Jim, congratulations on your awesome success.  I've been reading what you've written for a while and I'm glad a seller was fortunate enough to get paired up with you.  I hope more sellers in GA see the light!

Good for you , Jim.  Aside from you being an awesome Reator(r)... What do you attribute the quick sale to?  Price?  Marketing? 

Yes, I too am curious about what you feel [pricing?] encouraged the quick sale.

Congrats on the quick sell.  The sellers were lucky to get hooked up with you.  I'm guessing they found you online or did they come through referral? It would be interesting to hear the rest of the story.

Congratulations Jim!  Job well done once again.  BUT like the others I would LOVE to know just what steps you took to complete this feat! 

All the Best!

Kathy Fisher

Mark Organek - Gilbert Mesa Chandler Tempe Loan Officer  Thanks.  The agent that referred us found us on the Internet we were on the top of the search, and he called.  We were blessed to have worked with such nice people!  A young couple with 4 children!

Roswell Georgia Real Estate Agent - Nancy Rivera   We gave them the truth about our market and backed it up wiht hard numbers.  Clean house, paint, carpets cleaned, and the right compensation to keep everyone motivated!  BTW we even had multiple offers in this market!

Susie Blackmon NC Realtor, Maggie Valley, Waynesville  Price, appearance, terms, and compensation!

Atlanta's Home Inspector David Lelak - IHI Home Inspections  Their REMAX agent in Boise Idaho found us on a Buford Georgia home search!

Kathy Fisher RE/MAX Unlimited Realtor  We were very careful to request the seller paint, and clean up!  We also provide an accurate picture of the market wiht the most current data to support that!  The rest was pricing, painting, and choosing the right offer to work!

Congrats Jim, Glad to see you got an AR referal.

Great job Jim!! These days that kind of turn around is something to be proud of.

Jim-Congrats! Things are looking up-a bit!

Rod Rich - Atlanta- Associate Broker  LOL! So am I!  There is a lot of aprehension taking a listing these days.  It must be on our terms!

Keith & Robin Perry - REALTOR® -West Metro Atlanta  I am blessed to have good clients that were willing to listen to the facts!

 Obeoman Steven Stearns  It could not have gotten slower!  LOL!

That is wonderful news Jim!  Homes are still selling in this market, sellers just need to hire a good Realtor.  Well done!

Colorado Springs Realty Patricia Beck  Thanks Patricia!  It doesn't mean the sales are easy!  LOL!

Jim , great results!

What commission do you charge on the buy and sell side and if the house is like new, what % of ARV do you list the house at (if I want a sale within 4 months using your services)?  What % of your listings are you selling within the listing period?

I have found  to move my houses in Clayton County I  have to offer 10% commission to the agent with the buyer, list the houses at 95% of ARV, like new condition and pay many buyer closing incentives. Can you get this MLS # 02263809 listing sold for me? Counties on the North Side of town where the affluent live are seem easier to sell... do you have the same experience?

Great job Jim.  Glad to see wonderful success for you.

Phil  I really do not discuss commission percentages with other brokers because it really violates Federal Anti-Trust Law.  However, what I can say is what we shared was not as high as yours.  The logic is that if agents are also selling less, and it is really unethical in my opinion to accept a buyer agent bonus, then increased compensation is the only other alternative.  Agents do notice it, and whether they realize it or not become an advocate for the seller!

Rhonda Burgess - Nashville Tennessee Area Real Estate  Rhonda, thanks so much!  I am very happy for the seller's they really needed a sale!

That is so awesome! Good for you and if I ever know someone in Atlanta...I know who to call!

Jim... Congratulations on the quick sale of this home. Always great to get a quick sale and ick up a couple more in the area

LaNita Cates  Thank you so much!

 Roland Woodworth "Ft. Campbell Area Realtor"  I decided not to go after anymore in the area.  It was to far away, over 30 miles one way from our base....and sales there were extremely soft! 

Good job! You need to do an interview with your news station. Or better yet, have your sellers do an interview!
