Are you thinking of selling? This letter is lengthy but I believe it will be worth your time.
You may already be aware of Edward Surovell Realtors but you may not know of me.
You may not know about the many great, innovative things I have to offer.
I
can work with you from any of our 11 offices. We are NOT a franchise
operation so I can and do work with our entire staff of over 260 associates. I
believe in personal service. I am not an “agent” but a full time and fully
licensed Realtor meaning I can list, show & sell any real estate in
Michigan. I do this with honesty and integrity so you can rest assured that is
how I’ll work with you. You will feel comfortable knowing I’m protecting
your interests. When someone states their “team” is the largest in the area
or they sell the fastest or for the most money, ask them are they comparing
themselves to the Surovell team being we had over $680,000,000.00 in volume last
calendar year, our average sale was over $21,000 higher and I
believe our
days on market shorter proving we know the real estate business. Many do not realize we are the
one of the largest which allows us to give your
home maximum exposure to buyers.
Surovell
Realtors are a full service brokerage and well-respected member of all the
appropriate boards. We have
our own marketing, financing, relocation, title and closing departments.
I can
place your listings in up to 6 Multiple List Service (MLS) systems covering most
all of southern Michigan. Your property is placed in no fewer than 5 very
popular web sites with inbound links from several other sites giving more
Internet exposure then anyone else can
offer. I am a member of “RELO” so I can offer relocation assistance from
most anyplace to most anyplace in the world, even if it is just to the next town. This
great service is always FREE and without obligation. I offer this service even
if you should list with some one else. Give me a call for more information.
Should you choose to list with others, I can still help you buy! Being a part of
RELO gives me the opportunity to show your home to many people hoping to move in
to the area.
I do not
take listings so I can place signs in yards. Lots of signs do give an appearance
of being a success at selling but when the reduced sign riders and the listing
extensions are factored in, it becomes clear who is successful. The only
listings I accept are listings I believe I can sell! I would much rather turn down a
listing, than disappoint a client. As a homeowner, I would not want the
long-term wait and the price reductions until finally the listing agent seems to
just abandon the listing and drifts away leaving you to wonder.
Lower priced property is as important as any higher priced on the market. I work just
as hard because I work for the owner, not the prestige of high value listings
and sign exposure. I limit myself to 12 active listings so I can give maximum
attention to your property. This is very important, often times
agents over
extend themselves causing you and the sale of your property to suffer.
I do not
do a CMA summary. I do a complete & in-depth Comparative Market Analysis so
you know exactly what your home may sell for. Which is well respected and is always FREE, as the
property owner, you of course can list at any price you want, but you will know
the price range it will take to facilitate a sale. If one of my listings have
not sold in 60 days, I re-examine the marketing and CMA.
Properly
priced and marketed, property will sell. I believe my average from listing to first offer
is one of the best in the business. I will do my best to meet this same quick
response for your property.
I am unique in my free or discounted services such as FREE Home Protection One warranty on all my listings. You can rest assured your home is protected until the day of closing. I can also save you money on many inspections and other expenses because companies offer through me discounts and reduced fee services which can boost your over all savings substantially.
I’ve
mentioned marketing.
Surovell
marketing is one of the best but I also offer my own extensive marketing. This
is in conjunction with massive mailings of full color post cards and feature
sheets specific to one property. I do this with all my listings and I do this
until the property is sold. On occasion I lose money after a sale due to this
extensive marketing, but I always make a friend which often time’s leads to a
future referral. If you had or have property listed, did you pick up a homes
magazine to see your property advertised? Did you see it? With me you will! You
will see it in a no smaller then ˝ page advertisement, often times in color.
Surovell
Realtors commission rates are based on a downward sliding scale, which often
times save the seller hundreds and even thousands of dollars. One should not
have to pay exorbitant rates based on the value of their home. When considering
commission rates, watch closely for additional closing fees. There’s never any
additional administrative, hidden or surprise fees charged by me.
Our
commission structure enables me to be very generous to buyer agencies/agents at
NO extra cost to you. This is a great incentive to other company’s agents to
show their clients my listings. Human nature and business sense dictate that if
a buyer agency/agent can make more money showing one home over another, simply
put, they will!
In closing
I would like to say the most important thing I offer you is the willingness to
work hard, to be honest and to be in communication with you. I deliver to you
all marketing, showings and general interest about your property
as often as nessasary. You will NOT
wonder what is happening. If at any time a client is dissatisfied, I encourage
them to fire me. This has not happened.
My logo
is, I sell Fair – I sell Fast!
Please
visit any of my websites to learn more about Surovell Realtors and me.
Never
hesitate calling me with any question, concern or information I can help you
with, even if you choose not to list with me. I say this with sincerity. I can
and will help.
Looking
forward to hearing from you
The very best of wishes to you & yours,
Tom Shaft
