When you list your home with me, you get my No
Regrets Listing™
We Have More Buyers! We Have Better Buyers! My No Regrets Listing® Written Marketing Plan My objectives are the following:
Many Agents think their most important job is satisfying the customer. I don’t think that’s true. I believe that satisfying the customer is simply the minimum requirement for staying in business. I work constantly to improve my systems, processes and services to go well beyond the standard level of "service" provided by most agents. Simply put, my objectives are to get you the most money in the least time, and with the fewest problems! I want to provide the best service in the industry. Period. The following are the proactive steps I guarantee will be done to get your home or property sold:
We
Have More Buyers! We Have Better Buyers! Repeat Customers - Our experience, expert knowledge of the market, sales skills, professionalism, and advanced education helps us to retain more customers and clients for life. Many clients have bought and sold multiple properties with us, and then their children do the same thing. 57% of my business in 2007 was from repeat clients and 84% of my business came from people I know or my center of influence. Referrals - RE/MAX is the #1 franchise in the world! With a brand that is bigger than itself, RE/MAX has more agents in more countries than any other franchise, and our referral network is second to none. Agents from all other companies frequently use RE/MAX Associates for their referrals because they know they can depend on our experience, service and ultimately, the clients’ satisfaction. Sign Calls – Because we list and
sell more homes, we have more sign calls. A buyer may not purchase
that particular property, but our experience and knowledge enables
us to convert those sign calls into active clients who get
pre-approved and ultimately purchase your home or another home
through us. In addition, my own
personal real estate websites all enjoy top ranking on all search
engines, and produce hundreds of leads. My #1 site,
www.AtHomeUtah.com currently has over 200 active buyers searching
for homes. Entrepreneur Magazine ranks RE/MAX among the top ten in four different franchise categories. In addition to being the tenth best of all franchises, the Denver-based real estate franchisor was ranked number one in the low-cost franchise category, number seven among global franchises, and number ten in the fastest-growing franchise category. Sales Associate Quality – RE/MAX agents make up 7% of the National Association of REALTORS®, but have 18% of the total market share nationally. RE/MAX agents are #1 in CRS, ABR, and SRES Designations nationally. Locally, our average agent has been in business 9.2 years, while the board average is 3.1. On average we sell more than 6 times the number of properties than the average agent in our board sells.

and Selling? Save even more! The No Regrets Listing® Home Marketing System • Sell
your property yourself, while it is listed, and pay no
commission. Many Agents think their most important job is satisfying the customer. I don’t think that’s true. I believe that satisfying the customer is simply the minimum requirement for staying in business. I work constantly to improve my systems, processes and services to go well beyond the standard level of "service" provided by most agents. Simply put, my objectives are to get you the most money in the least time, and with the fewest hassles, and No Regrets! I want to provide the best service in the industry. Period. I want to make you so satisfied that you listed your home with me that you will gladly refer me to your friends. Why Dan Walker? Ordinary Realtors vs. Dan Walker The
average agent sells 2 houses per year; • My loyal clients. I
have been selling real estate in the greater
• Additional savings. I offer a "Client Reward Program" to my sellers who need to purchase another home, whether a new build or resale. With this program, clients save even more when they both sell and buy through me. Q & A Q: Why should we list our home for sale with you? A: You should hire me for the same reason that dozens of sellers have used me over and over again for more than 7 years. They know that they can depend on me to get them the most money, in the shortest amount of time, with the fewest hassles. Visit www.DanHelpedUs.com to see what some of my clients say about me. My No Regret Listing Home Marketing system offers benefits that the ordinary agent does not. My program offers flexible commissions to put more money in your pocket, a client reward program when both buying and selling that actually saves you even more money, a cancel anytime policy, and the right to sell your home yourself and pay me nothing. The average agent handles around 4-6 sales a year. When hiring anyone to perform a job for you, experience should weigh heavily in that decision. Who really wants to be the surgeon’s first patient? Let’s examine one of our program benefits; we allow you to cancel the listing at anytime. Most agents will not give the consumer this right. You might ask yourself why agents need to "lock you up" for four to six months. Why would they be afraid to give you the right to cancel? My philosophy is that I would rather strive to earn your business every day. I’m confident that I can provide a superior level of service and care. If I don’t, I don’t deserve your business. It is that simple. Q: I heard that there are limited service agents who charge less. Why shouldn’t I hire the cheapest agent? A: Sellers don’t need an agent just to sell their house. They need an agent to sell their house for