How to Be Certain You Select & Hire the Best Agent to Sell Your Property!
Thank you for taking a look at this collection of important information about the sale of your home. For most people, the sale of their home is one of the five most important financial transactions of their entire life. All real estate agents are definitely NOT the same, so you want to select the one you trust to handle the sale of your home most carefully. The information I have provided can help you do that. Please do NOT hire an agent until you have read the enclosed material.
In the last 12 years, I have helped numbers of people with their Real Estate transactions. Many have come to me only after having horrible experiences, false starts, and long delays. I would like for you to avoid all the frequently made mistakes and enjoy the End of smooth experience that occurs when working with a true professional.
For some people, selling their home is a natural life milestone to be celebrated. For others, the sale may be motivated by a career move or transfer, a change in finances, or something else not of their choice, so the sale of the family home is a difficult decision. Either way, you simply do not need added stress of promises not kept, confu.sion, unnecessarily large numbers of unqualified “lookers” marching through your home at all hours, and pricing and presentation mistakes made that cost you tens of thousands of dollars. The information I’ve sent can help you avoid all of this.
I look forward to hearing from you and to being of service.

The Biggest Mistake a Homeowner Can Make when Interviewing Agents…
There is a lot of questionable advice out there from “personal finance experts” on TV or from friends and family. They tell you, “Interview 3 or 4 or 5 agents. then pith one.” When somebody tells me that, what they,e going to do, I ask: “What criteria are you going to use to compare them, judge them, and pick oner Many admit that they don, know. They are going to spend 3, 4, or 5 evenings interviewing different real estate agents with no pre-determined way to pick the one they will ultimately trust to handle one of the biggest and most important financial events of their life!
Let me give you a comparison you may or may not know. When a company decides to hire somebody for an important job, let’s say one that costs the company $100.000.00 or $200,000.00 a year, they have a pre-determined set of questions – a set criteria they will use to judge the people they interview. They know in advance what they are looking for. To do otherwise is to play ‘Blind Archery’. and that’s dangerous! They NEVER interview 2 bunch of people and go with the one they “like”. Or rely on, “He or she seemed nice, No, they use reason and logic. You are hiring somebody to do a very important job You should NOT play ‘Blind Archery.’
You need to know in advance he kind of agent you want, the things that are most important to you, the sm. questions to ask. For example. is the agent, track record at getting top dollar more or less important to you than the commission they quote you? Is the fact that they are a lone wolf and may be constantly and immediately accessible to you more important than their success percentage or the percentage of homes they list that actually sell? And on and on. In the following page, you will read through a fist of different “Selection Factors” to consider and weight against each other. From this list, you can make your own “Short List,” in the space provided, of the five most important things you are looking for from the agent you will hire. You also find my Facts and Answers to all of di.e Selection Factors, in abbreviated form, of course. Also included, is a list of the Top 4 Mistakes Most Commonly Made when choosing an agent. The most frequent r.ults of th.e mistakes are: the home never sells, is tied up for months, and eventually the agent is fired. The home is sold for much le. than it should have sold for, because the owner is stuck with an under-performing agent, is worn out, and just wants to get it over with.

Top 4 Mistakes to AVOID
1 Going with the agent who promises you the the most amount of money (even if the price seems unrealistic) 2 Choosing the agent who promises to save you more: the commission rate 3 Choosing the “nice” agent 4 Choosing an agent who works alone, because you think they’ll work a lot harder and give you more personal attention
The Most Frequent Results of These Mistakes Are …
1 The inflated list price you were quoted (in order to get your listing) results in few buyers coming to view your home (because they can gee a comparable, properly priced house for less money) and you end up having to endure a series of price reductions which result in your home filially selling for BELOW its true market value. 2 A lower commission does not guarantee you will net more on your home sale. According to Real Estate consultant Bernice Ross, there is a “Big Lie” in real estate. It’s the lie that reducing the commission always results in more money for the seller. Nothing could be further from the truth. Virtually all sellers want to obtain the highest price possible for their property. No matter what you are selling, maximum exposure to the marketplace is a critical factor in achieving the highest price possible. Companies who cut services in exchange for taking a lower commission often cost clients much more than the extra one to three percent they save in commission. Depending on pricc, the cost can be tens of thousands of dollars. 3 Your agent may be nice, but this doesn’t necessarily qualify them to do the best job of selling your home. Your agent’s personality will mean very little to you if you ultimately discover that they don’t have the marketing expertise to market your home properly so it sits on the market and either doesn’t sell, or sells for lower than market value. (The Chambers Team members are all great to work with AND we have a proven system to get your home sold Fast and for Top Dollar.) 4 Your agent ends up neglecting some important steps, because they are so over-busy trying to do everything all on their own (and you end up with an inferior result).

