Start hereFewer clients. More attention. Better results.
I personally run every deal: prep, pricing, vetting buyers, working the lenders and the other agents. 13 years. 200+ homes. And the last 31 listings I sold, measured against the market: they sold for 2.6% more of their asking price than the typical home in town, and went under contract over 4 weeks sooner.
