My Commitment to You

"Buying a home is one of life's biggest investments. It's an honor to be there for people, especially first time buyers. I've always liked the service part of business, but not just the sales - I also like the details. I want to be sure everything is right and working together. I'm a detail person. I like getting to know people and I'm very determined. I let nothing stop me when I go to find the home they're looking for."

Do You Need to List Your Home?

Interviewing your selling agent is just like interviewing any other job candidate. Your agent needs to know the market and be able to present your house to other agents and buyers in a professional and confident manner. While you may be tempted to select an agent solely on the commission rate, be sure to ask questions about how your home will be marketed, the reputation of the agency the agent represents and determine if the agent displays the sort of drive and enthusiasm needed to set your home apart in a busy marketplace.

To sell a home in today's market, you need an arsenal of marketing efforts:

• Listing on the Houston Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service.
• On-site advertising like: open houses, flyer boxes, and brokers' tours. Keller Williams provides access to the best search tools available.
• Print advertising. Keller Williams has its own magazine featuring its listings, direct notification to other brokers, and printed postcards distributed right to your neighborhood (did you know that it's often your neighbor who buys or refer your home to their friends, relatives and co-workers?)
• On-line listings on multiple websites including http://www.williams4yourhome.com/; http://www.har.com/; http://www.kw.com/; http://www.realtor.com/; and http://www.homeseekers.com/.
• While some realtors offer one or two of these marketing tools, many do not. Jeremy goes for the slam dunk! In home sales, there's never too much exposure. To ensure that your home attracts the most number of buyers - Jeremy even includes virtual tours in his selling packages. Virtual tours help buyers see your home as a livable space that they can experience, not just some 2-dimensional photograph that requires a buyer to imagine what the rooms may feel like. The more information you give buyers, the easier it is for them to make the next step in the sale and the closer you are to moving into your next dream home.

Jeremy is the kind of realtor that you can trust to honestly evaluate your home's value, develop a market plan that goes the extra mile to ensure your home's visibility and the ambition to make sure your listing stays in front of the right agents and buyers.

When You Want to Buy: Start with the Basics

When you pick an agent to help you buy a house, interview several and pick the one that you feel most comfortable with. The relationship is important because you want to feel confident that your agent works on your behalf to find the right house, at the right price and make the process work as smoothly as possible.

Pre-qualify

Jeremy works with his clients to prequalify them first. It's an important first step to developing a plan to find the right home for you while making sure that the house fits your finances and doesn't preclude you from living the other dreams you may have. Sure, you may qualify for a $200,000 home, but wouldn't it be great to find a fabulous $175,000 home that allows you the extra monthly savings to vacation comfortably and have the lifestyle you've dreamed of too?

Analyze

Then he gets to know you. What are you dreaming of? Does your dream include bedrooms that are huge and airy or are you willing to sacrifice a little bit here so that your entertainment corridor provides space to have friends and family visit often and move smoothly through your living areas?

Search

Then Jeremy goes to work. This is when it all clicks together and he searches for the home you've always dreamed of. He'll know then whether the yard should hold your dog or your kids or both and whether the garage should hold two cars or three along with your boat.

Handling the Entire Transaction

If you're selling your current home in the process, Jeremy will work with you to prepare your home for showing and develop a plan to ensure that other agents and buyers know your home is on the market. Thorough marketing is what gets a home sold fast and Jeremy has an array of strategies ready to successfully launch the sale of your home.

Jeremy also knows the sale's not over when you find the home of your dream, and even when you have the buyer's contract in hand. Jeremy will handle the details and communicate with you (at least weekly) about the progress of your transactions - to the very day of closing. You and your family are able to spend your time picking new colors for the den, where to put the piano, and celebrating this latest accomplishment.
