Why Choose Marie Young?   Results!!!

Marie works full time at real estate -- this is not a hobby, nor part-time career from afar.  I visit an average of 12 homes per week so that when it comes time to price a home or show it to buyers, I can discuss it first hand.  Marie is there through the negotiation, inspection, and appraisal.  She is the go to person who manages your entire negotiation.

Marie knows that "maximum exposure" isn't just a real estate buzz word, and puts her money where her mouth is.  Personal investments include:  Professional photographer, content-rich home website, virtual tour, tri-fold, laminated brochures, two featured home spots on realtor.com, marieyoung.net with idx and your home featured, Google presence.

Maximum exposure, that tired phrase of realtors, is actually a key component to selling your home.  But it goes beyond plastering pictures on the web --- you want your home to look it's best, and that's why Marie, an avid photographer herself, still chooses to use a professional real estate photographer and graphics designer to put your portfolio together.  She knows that homes with six or more photos get 299% more visits, and they better be the most flattering photos -- there is no second chance.  You get one chance at a first impression. 

While that first impression used to be the front of your home and entry foyer, it's now the internet.  Buyers spend an average of 4 - 6 weeks on the Internet before they even call a realtor in many cases.  They also make up their minds in the first 15 seconds or so, and after that they are talking themselves into or out of your home.  Let me help you make that experience a positive one.  Click on my listing hotline and peruse the photos, virtual tours, and tri-folds first hand, and compare them to any other photos on realtor.com.  From condo to mansion, I engage the same professional photographer for all of my sale listings, which have their own website -- rich in content, and not just a link to a virtual tour of the mls form -- the personal site provides the potential buyer everything he or she needs to realize your home is the one to buy.  Better yet, my listings generally are findable on page one of Google within the first week and a half.  Wearing your buyer hat, imagine which homes you would choose.  Marie owns TWO featured homes spots, meaning potential buyers see her listings before all others on realtor.com.  There are only 8 spots per zip code, and a waiting list.

Transaction Management -- Stop in one day and view the sometimes four inch or more thick closing files.  Marie develops a custom action plan for every seller listing and each of her buyers.  Whether you like to micro-manage or look at only the big picture, Marie has a tailored plan to meet your needs.  For sellers, you can have this plan's action steps posted in a password protected private network on the web if you so desire.  With all the steps spelled out, and completion dates noted, you know 24 / 7 where your listing stands. 

Crisis Management -- Everything from last-minute surprise paperwork to using chemicals to dry up and discard paint that buyers decide they don't want at the last minute is just the tip of what Marie manages for her clients.  Anticipation of the unforeseen and preventing crisis is probably Marie's greatest asset.

These are just a few of the highlights.  Call Marie for a free consultation.
