Determining What You Need

YOU Make The Decisions - Our Job Is To Guide, Not Decide!

The very essence of Real Estate Consulting is giving you, the consumer, choices. But in order to make the best choices, it's important that your needs, capabilities, and time that you're able and willing to devote to the task of selling or buying a home are carefully, (and realistically) evaluated. The major failing of most online sites that feed the public a lot of data, without any guidance, is that this step is usually ignored.

Good news! We've developed Seller and Buyer Needs Analysis that will make sure that you are on the right track. In a few minutes, in the privacy of your home or office, you can review the various tasks involved in selling or buying a home, determine which ones you have the capability, time, and desire to do yourself, which ones you might like a pro to handle, and which ones you're ok with not having done at all.

Many consumers have told us that completing the analysis was the best thing they did in the selling or buying process. This analysis will help you to determine where your needs may lie, confident that tasks or expertise that you might not have thought about won't sneak up and bite you later in the process. And if you find that you need some professional assistance, we'll help you to get the most bang for your buck.

After reviewing your goals, needs and capabilities, if we honestly feel that you can do just fine without our services, we're going to tell you so. Many times, ACRE®s have met with would-be sellers or buyers who they truly felt would be better off not selling or buying at that time or not at all and they've told them just that. One thing we want you to know: we have absolutely no interest in wasting your money or time (there are plenty of outfits that do that). As ACRE®s, we have a reputation for honesty, straight talk, and ethics and that reputation is far more important to us than a few bucks from someone who doesn't need to spend it.

We're also going to tell you if we can't accommodate what you want. Sadly, many agents will do almost anything, and work with almost anyone. We won't unless we truly feel that our services are a good match with a consumer's needs.

In real estate, there's Nordstrom and there's KMart. We only do Nordstrom. Now, we will offer different ways to pay for Nordstrom, but in terms of the quality of services we provide, we will only provide Nordstrom because quality is what will leave the consumer the most money in their pocket when they walk away from the closing table, and Nordstrom is what we, as ACRE®s, will put our names to. Now, there are some consumers that may want KMart. And if you're one of those consumers, you're in luck because there are tons of KMart agents out there. But that's not what we do.

As is true in other fiduciary fields, quality real estate services and counsel will always net you the most when you sell your home, and that's after you pay a commission or fee. Discount services are a waste of your money, no matter how cheap they are.
