No automated system can replace the personal touch and the gut instincts that come from years of experience.

Area knowledge.  And while there might be one or two agents out there who know as much about the lake as me, certainly not many.  I've been on this lake for half a century.

quality and consistent customer service from day 1 to the closing table.... always available.... the beauty of a two person team... 

Heart magic. It's a thing.

I have it.

Following up and through with honest intention consistently.

Accuracy John Meussner . I'm talking about my notary business. I know my mortgage docs better than most title companies and I know this because I am constantly correcting their errors.

It was my local knowledge of the area, inventory, prices and my negotiating and problem solving skills.  Also I can a good rapport with other agents.

Agents can provide far better service than a franchise that lacks (a) Insight into the local market & the rationale behind the scenes, when it comes to pricing, neighborhoods, upgrades or work to be done, buyer sentiment, rates, etc etc etc (b) Agents are the equivalent of Project managers on a site; we make sure that all the forms are in place & sent to where they need to go, we make the followup calls & drive the transaction, (c) Agents are always smoothing out problems as we go, ever have a real estate deal without issues? Our experience is a huge asset to our clients, keeping deals from falling apart (d) we're a great source of local information for people just arriving in town - and if you treat me nicely I just might take you to a  local restaurant, the list goes on & on why, our MLS has access to ALL the listings - even Zillow can't say that, there are plenty agents opting out of putting their listings on Zillow, so you don't miss anything when you have an agent, I could write a book about all we do. 

It's my decades of experience; attention to details; minute knowledge of the market; 45+ years of negotiating experience; 5-star service.

Impeccable service.  One of our competitors thinks that we are wasting $$$ by actually meeting face to face with our clients and surveying their marketplace with them.  We think that this is more valuable than video conference...and all other stuff.  A

personalized service

Our team.

Customer service (personal) where it counts

I know the only five questions the seller actually has. That allows me to cut through the noise and create the resonance they welcome.

Meanwhile others are pushing the 3,118 question you must ask your REALTOR before hiring them. One dumb ass even had FICO score on the list.

Yes, it could be replicated, but today it simply is not the case.

So, I taught a class to agents in Charlotte just yesterday - it's a 'trifecta' - Negotiating, Knowledge, White-glove service.

You HAVE to know your numbers to negotiate effectively and to a client, negotiating is their largest value. Done well, followed by impeccable customer service, you've mastered the trifecta!

Help them discover/define and reach their goals.

....and why would any of us give away our secrets on the web?

My knowledge and experience. It is the only thing my competition can't copy!

Provable results in >listing to sold price %'s< through Tenacious negotiating and problem solving. You can not out negotiate me.

I'm like a polite tick on a hound dog. 

I am with Corinne Guest and Ken Jones - what does the client need and how  I fill that need. 

Attention to the details and almost immediate communication! 

My 35 years of real estate experience!

Will have to see what others are saying.

Personal service is what most home buyers and sellers still want.

Honesty.

Trust.

Yes, John. Ken Jones asnwers it.

I offer people choices to meet their real estate needs.  Consistently, surveys show consumers think commissions are too high.  I provide alternative solutions so they can maximize their equity while meeting their desired outcomes.  The traditional real estate commission compensation model is a high risk/high reward to the agent/broker and low risk/high cost to the consumer.  Changing the risk-reward calculus allows the consumer to retain more of their equity. 

So true, John Meussner !
