  4. East Cobb Market Knowledge, Accurate Pricing – Determining the best asking price can be one of the most challenging aspects of selling a home. It is critical to get an agent who knows what they are doing, in order to maximize your net! The goal is to price your home at a price that will create immediate excitement and maximum interest from home buyers, while maximizing your results and net on the sale. Robert will provide information on recent sales from your competition zone area using the same criteria appraisers use. That standard and comfortable CMA number is where most agents stop, but it is not necessarily the right number. Each seller has different goals, and other factors must be considered for optimum results. This is where experience comes in – some homes and micro market trends and environments may allow the envelope to be pushed. Robert has experience here, and will advise you on a range of list prices and marketing plans tailored to meet your desired goals of selling at the highest possible price, in the shortest possible time, or a blend of the two.  Schedule a Free Home Marketing Analysis.

HDR processing adds a whole new dimension to real estate photos interior and exterior photography and architectural photography in general. The technique brings out the details and makes it possible to show the view out a window. HDR photographs can be more realistic and three dimensional and they can be more artistic. Photography is often over looked as a vital part of the home selling process. It is easy to stand out on the internet with excellent photography because most real estate agents will not hire a professional photographer. They do it themselves and most do not have the equipment or skills needed to produce commercial quality photos. If you are serious about selling your home, professional real estate photography is a must. Finally, quality photos and video are also a reflection of your standards as a real estate professional.

Robert has successfully refuted and won several low appraisals, saving his sellers deals from buyer termination and preserving thousands in lost equity via buyer price reduction amendments.
  10. Results That Really Matter – Many agents brag about how many homes they sold in a year or that they are #1 in their office, etc – but the fact is, volume is a metric that only tells how they did for themselves, not how well they did for their sellers! What is important is how well the seller fared, not the agent. Robert has a track record of proven success measured in results for sellers. Robert has set several neighborhood price records in various East Cobb and north Atlanta neighborhoods, outselling many well known and self professed “high-volume” agents, including selling homes after other large national franchise brokerage firms had failed. As a bonus, Robert has also saved sellers thousands in unwarranted repair demands by challenging the results of erroneous inspection reports – something ordinary agents don’t have the qualifications or knowledge to refute, or the credentials to refute. Robert has successfully challenged bad appraisals, saving his clients $25,000 – $30,000, and often has been the sole driver in keeping his clients transactions from falling apart by taking positive action when the other parties agent dropped the ball, and overcoming various challenges originating on the both sides of the table. In fact, in over 17 years, Robert has never had a signed deal for one of his buyer or seller clients fall apart – something very few agents can say. View Roberts Results For Sellers.
