So many families were hurt in the real estate bubble….the James Harner Group is raising the bar.
Buying or selling a home at the best price by the date you want with less stress is difficult. Your real estate agent needs to have great skills in unique specialties:
- neighborhood and block histories
- housing stock, zoning, construction
- finance
- data analysis
- contract law
- traditional marketing
- internet advertising
- negotiation
- mediation
- — a degree in marriage therapy and family counseling is helpful.
Do you know any one in any industry that is good at all of those things?
Neither are most agents. In fact, in Pennsylvania an agent only needs 60 hours of classroom training to get a license and instructors frequently joke that what is taught might keep them from getting sued but otherwise won’t be very useful.
Furthermore, the average agent nationwide closes only 7 transactions a year earning about $15,000 net which is a recipe for selling out their clients best interests out of desperation to “get the deal done” and take home commission.
Raising the Bar
Our solution was to develop a “Blue Ocean” business model based onthe “uncommon experiences and extraordinary results” desired by our affluent clientele.
We studied hundreds of top performing agent teams and brokerages, the best statistical models of economists at Ivy League universities, and the internet marketing strategies of top consultants like Jay Abraham and customer service standards of Fortune 500 companies like Ritz Carlton and Zappos.
Then we built the best of what they do into our business model.
Compare the following to what you probably have seen 99.9% of agents and brokerages do.
- Confidential Home Search Engines
- Uniquely Tailored Programs for Unique People
- In Depth Local Market Research
- Fortune 500 style Marketing and Presentation
- Paperless Agent Process to Simplify the Process and Eliminate Waste
- 5 Star Customer Service Standards
Of course to provide these high standards, our agents specialize in one discipline of real estate, either Buyer representation or Seller representation and only work with limited number of clients.
- Sellers
- Buyers
