During our experiences with Relocation Prospects, we have found that they go through three stages while they are considering the process of moving:
1. Curiosity. Whether they are considering a move across town, across the country or even across the ocean, the first thing they want to do is to familiarize themselves with available homes and value for the areas they are considering.
2. Focus. If they decide to make the move they then want to narrow down their choice of areas and neighborhoods as well as price range and home features.
3. Selection. Once they have formalized themselves with the market they are then ready to start looking at the homes that appear to meet their personal and family needs.
No matter what stage you are in at this time, we will be glad to help you successfully work your way through these steps.
The services that we offer are designed to help you locate homes with the features important to you, in the area you prefer to live in for the price range that fits your budget. In addition, we also work with most of our clients to obtain the best home financing options available to them in their situation, whether that means a No Down Payment home loan or simply the best interest rate with the lowest closing costs possible.
We often find that we can help you initially by introducing you to the many areas of the Edmond and greater metopolitan Oklahoma City areas and making suggestions regarding which neighborhoods offer you the environment you are looking for.
Here are some of the many different ways we can help you:
1. Direct Access To Our MLS! We finally have the ability to put you directly in touch with our Multiple Listing Service….the same data base that we use, in real time. For a long time, we've promoted direct consumer access to these once-forbidden files, but now we have browsers on three of our major sites that do that. It supports a whole new kind of relationship between home buyers and our Realtors.
2. Customized MLS Gateway.
2. Extraordinary Information! We consider our body of information one of our greatest contributions to your relocation process. Objective, in-depth information is critical to wise buying decisions. Note the emphasis on "objective". Because we serve only one side of the transaction, the Buyer's side, you should be able to trust the information you get here, too…so let's say "Extraordinary Trustworthy Information"! Long before you get to town.
3. A Team Approach! Most Real Estate Brokerage companies assign one agent to a client and from then on, that one person is the one and only contact, a relationship often jealously guarded. Here, although we do appoint one person as having primary responsibility to coordinate the whole process, the whole office becomes your "teammates" in the relocation process. Everyone's resources and experiences are therefore available and coverage of duty is constant. In fact, we look upon the overall relationship as "teaming" with you for the home buying effort.
4. Absolute Market Objectivity! Because we specialize by working with Buyers, we can present every single option with absolute impartiality. We have no ties to any listings…no incentives to "push" any of them. This is the most frequently mentioned "benefit" in our service surveys, by far.
5. Specialization! Specialization is a fact of our culture in many fields, and has recognized general benefits. It our case, it means we always view every event from the Buyers' viewpoint. It means getting a lot of specialized tools tuned to support our constant mission…maximizing the Buyers' benefits. It means we get better and better at what we do because we do it all the time and constantly look for ways to improve it. And when it doesn't cost more to use us, it's like buying a custom suit for off-the-rack prices.
6. Attention to Resale! The longer we're in practice, the more we believe that the greatest monetary benefit we give our clients is when they resell the home we help them buy! In the traditional real estate world, unless the buyer insists on resale-analysis, this most-important buying goal is often simply overlooked in the quest to "get it sold". Just one day…one hour…one minute after closing is "too late" to do much about it…if the resale problem is incurable, as most of them are…like location.
7 A Super Service Mindset! We've got the most marvelous tool for home buyer support developed since the MLS…and that's "exclusive representation". But it doesn't stand alone…we need to know the markets, the business, and have the attitude tuned to maximize the benefits…always…using all of the tools available. (But we truly don't see how "super service" can consistently be delivered without the cornerstone of exclusive buyer representation!)
8. The "Cheers" Of the Real Estate Community! If exclusive representation is the cornerstone however, then the mortar must be attention to the "soft side" of relocations…the human side. We find that we relate to people as much as property, and intend family-like hospitality. Whatever anxieties and concerns exist, we intend to replace them with comfort, control, convenience and confidence….making the whole a pleasant adventure with an always-successful result.
9. Value Added Service! Nobody likes to spend money unwisely, and everyone wants something of value in return for his expenditures. Few events of life are worse than leaving a transaction feeling cheated. Here, you should have the confidence that you've made the very best decisions from among complete options, and that you've gotten real value for your money…as current-speak suggests, that you've gotten "value added service". Previous clients consistently say that!
10. No Hustle! Everybody hates a "hustle"….decisions forced before their time. We won't do that here….ever.
