My honest opinion is that there is nothing Dana could have done better. She was excellent in helping us obtain our dream home. Dand held our hand through the whole process. This is our first home and we honestly had no clue as to what to do. We will always be extremely grateful for the hard work she did for us. If it wasn't for Dana, literally holding our hands through the whole process, I do not believe we would have been able to obtain our dream home. Her upbeat attitude and encouragement relieved a lot of pressure for myself and my husband. Buying a home can be very stressful, fortunately Dana was more than willing to carry the largest part of the burden. - Kelly Hanson

The fact is, there isn't much more to the average agent than the agent themselves. Most agents operate a one-person show - and they're probably breaking their backs trying to do a good job for their clients. Most agents couldn't really work any harder than they're already working. We know, because we used to do it this way. But we don't anymore because we found that our client's suffered from our good intentions. The fact is, you may be sympathetic to the fact that your agent is working as hard as humanly possible, but if the quality and profitability of your home sale suffers as a result of them trying to do everything themselves . . . well, . . . you have a right to feel cheated This is the boat we were once in...and felt we were sinking fast. So we took it upon ourself to develop a much better system for selling people's homes. The simple explanation is that we built a team of professionals to help us be in 10 places at once, and therefore greatly enhance the quality of service we can deliver to our clients. This is basically how other professionals like your banker or lawyer operate. And on top of this, we've used cutting edge technology to dramatically improve the speed, efficiency and innovative capabilities of every part of the service we deliver. We don't expect you to care about the fine-details of the inner-workings of our office. What you should care about is simply this. Because of the highly unique way we've structured our real estate office . . . Our client's homes sell for more money in less time!
The Mike Grbic Team SELLS homes for 2.3% MORE $$ and 20 DAYS FASTER than the competition!
How much does this add to your home selling profit?
If your home sold for: | $125,000 means $2.875 MORE to YOU | $150,000 means $3,450 MORE to YOU | | $180,000 means $4,140MORE to YOU | $250,000 means $5,750 MORE to YOU |
And because our Team sells a lot of homes, we have extensive homeselling experience that puts more money in our client's pockets. |
