- NBNancy BlumMay 28, 20255.0Working with "Mr. Mel" to sell our home was an exceptional experience. His market expertise, strategic approach, and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From pricing our home competitively to navigating negotiations with confidence, Mel guided us every step of the way. Thanks to his professionalism and attention to detail, we sold quickly and at a fantastic price. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor and highly recommend Mr. Mel to anyone looking to buy or sell their home! Thank you, Mel!

Highly recommend!
- CHChris HainesDec 31, 20245.0Working with Mel and Judy is always such a pleasure and they both did a fantastic job!! Selling this property had some snags in it but you wouldn't know it because Mel handled it smoothly as expected! Mel is your man so if you're not listening with him I have no idea why you didn't make that decision! Thanks Mel!

Frequently Asked Questions About M R Real Estate
Why should I list my home with you? What makes you so different?
The real estate market is more challenging than it was ten years ago. What specific marketing plans and programs does this agent have to ensure that your home stands out compared to other competing homes? What unique offerings does this agent provide to help you sell your home quickly, easily, and for the best price? Ensure you clearly understand what sets them apart.
What is your company's track record and reputation in the marketplace?
It may seem like everywhere you look, real estate agents are boasting about being #1 for this or that or quoting you the number of homes they've sold. If you're like many homeowners, you've probably become immune to much of this information. After all, you ask, "Why should I care about how many homes one agent sold over another? The only thing I care about is whether they can sell my home quickly for the most amount of money."
Well, because you want your home sold fast and for top dollar, you should be asking the agents you interview how many homes they have sold. I'm sure you will agree that success in real estate is selling homes. If one agent is selling a lot of homes while another is selling only a handful, ask yourself why this might be. What things are these two agents doing differently?
You may be surprised to know that many agents sell fewer than ten homes a year. This volume makes it difficult for them to do full-impact marketing on your home because they can't raise the money it takes to afford the advertising and special programs to give your home a high profile. Also, at this low level, they probably can't afford to hire an assistant, which means that they're running around trying to do all the components of the job themselves, which means service may suffer.
What are your marketing plans for my home?
How much money does this agent spend on advertising the homes they list versus the other agents you are interviewing? In what media (newspaper, magazine, TV, etc.) does this agent advertise? What does she or he know about the effectiveness of one medium over the other? Advertising is essential when it comes to getting the best price for your home.
What has your company sold in my area?
Agents should bring you a complete listing of their own, and other comparable sales in your area.
Does your broker control your advertising or do you?
If your agent is not in control of their own advertising, then your home will be competing for advertising space not only with this agent's other listings but also with the listings of every other agent in the brokerage.
On average, when your listings sell, how close is the selling price to the asking price?
This information is available from the local Real Estate Board. Is this agent's performance higher or lower than the board average? Their performance on this measurement will help you predict how high a price you will get for the sale of your home.
On average, how long does it take for your listings to sell?
This information is also available from the Real Estate Board. Does this agent tend to sell faster or slower than the board average? Their performance on this measurement will help you predict how long your home will be on the market before it sells.
How many buyers are you currently working with?
Obviously, the more buyers your agent is working with, the better your chances are of selling your home quickly. It will also impact price because an agent with many buyers can set up an auction-like atmosphere where many buyers bid on your home at the same time. Ask them to describe the system they have for attracting buyers.
Do you have a reference list of clients I could contact?
Ask to see this list, and then proceed to spot-check some of the names.
What happens if I'm not happy with the job you are doing to get my home sold? Can I cancel my listing contract?
Be wary of agents that lock you into a lengthy listing contract which they can get out of (by ceasing to effectively market your home) but you can't. There are usually penalties and broker protection periods which safeguard the agent's interests, but not yours. How confident is your agent in the service she or he will provide you with? Will she or he allow you to cancel your contract without penalty if you're not satisfied with the service provided? Knowing the answers to these questions will help protect your best interests.
