teach in real estate school, and you only learn those things by working a long time. When things get sticky in a transaction between the buyer and seller, knowledge matters a great deal.

The third area is programs. Most Realtors offer the same programs, so finding a Realtor that offers more or different programs is likely a sign that they offer a higher quality of service. For our buyers, for example, we offer cash rebates. For sellers, we do a full-service program in which we charge lower fees. As you can see, when you get down to it, all Realtors aren’t the same. If you have any questions or know someone interested in buying or selling real estate, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d be happy to help!
