On The Fence About Selling?
Selling your Resort or Investment Property on the Grand Strand requires experience, I have it. It also requires a unique, steady flow of potential oceanfront buyers, and the ability to match that interest with what is available. Knowing inventory is key, but providing a completeto prospective buyers upfront, and additional info when requested is the NUMBER ONE thing successful agents do to close properties over others. When you hire Lawrence you hire someone who pays attention to the details of your specific case.
Every dollar counts. Maximizing the equity you built over so many years is critical, and protecting it with every decision(big or small) over the months it takes to close your home sale. Every one of my listings gets my personal attention daily. Weekly reports are published via email with Viewing Feedback, Internet Page Views, Neighborhood Hotsheet, and if anymore detail is needed my sellers can pick up the phone and call me directly.

If you are considering to hire us to represent your next selling transaction please review the major points I provide below to help show why our services would more than pay for themselves.
1. Multiple Listing Services and Online Marketing If you are reading this you are researching your next transaction, and you are doing it online, if you were searching for a home you would be starting in the same place as well. 92% of buyers now search online, of that 43% closed on a home they found on the internet, 9% from a yard sign, 1% from print/newspaper, and 45% from a home that arose through the process of buying with a Realtor.
The days of selling your house by just putting up a sign and putting it in the paper are long gone. Having a strong internet strategy is crucial. From day one when your listing goes active it will be presented pristinely on all the major real estate search engines listed in the diagram of our listing providers. Tens of thousands of people are actively searching online with registered accounts to the search engines in the diagram, and regularly receive updates on new matches.
2. Social Media Marketing
While social media can be a time absorbing in some ways it can be useful in others. we utilize the Big 3, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, as well as other, and will continue to stay on the frontier of social media.
• Give virtual tours
• Connect with past, current and potential clients
• Update your audience about market changes and new homes on the marketAdvertise listings and open houses
• Create dialogue with clients
• Reach clients and prospects wherever they are and where they like to receive info, through a computer at work, a tablet at home or virtually anywhere else through a mobile device
3. Negotiating
When offers come it is a critical time to handle each one dilligently. Crucial information can be obtained to understand how to move forward if you know what to say and how to say it. As well as what not to say, and how not to say it. It is arguably the part of the job I look forward to the most and the handling of every bid gets my best foot forward. While negotiating a purchase price is one thing, negotiating through the Inspection/Repair procedure can be quite different. Knowing elements of home pricing items and the contractors who are available to do the work helps save you potential thousands, and you need an agent that knows it all goes to affect your bottom line.
4. Personal Attention of Time and Resources
While I have not been doing this job for decades like some agents, I can still provide something they can't, more time and attention to the details of your transaction. Everyone of my listings gets daily attention. Weekly showing reports that include showing feedback of custom questions, internet activity, inquiries, and market conditions is provided to keep you in the loop. I can be reached easily by phone and email and relied on to respond promptly if not right away. A 'mass listing agent' with 40+ Active Listings cannot claim to effectively provide personal attention and focus on details, and the tinest specifics are what you are paying someone to focus on.
Selling your biggest investment is something most people only do a couple times in their entire life, when you call Lawrence you get a professional that does it at least 15 times per year. Every dollar counts. Maximizing the equity you built over so many years is critical, and protecting it with every decision(big or small) over the months it takes to close your home sale.
You can only judge after the process has ended if intangible services were truly worth the money, beforehand all that can be done is to take the information you research and make the best decision possible. The key to selling your home for the most money is numbers, more the better. More appointments, more showings, more feedback, more offers, and this is the area Remax will be the most effective. You will have atleast 5 times more potential buyers who are ready, willing, and able considering your home than you would marketing yourself. the question will not be if I can find someone to buy your home, it will be who is going to pay the most?
When people relocate to the Grand Strand from out of the area, they rarely do it without the assistance of a local real estate agent, if ever. When you have you home listed with Remax not only do you have the Number 1 firm in the Coastal Carolinas MLS representing your interests, but also 1,500 acive agents the area all working to sell your home to buyers searching homes just like yours.
