Buying & Selling
We don't "push" you to buy or sell:
We center our primary business around property management. Our owners like that because with many alternative offices, they are more inclined towards sales and consequently will bombard a person with requests and opportunities to buy and sell your investment, especially when you are not interested.
However, having said that, we do handle purchases and sales, we just don't "push" you into doing anything. We are licensed Realtors and handle purchases and sales strictly for our owners that want to get involved in a transaction. If you were originally referred to us by an outside Real Estate Company and agent, we are obligated to send you back to them for any non-management real estate transactions.
Using us gives you several advantages:
Our office provides our owners with some advantages when it comes to buying and selling that other "sales" oriented organizations may not.. First of all, we don't "need" the commission from the sale to survive. That provides an atmosphere of trust to the transaction.
In addition, if you list your property through us we can potentially save you commission dollars or at the very least make the commission split more attractive to outside offices. This is especially true if we were to sell your property to the tenant that we put into the property.
Finally, if you are buying, we have a better understanding of what to look for in a rental. We know what level of rent you are really going to get. It is not in our best interest to tell you an inflated rental price in order to make the sale.
Keep in mind that there isn't a perfect type of rental property or a perfect area in which to buy. Every property can be a gold mine if the right price. Remember, you make your money when you buy. If you pay too much, it may not matter where it sits or how good it looks, it may never be a good investment.
Widen your opportunities:
Another thing to remember, is that you can always try to do both lease and sell at the same time. Many owners get frustrated with trying to get a renter and then decide to sell instead. Why not do both? Usually an owner is happy as long as they have a tenant. When the property becomes vacant, have us list it for sale and for lease. Then, which ever happens first is the way you can go.
