3 Ways We're Different From Your Typical Real Estate Agent
By Scott Morris
When you think of real estate agents, you probably think about someone who walks you through some houses, helps you sign some paperwork, or gives you a list of house projects you need to do before you put your house on the market—in other words, someone who helps you with a transaction and then sends you marketing materials now and then.
That’s why people are always surprised when they hear about what we do for our clients. At SRM Real Estate Group, we not only build long-term relationships with our clients, we also provide a unique service model that helps them build a better life. Here’s how we help our clients save time, save money, and change lives.
1. Save Money
We all know that real estate agents get paid through commissions. And we usually don’t think twice about that. But you should, because commission percentages vary and could potentially cost you thousands of dollars. At SRM, we believe that you should benefit from the deep knowledge and experience of a real estate agent who goes the extra mile while also saving money that you could put toward your dreams. We see it as our way to reinvest in your life so you can go on that dream vacation, grow your retirement account, or send your child to college.
Our flat fee for sellers means you get more money from the sale of your property, and our buyer rebates give you money back at closing. Not to mention, our in-house mortgage broker scours the mortgage options available and finds you the right loan to achieve your goals.
2. Save Time
Time is as valuable as money, right? We know that you are busy and would rather spend your time with those you love or on the hobbies you enjoy. Our agents are committed to your goals and take the time to understand you and your life, which means they can help you through a tailored home-buying or selling process and avoid wasted time. We know the market intimately and our expertise helps us narrow down exactly what you need.
Our in-house mortgage company not only keeps more money in your pocket, but saves you the time of finding the loan that is right for you. It will also save you the headache of connecting and coordinating your lender with your real estate agent. We shop the mortgage market for you, take care of all the searching, and handle all the paperwork for an efficient close. In other words, we do the work so you don’t have to.
3. Change Lives
Yes, we care deeply about saving our clients money and time, but we go beyond that. As a social purpose company, we make a donation to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and our client’s preferred charity at every close. We are here to make a difference, not just in our clients’ lives but for the causes they care about too.
