As you know, almost everyone begins their home search online. There is nothing wrong with this as long as you take information from sites like Zillow and Trulia with a grain of salt. These sites are often inaccurate and outdated, and have frustrated many buyers and sellers.

For example, a few weeks ago a client sent us 12 homes they wanted to see that they had found online. We discovered that only 2 of the homes were available - the others were sold, under contract, and a few hadn't been on the market for years. Another problem with Zillow and Trulia is that their algorithms can't take into account trends in the local market and upgrades that have been made to homes. Since Texas is a non-disclosure state, what a home sells for is not public record. This makes it even more difficult for these sites to give you an accurate home estimate.

As you can see, Zillow and Trulia simply don't have access to the relevant information to make your buying or selling process any easier. That's why it's best to work with a local real estate professional. Don't hesitate to give us a call or shoot us an email if you have any questions about the market. We will help get you the information you need for a successful transaction.

Why Hire Me?

I wanted to take a few moments to go over reasons why you (as a seller) should hire my team to sell your property. I will have you know that we use a proactive approach to sell our homes. In fact, it would take 30 agents to sell as many homes as we did last year when we're talking about our sales volume. Since I have started this company, our growth has doubled nearly every year. 

A few reasons why my team is superior:

• We Work with a Team Concept: I am a firm believer in this concept. I divide the work to various employees of mine who are hyper-qualified to do their jobs for you. Because of this, the transaction is seamless and smooth for you, while managing to get you top dollar on your home. I used to try to do this all on my own, but now I have a highly efficient and professionally trained team to get the job done for you. Everyone here is a licensed real estate agent, too.
• I have a call center with 3-4 people on the phone all day, hunting down buyers for our listings, as well as looking for new listings. The more listings we have, the more buyers we will have.
• Our average days on market for our re-sale properties is at 23 days, which is almost three times faster than your average agent in Austin, (average days on market was 61 days last year in Austin).
• I am a Member of the Austin Luxury Network: If you have luxury property in Austin, I can also satisfy your needs. I have access to pre-MLS homes where the top luxury agents in Austin post these shadow properties. 
• I was Awarded the 30 Under 30 Award by the National Association of Realtors: I won this award for being one of the top 30 brokers in the country under 30 years old. I'm not trying to brag about this, I'm trying to apply for a job because I want to be your realtor.

Thanks for taking the time to watch this video. Your business is always greatly appreciated. If you know anyone who wants to sell their home in Austin, then please let me know because I am your top resource for real estate.
