The Niece Team....Trust The Results of Experience

Thanks for giving me the chance to earn your business! Finding a good Minnesota Realtor or Real Estate agent is hard. As you can imagine, every agent is going to tell you on their website that they are the best. Let's try and figure out together how to find the best real estate agent to sell you home.
Where Do My Past Clients Buy and Sell? (Please allow 3-4 seconds for the map to load almost 3,000 properties)



What Type of Homes Do I Sell?













The first questions we should ask are "What is important to sellers(you)?" and "How can you determine if an agent really does these things or any of the things they tell you?"?

Here is a list of things that Zillow, Trulia, NAR, MAAR, MSN, FOXNEWS, BBB and CNN say are the most important things for a seller to think about when picking a real estate professional.


What Does a Seller Want or Need in and Agent

Trust or Honesty Communication Availability
Correct Home Valuation Highest Price Possible Internet Advertising
Marketing Quick Sale A Qualified Buyer
Great Negotiating Skills Reputable Company Flexible Contract
Knowledge Detail Oriented Proven Record


Trust or Honesty
This is the hardest trait to verify. I don't know about you but I have a hard time trusting someone who tells me they are honest. I just don't think that honest people tell people that they are. Getting a recommendation from someone you know is another way but quite often does not work. I am sure that you have had friends tell you someone is great but once you meet that person, you think they are cocky or vain or lazy or something. How is it possible that your friends could be so wrong? More/Less

Correct Home Valuation
It is very easy to make sure that you have the correct value of your home. Make sure the you agent does it with you at you kitchen table. I really enjoy taking the time and working thru the process with my clients. A good realtor should always have their laptop and internet access at all times. This is especially true during a listing appointment. More/Less

RETURN TO TOP


Marketing
The National Association of Realtors clearly states that Marketing is one of the most important things that an agent can do to help a client once their home is on the market.
Every agent should have you home on the MLS but that should be a crime if it is the only thing that your agent does. More/Less

RETURN TO TOP


Great Negotiating Skills
How would you like to have a trained professional negotiator on your side when you buy or sell your next home? I am one of the few agents in Minnesota that have been trained as a professional negotiator. More/Less

RETURN TO TOP


Knowledge
Michal Jordan said it correctly, "Perfect Practice makes Perfect". Having an agent that has thousands of "perfect" successful closings leads to you having a "perfect" successful closing. Nothing can take the place of doing somthing over and over again.More/Less

RETURN TO TOP


Communication
In my years and years as a Realtor I have learned one things, everyone is different. I finally decided that I would ask my clients how often and how they want to be kept updated. When you list with me, we will make sure that this is not left to chance.More/Less

RETURN TO TOP


Highest Price Possible
I am 100% in agreement with this one. I want the highest price possible also. The great thing about getting a higher price isMore/Less

Quick Sale
There are many things that need to happen to have a quick sale if you also want to get the best price possible. It is important to try andMore/Less

Reputable Company
.

RETURN TO TOP


Detail Oriented
I attended the University of North Dakota and graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree. I worked as a Division Manager for a large German Multinational. I requied to be extremely detail oriented to to graduate with this type of degree. As you can imagine, a German company also requires it's executives to be very detail oriented.

RETURN TO TOP


Availability
I believe that an agent needs to be willing to be available when their client needs them. A good agent should work nights and weekends and should be willing to answer their phone seven days a week. If you ask anyone

RETURN TO TOP


Internet Advertising
As you can imagine, every agent should have your home on the MLS so most big sites will have your home. The thing that you don't know is that if your agent does not pay extra to each of these sites, you home will have very little info. An even bigger problem is that buyers that are interested in your home on these sites will not go to your agent. If you agent has not paid all of the buyers go to other agents from other companies that would rather sell one of their homes to these buyers. We pay to send enhanced listing information to all of these websites. We upload our info to Realtor.com in addition to REMAX.com, which is the most used franchise real estate company in the world.

A Qualified Buyer
Real Estate agents never want anything to go wrong with their clients sale. Great real estate agents take precautions so that nothing happens with thier clients sale. When we get an offer we verify that the person is qualified to buy the home. We also talk to the loan officer and buyers agent to look for any sign of weakness in the transaction. I will make sure that all steps have been taken to ensure a smooth real estate transaction.

RETURN TO TOP


Flexible Contract
Google defines Guarantee as "a formal promise or assurance (typically in writing) that certain conditions will be fulfilled, esp. that a product will be repaired or replaced if not of a specified quality and durability. Very few if any agents will give you a written guarantee unless you ask for it. I will give you one without you asking for it.

Proven Record
I have worked with over 1000 clients in the last 10 years. Under 20 agents in Minnesota reach this goal in their career.

The Niece Team....Trust The Results of Experience

The first question you might have for us is why should you use us to sell a home. That's a good question.


First and most important is we are the number one home sellers for our company in this area of the Metro for the last two years. This means we are motivated and strong negotiators and work in your price market as well as your area, which is important to you.

Second and also important is we have our own team who helps you in every aspect of your home sale, from listing to closing. We also limit the number of homes we put on the market. This is very important to you because it means we care if your home sells.

We actually turn away listings if we get to many.

Every seller we have worked with has been comfortable with our ratio. Most agents you will interview either do not do any business or have to many listings to deal with themselves. An agent who is selling to many homes on their own can not give your home the time it deserves. If they were doing open houses, they would be able to do one for your home every 10 weeks. If it takes 3-4 hours a week to just do the follow up and administrative work as well as the ads, when will they have time to network with other agents.


(40 hours a week just keeping the machine running-no time left to sell)


Most agents will tell you networking is one of the huge benefits you get from an experienced agent. If they are not selling any homes, you don't want to use them either.


The Third reason to use us is no other team in Minnesota spends as much time and money working to sell your home for the most money in the shortest time. Our marketing plan is better then any other agent's plan in the Twin Cities. If you find someone with a better plan who can sell you home faster and for more money, we will sell your home for free(call me at 612-305-8487 if you want to ask questions about this).

If you want to get the most money you can and still sell your home faster, Call or e-mail us now.



p.s. Make sure you are asking questions when interviewing an agent. Ask them how many homes they have sold themselves(just them) in the last 3 months. Ask them if they have ever had a home expire or if any seller has cancelled on them(most agent won't let a seller cancel even if they have a reason, Ouch!). Ask them for a written list of exactly what they do to market your home. Ask them how they rank for home sales in their office(just them in writing) and how many agents they have in their office.

Last We give you a guarantee in writing. You will be happy with our service or we will let you out of your contract with no cost to you. We are likely the only agent you will interview who will give you that written promise without being asked.



Remember, not all agents are the same...

What does it take to sell a home faster, for more money, or both?

You have to figure out where the buyers are and get your homes in front of them for as long as possible, as often as possible!



Forgive us if we only put half of our marketing plan here for you to see, other agents have prying eyes! Call us or fill out our market analysis form for a full copy.
