It has successfully pooled together agents with diverse talents to provide the best of the best in every category needed to get a home evaluated, listed, marketed, and sold. Every listing has a lead agent who serves as the main contact and director of all activities. Then, each team member participates in the listing by bringing his or her own special talent. Some are excellent at crunching numbers to analyze comps and recommend appropriate pricing. Some are well-versed in marketing and can write the most appealing “sell” copy, as well as be strategic about marketing activities. Some have a keen eye and talent for staging, décor, landscaping, and getting each photo perfectly set. And some can troubleshoot a listing that isn’t selling by identifying changes that need to be made to move the needle and get it sold. The members of the Locate Team are seasoned professionals who will shepherd you through buying or selling a home, which is often the largest asset you will ever own.
