Take advantage of our Agent Interview Service . We all know that moving IS STRESSFUL !!! and one of the most Stressful of moves is to a new city or state. The right Realtor can make all the difference. Most of you may not be aware, that Keller Williams Realty is the 4th largest real estate company in North America. Every year we go to Austin (numerous times), Las Vegas and Atlanta for world class training in real estate and how to be better business people. We are trained by the best of the best from inside Keller Williams and experts outside our company. I just celebrated my third year with Keller Williams and even though I have been in this industry a good while, I am always in awe of the new things I keep learning. One of my most favorite KWīisms is "YOU DONīT KNOW WHAT YOU DONīT KNOW.
Today, we learned a new way to help our clients, their friends, family neighbors etc. We are now able with new tech tools from KW, and our resources of getting to know so many top agents around the country to provide a new service, that is at no cost to you or anyone that uses it. We will be providing " Agent Interview Service "
Here is how it works; anyone you know moving out of town; have them call me and tell me where they are going, and what they are looking for; we will use our resources and new methodology to find them the right agent.
Anyone that has lived through a bad real estate transaction will know the value, but please donīt wait for that; just give us a call and we will help find the right agent regardless of location. We receive a small referral fee from the agent we refer them to (when they close) and your friend, relative etc. gets taken care of;
We were not proactively providing this service because no one had provided a systematized approach to enable us to work efficiently. Kudos to KW training and we are happy to be able to provide yet another valuable service. So when you hear people talking about Real Estate anywhere think about us. |

A year ago, January 2009 had the least amount of single family closings from 2001 through 2009. NOW January 2010 now has the lowest number of closings for a month during the past nine years.
Some professionals believe this is the new bottom which is evidence that the recovery will be very slow.
Total single family closings in January 2010 were 8.9% less than January 2009 .Single family detached in January was a decline of 11.5% from the same year ago period and the lowest monthly total since January 1998.
According to FMLS data, "The list price to original list price ratio for single family attached closings in January was only 70.1%. This is just another indication of a weak attached market with large price cutting needed in order to move inventory.
It is predicted that we will see more foreclsoures and distressed properties sales in 2010. Making the distinction between retail and distressed even more blurred.
This information may be surprising to some because there seems to be more activity in the market. I think it can be attributed to a large number of Realtors leaving the business and good agents have learned to navigate this market.
It was announced at Family Reunion in New Orleans in late February that Keller Williams Realty is the only Real Estate Company of the top Companies to gain market share.
As I say there are opportunities in every market ... chose the Right professional to assist you in Buying or Selling Real Estate.
