NE Houston Real Estate | Williams 4 Your Home

It is important so that I provide you the highest level of customer service to fill out the form completely including first name, last name, email, phone number, and in the comments box add anything that would help me meet your real estate needs.  You will be contacted promptly to answer the questions.

Know that in most cases buyer representation by a Realtor does not cost you anything.  The seller has a contractual agreement with their listing broker to pay the commission of the buyer’s agent at closing. So it only makes sense to have the representation of a Realtor with the complexity of today’s real estate transactions.

I hope this information has been valuable to you.  Happy home hunting, and I look forward to the day when we can meet to negotiate the terms on your dream home.

After reading these statistics, you can see the importance and value seen in using Realtor services whether buying a home (including new construction) or selling a home.  I have adapted my business in the last couple of years to match the statistics that reference where home buyers began their search - The Internet.  If you are considering a Realtor that has not adapted their business to reflect the statistics of the importance of online presence, you might want to reconsider.  I advertise my real estate listings on the Houston Association Realtors website, my professionally designed website by Magnetiks www.williams4yourhome.com, utilize virtual tour software, KW.com, Craigs List, Facebook, Twitter, and many, many more.  If such a high percentage of buyers start their search on the Internet, does it only make sense that your Realtor have a significant online presence.  Just some food for thought. 

I hope you enjoyed this information.