more! If your property would sell for the same price no matter who sells it – it probably would be in your best interest to sell the home yourself. In that case, why pay any agent? The fact of the matter is I can sell your home for more. I have the track record I do because I am an expert at pricing the property (using a specific supply-demand analysis prior to even looking for "comps") and an expert at creating the greatest amount of exposure for your property. Even at contract presentation, I do not follow the pack. I do not permit other agents to pressure you into a rash decision. The contract will be presented to you by me alone. This specific action (especially when there are multiple offers) gets significantly more dollars for my sellers. It is very difficult for a seller not to transmit emotions and reactions to another agent. That can cost a seller money. Sadly, there are many agents who need the deal (sometimes more than you do). The weakest negotiator in any transaction is the one who has to have the deal. We are in the fortunate position of having enough clients that any one deal won’t make us or break us. Therefore the negotiations are really about getting you the most money for your home. Period. If the offer doesn’t make sense, you can count on us to tell you so. In addition to these points above, with my sliding scale commission (6% - 4% - 1% - 0%) and my Client Reward Program, my fees in many cases are even less than the limited service broker. Q: Why do you sell more homes than other agents? A: My
experience, product knowledge, doing the little things right,
effective marketing programs, and extensive education all add up to
positive results. Every field has people who, through their drive
and passion, manage to excel. A: Absolutely
not. Most of my listings sell at or near full price or above. I make
it my business to know the market, so I can ensure I get the highest
possible price for my sellers. My homes typically sell faster than
the average agent because of the effective marketing we do. I
accomplish this by first doing a supply/demand analysis in the
immediate area for any home we consider marketing. All agents have
access to the same market information. It is the evaluation of what
that information means to the marketing of a home that matters.
X-rays mean nothing until they are evaluated by a competent doctor.
Similarly, knowing what the market is doing in any area affects both
the marketing time and value. Factors like area, demand, condition,
pricing, accessibility, and agent choice all affect a home’s time on
market. A: The exposure your home gets while listed with us is second to none. My signs throughout the valley connect us with buyers in all price ranges and areas. My ads and signs also reference our websites, resulting in additional contact. Here buyers can view our "featured homes" in addition to shopping the broader market. Our presence on Realtor.com, Remax.com, UtahRealEstate.com, and several other major web sites insures maximum property exposure to buyers throughout the country. Even small details, such as multiple digital photos of homes, increase the attention we attract to our homes. Another important link is our marketing to the agent community. Remember there are over 16,000 agents that we want to think of us first when preparing to show properties to their buyers. Q: If we list with you, will my home be on the internet? A: Absolutely! All of our ads prominently feature our website address. Your home will also be prominently featured on Realtor.com, the number one real estate website in the world, as well as on AOL.com and MSN.com. To increase buyer interest in our properties we’ve secured a featured homes position. Per Realtor.com, our listings are viewed twenty times as often as a regular listing on Realtor.com. According to the National Association of Realtors "Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers", almost 80% of home buyers used the internet when starting their home search process. Q: If we list with you, will we be on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)? A: Again,
absolutely! Any agent who does not place your home on MLS is doing
you a huge disservice. With over 6,000 agents in the valley and
13000 in
Q: Shouldn’t I pick an "area specialist" to sell my home? A: There are agents who focus primarily on one geographic area or neighborhood. But buyers come from all over the valley and country, not just from that small neighborhood. So an area specialist usually really means "listing agent" in the area. Many years ago the real estate business was successfully composed of lots of small "boutique" offices - where companies did specialize in a certain area or part of town. But computers, the Internet, and cell phones have changed that aspect of the real estate business. Now the important points in selecting an agent are experience, track record, and marketing skills. Q: Once I have reviewed your No Regrets Listing package, then what? A: Contact my office by email or phone, and I will set up an appointment to meet with you. We will tour the home, go over recent market activity in your area to educate you on values, and make recommendations for maximizing your profit and increasing your speed of sale.
A: Once I have a signed listing agreement and a spare key, I can have your home on the market within 24 hours. However, it usually takes a day or two for the sign and riders to be installed. Q: Can I save more money if I buy and sell through you? A: Absolutely! If you are selling more than one house or plan to both sell and buy (new or resale), ask me about my Client Rewards Program. |
