A question we often get asked is “how do I sell my home for top dollar?” The numbers don’t lie: Robin Martin & Associates, on average, gets more money for your home!
Our 2021 annual review covers the Centennial High School market of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Roswell. The results show Robin Martin & Associates succeeded in selling 100% of their listings, went under contract in an average of 6 days, which is roughly 3x faster than the local market average, and sold at a higher valuation!
Claims of a no-hassle, guaranteed sale, saving on commissions, etc. are separating homeowners from tens of thousands of dollars at the closing table.
What about commissions? There are a host of scripts, pressure tactics, and tons of marketing dollars spent on radio, TV, social media, and billboards to convince you that you should accept an offer without listing with a top agent, or that you should list with a discount broker.
The reality is that there are a host of companies and individuals whose primary goal is to sell YOU and not your home for top dollar. Teams like Robin Martin & Associates earn their commission and get you more money when it comes time to sell your home!
Why not sell directly to a buyer? Our research shows, based on a case study of one of the largest communities in the Centennial High School market, that homeowners who did not list their home, ended up selling at roughly an 8% lower valuation compared to the market average and 11% lower than Robin Martin & Associates.
For example, Robin Martin & Associates listed a home in January 2022, in which the homeowner was approached by a buyer to sell directly. After explaining to the seller that listing with Robin Martin & Associates has proven to deliver superior results, they decided to move forward with listing their home!
By utilizing our free listing concierge service and our custom marketing plan, we were able to get our sellers a contract in 3 days and $160,000 more than the private offer AND no appraisal or finance contingency! The valuation was at $272 PSF, compared to the market average of $185 PSF, and an all-time record high valuation for this community!
Who benefits when you choose not to list your home with a top agent? The buyer, buyer’s agent, discount brokers, and investors are clearly the winners but not you as the seller!
Is a Guaranteed Offer easier?
Simply put, it’s easier if you want to lose money at the closing table. Last year, Robin Martin & Associates’ listings netted over $19,000 more per sale than the largest “guaranteed offer” broker in the Atlanta Market. With 100% of our listings getting sold, under contract in 6 days, and for more money, we believe this is a pretty no-hassle way of getting your home sold fast and for top dollar.
Do Discount Brokers/Agents Save You Money?
When comparing our performance to one of the most prominent discount brokers in our local market, we realized that Robin Martin & Associates was netting our clients $100,000 or more. This is a substantial amount that homeowners are losing at the closing table!
To drive the point home, we recently took over a failed listing by a discount broker in which the home had been listed for months, with a list price of $667,000. The homeowner reached out to us to see if we could help and we exceeded their expectations! The home sold for $725,000 and it was on the market for 2 days, so we not only sold their home quickly but also $58,000 over the previous asking price. Even adjusting for extra commission, the seller still earned roughly $50,000 more by using Robin Martin & Associates.
We understand that putting your home up for sale can be overwhelming and that is why we have developed one of the most recognized listing concierge programs in North Atlanta! Our dedicated team can help get your home ready to list, get you top dollar, find and move you into your new home, and everything in between!
