Our marketing approach really works, but don’t just take our word for it. Click here to read what our sellers have to say!
It all starts with a confidential consultation…
The first and perhaps most important step in the entire selling process is the initial consultation with your Schmidt Realty Group REALTOR®. This is a no-obligation meeting where we will listen to you as you share with us what is of most concern to you in the selling process. For some it is selling quickly, for others it is a concern about privacy, for others it is knowing whether to buy or sell first. Everyone’s reasons for selling are unique and kept confidential. Next we will take an initial look at the market to see what similar homes have recently sold for, and what homes are currently available that would be competition for your property. This is an important step in determining the appropriate price range for your home in the current market. We will ask you some helpful questions, and we will really listen to what you have to say. Not everyone who meets with us decides that selling their home is the best decision for them. Our role is to be your trusted real estate advisor and to help you determine the best course of action for your specific situation. At the end of the meeting, we will each have the opportunity to decide if we are a good match to work together to achieve your goals. This meeting will form a solid foundation for our ongoing relationship and will ensure we are working towards the same goal.
We know how to get your home ready for the fussiest buyers!
Establishing a consulting relationship with your REALTOR® is an important step, but there is a lot that happens between deciding to sell your home and the day that you receive payment for your property. Your REALTOR® will walk you through the entire selling process step by step so you will be well prepared for every part of the process. We will go over everything from the way appointments are made to show your home, to marketing, to the way you will receive feedback from the market about your property. Preparing your home and the associated marketing will take a few business days. It could be done faster but it would not be done as well and we will not compromise the presentation of your home. “We were very impressed with the high quality professional photographs that were taken to display our house. We believe they were integral in selling our home in only two days.” Jane and Darren
You will receive feedback automatically after showings and will also be informed of new listings and sales which are similar to your property. As well, we will ensure that you receive the latest information about market conditions and real estate trends that may affect you.“My realtor was available to answer our questions and provide us with the latest statistics. He provided guidance and options but let us make our own decisions.” Laurie Armstrong and Marten Wright
We know you want to hear from us… and you will!
You can reach us easily by phone, pager, email or text messaging. Plus our brokerage is staffed from 9am-9pm weekdays and 9am-5pm Saturdays and Sundays. You will be able to speak with someone when you need us! We also have a unique set-up in our office where we have one of our REALTORS® available to assist should your personal REALTOR® be temporarily unavailable. We do believe in taking a day off a week in order to stay fresh and sharp and also, the moment you need us it is possible that we are in the middle of negotiating a successful offer for another client. Another team member will ensure that your needs are met! “Our second experience (with Schmidt) and we were well informed through the entire process. The Schmidt website is a great service in providing us with the updates on an ongoing basis. I would highly recommend this agency…” Jocelyn, Wanda and Larry McMinn
We will be there for you when it counts!
Everything we do is designed to make the phone ring. Calls from serious, qualified buyers and their realtors are extremely valuable. The “moment of truth” occurs when the phone rings in our office. Imagine you are a buyer and you call into our office at 8:30pm and your call is answered by a helpful staff person at the office rather than a paging service… You’d be impressed, wouldn’t you? And what if you then received a call back from a REALTOR® within 15 minutes with answers to your questions and ready to arrange for you to see the home you called about! We literally set a timer to ensure that every inquiry received by our office about your home is responded to within 30 minutes! And our REALTORS® have all received training in how to most effectively handle these incoming calls in order to bring buyers and sellers successfully together.
We take getting you the best price & terms seriously!
A successful negotiation requires knowledge, experience and creativity on the part of your representative. Your REALTOR® will advise you on the optimal strategy in each unique situation and will always be in your corner. We won’t let you settle for less than the market will bear!
Work with us on your terms!
Everything we do is done with your satisfaction in mind. However, should you decide at any point that you would prefer alternate representation, our ‘Easy Exit’ Seller Service Agreement allows you that choice. It’s what we’d want if we were the customer, and we put it in writing! Over 80% of our clients have worked with us before, or are referred to us!
“Nothing but satisfaction guaranteed. We highly recommend Schmidt Realty Group!” Bill and Barb Donnan
We’re proud of our results and hope that you will be so happy with our service that you refer us to your friends and family as well!
