Why Use Us To Buy And Sell?

You know as well as I do there are a ton of Realtors out there. It seems like when the market was hot everyone and their brother got into it. So why would you use The Derrick Monroe Group when selling or buying your next property? Before proceeding, if you’re looking for that ‘tell you what you want to hear” slick salesperson who’s always calling you “buddy” and “friend” ten minutes after you meet them then I would suggest to move on...I am not that guy. I am very down to earth, love this career and will listen hard to your specific needs and put my best foot forward to help you with no sales B.S.

Our Marketing:

Marketing is crucial and just slapping a sign in the yard and placing it for sale on the MLS is not sufficient enough – you need your properties marketing to POP & JUMP out at you! This is where we come in. Our team takes advertising seriously and knows it’s crucial to present your property in the best light the first time. We use the following:

Experience:

With years of full time experience chances, are that if we run into an issue...we’ve most likely dealt with something similar before and can handle it efficiently and quickly for you. So many Realtors are part time or view this business as a job for extra income – I can assure you this is our full time career and we take it very seriously.

Communication:

Sounds simple right? Well, it is but still, many agents either just don’t get it or they are not willing to put forth the time and energy to make things happen. I go on listing appointments all the time and sellers will say “the Realtor was great when we listed but after that we can’t seem to get a hold of them, they take days to return e-mails”, and so forth. I call these agents “list-em and leave-em” Realtors. They list the house and then seem to disappear. We communicate weekly with updates and feedback from showings if applicable. We are always here to answer your questions and help guide you through the process.

Negotiation Skills:

I will be the first to admit, one of my favorite things about this business is the deal. The deal I can get for my clients whether it’s selling their home for the best money the market will bring or negotiating terms on their purchase. Anyone can take an offer over the fax machine, bring it to the client’s house and tell them where to sign BUT we take it to the next level. We negotiate strongly to get not only the price you need/want but the closing date, personal property and contingency terms that best protect you. Part of why you hire us is to work with the other buyers or sellers agents to get terms that make your life as easy as possible when it comes to moving and your bottom line. With hundreds of sold properties under our belt you can be assured our negotiating skills are sharp and we will be ready to fight hard for your needs.

Track Record For Our Sellers:

We have listed and sold hundreds of properties from homes to commercial property, from traditional sales to short sales and foreclosures. We have always been proud of our lower than average days on market and our higher than average sale prices for our sellers. We have consistently remained one of the most active home sellers in our area by marketing hard, doing the right thing by our sellers and getting top dollar. Here is a past client of ours telling you about their experience selling with The Derrick Monroe Group.
