What does it mean to be a “Full Time Agency”?
When you work with Brittany, you will be working with a professional who is a full time agent.
This means everyday, you have someone working for you, looking out for your best interest, regardless if you are a buyer or seller.
What does this look like if you are a buyer?
- Everyday, Brittany will be searching the MLS for homes that fit your search criteria. This helps her stay on top of the market for any fresh listings which will be sent to you daily as they come up.
- From there, you let her know which properties you are interested in. This is when the real work begins.
- She will look into each property with detailed precision. She will search comparables so you can see where your properties of interest stand in terms of others in the same area. You want to make sure you are not overpaying for a home, as well as know where you should be when presenting a solid offer.
- She will then contact the agents for each property you are interested in to learn more about the property, the sellers and their motivation, and whether or not they currently have any offers or present interest in the home.
- Once this is all done, she will set up appointment times so you can view the homes and make a decision on whether or not to move forward with an offer. This is also when you will go over the information for each home so you can make a fully informed decision when presenting an offer.
- Once this is complete and your offer is accepted, she will be working full time to coordinate all of the paperwork to close on your home, appointment dates for contractors such as termite and inspections, as well as providing you with daily updated information so you understand and are aware of where you are in the closing process.
What does this look like for sellers?
- Once you have signed a listing agreement with Brittany to sell your home, she will be working off of a detailed checklist she has created as a system to make sure your home is presented in the best light to obtain the highest offer in the least amount of time possible.
- She will focus on making sure your home is ready for market before being photographed.
- She will then hire her photographer to take high quality photos which will be the cornerstone to raise awareness and engage quality buyers to your home.
- During the listing agreement signing, she will have gone over the marketing plan to showcase your home. From here, this is where it will be executed. She will be conducting open houses on the weekends, running ads in various locations on the web and in print, and raising awareness within the OC community and beyond.
- During this time, she will be the one to intercept all calls for your listing so you will not be bothered with the constant questions buyers and agents have about your home.
- Once the offers begin rolling in, she will then go over each of them with you as they come in. She will have done the legwork of vetting these buyers by contacting the loan officers that have given pre-approvals to verify their readiness to purchase (if a loan is used), and will verify their Proof Of Funds (POF).
- Once you accept an offer, she will coordinate all of the paperwork to close on your home, meet a constant flow of deadlines and appointments, and will provide you with daily updates so you understand and are aware of where you are in the closing process.