Facts and Answers to Selection Criteria
Your Home Sold Guaranteed or I’ll Buy It*
Fact: There is no substitute for proven, aggressive and effective marketing on your home. Effective marketing calls out to the buyers most qualified to buy your home. The right marketing on your home will say the right things, be in the right place at the right time, and compel qualified buyers to pick up the phone to find out more. The process of attracting buyers to your home cannot be left to chance. The exact words used to promote your home are critical. Our advertising is so effective that, at any one time, we are working with a database of over 4,359 qualified buyers. Fact: According to published Real Estate consultant Bernice Ross, a lower commission does not guarantee you will net more on your home sale. There is a Big Lie in real estate. It’s the lie that reducing the commission always results in more money for the seller. Nothing could be further from the truth. Virtually all sellers want to obtain the highest price possible for their property. No matter what you are selling, maximum exposure to the marketplace is the critical factor in achieving the highest price possible. Companies and agents, who cut services in exchange for taking a lower commission, often cost clients much more than the extra one to three percent they save in commission. Depending on price, the cost can be tens of thousands of dollars. Fact: There s a big difference between just selling your home, and getting your home sold ‘right’. There are many things to do to get your home sold for the best possible result. An agent who operates all by themselves really has to hussle to make it all happen the way it should, and it’s tough for a lone wolf’ when he/she is juggling more than one listing. Important details sometimes fall through the cracks. I know this from experience because 1 used to operate on my own. But just as doctors, lawyers and other profcmionals hire assistants to handle the small but important details that do not require their expertise, I gathered a highly talented and knowledgeable Team to ensure that you are always our top priority, that we are never too busy to address your need, and no details are overlooked. Fact: listing a home for on unrealistically high price almost always results in an unrealistically low selling price the price a home sells for is subject to the law of supply and demand. When a home is priced too high vs. comparable homes in the area, prospective buyers won’t bother to view it. Why? Because they are able to view homes with similar features that are listed for a lower price. As a result, the home that is listed too high sits on the market fora long time causing prospective buyers to assume there is something wrong with it. In order to get things moving a price reduction is often required, and in the end, the home can end up selling for much less than it would have if it had been priced correctly in the first place.
Who Hires the Chambers Team? In general, here are the people who most frequently hire The Chambers Team and Why…
CEO’s, Executives Business Owners Why? Because they run their businesses as “Teams,” so they understand and appreciate The Chambers Team System. These people are accustomed to bringing people who play different, specialized roles together as a team, and know that to be the most productive approach to complex situations — rather than having one person trying to juggle all the balls, wear all the hats. They know from their own experience that no one person can be good at everything.
Sales Professionals & Marketing-Oriented Entrepreneurs Why? They quickly recognize the benefits of The Chambers Team’s sophisticated System for selling homes as quickly as possible & for top dollar. They have the background and experience
to understand the power of the multi-media, multi-step System that Corey Chambers has perfected. They respect the fact that Corey pays to use Craig Proctor’s marketing System, and to be trained and coached by Craig — including 400 + top producers, including several Thy 10 Agents from major franchises! They see, quite simply, that The Chambers Team does more things simultaneously to get their home sold.
Doctors, Hospital Administrators & Nurses Why? Like the cxecutives, they are thoroughly familiar with the benefits of a Team Approach. It is the way they work all the time. Exceptionally Busy People Why? Because The Chambers Team’s System features methods of marketing and selling their home that minimizes their involvement
and inconvenience. For example we rarely hold a traditional “Open House.” That’s because agents tend to use your home to find buyers to work with. Those buyers rarely buy the open house they come to. We find buyer’s without displacing our clients for bag Saturday and Sunday open houses. Our preselection and quail ,ing process reduces the number of people who troop in and out of the home with no real interest in it or ability to buy it immediately. People Who Are Not Real Estate Investors or Experts Why? Most successful people have become expert in what they do, in their occupation, profession or business. They have not had the time or inclination to also become expert in finance, investments, real estate and real estate law. They do not want a “rookie” or a part time “dabble’ handling one of the most significant Financial transactions of their lives They want someone supervising every aspect of the sale of their home that is a leading authority and globally recognized expert with many years of successful experience. In short, they want the best person they can get. People Who Do Not Have Time for “Do-Overs” Why? Corey tends to attract the client who wants it done right the first time. That’s because Corey sells 98% of the homes he lists — compared to the MIS average success rate of around 84%. If you hire the wrong agent, after weeks or even months go by without your home being sold, you have to start all over again with a new agent Many sellers go through these three times before getting their home finally sold – and then they tend to compromise their price severely. The homeowner who is determined to get it right the first time compares Corey’s track word to others, and makes the obvious choice.
WARNING & SHOCKINC: FACT 72% of ALL Home Sellers DO NOT Go Back to the Some Real Estate Agent to do Another Transaction!
① Poor communication ② Over-promised, under—delivered results ③ Promised a selling price far from reality ④ Promised speed of sale far from reality ⑤ Were less experienced than they presented themselves to be ⑥ Wasted a lot of time showing the home to unqualified possible buyers ⑦ Left out a critical detail ⑧ Lack of professionalism ⑨ Hard to get a hold of ⑩ Didn’t market my home properly ⑪ Never showed my home ⑫ Too pushy ⑬ Did not help stage my home for sale ⑭ Didn’t keep in touch/no feedback ⑮ Lack of representation ⑯ Poor negotiating skills ⑰ Sold my home for low price ⑱ Too busy ⑲ My home did not sell ⑳ Didn’t do anything I couldn’t have done myself
Well, our most recent Client Survey shows that 96% of our clients say they WOULD come back to The Chambers Team! Here’s why!
“Corey Chambers helped us to sell our home for 101% of asking price, all cash, 24% faster than the average sale in the building. Corey then helped us to find a larger home and to negotiate a fair price with repairs included. He was very responsive to calls and if he didn’t know the answer to a question that we had, he always found the answer out in a timely manner. We plan to use Corey again in future real estate transactions and highly recommend him to others.” — Tammy Johnson and Mike Barker
‘‘Corey is the best realtor I have worked with by far. He is the most intelligent, intuitive, resourceful and creative realtor I have ever encountered. I will recommend him to everyone I know without any hesitation. He has been so patient with me which I really appreciate and has always listened to me. He had real conversations with me weighing the pros and cons of different options. He never once lost patience or got frustrated. I am so happy to have found Corey.” – Lauren Han
