The interview
What is your overall recommendation for Don and Cyndi Shurts?
If you're considering working with Don and Cindy, I would 100% recommend them. They just make the process so smooth. They know the market. You're gonna get the value out of your home. They couldn't be better partners.
How many transactions have you completed with them?
Don and Cindy have bought us two homes and sold two homes for us. They were our next-door neighbor at the time when we went to sell our first house. That was a first, and they did such a great job for us.
What makes their process different from other agents?
They're very transparent, and you know that what they're telling you is really the way it is. It's very realistic. They don't bring up hopes that are way out there. I've had real estate agents just really promise me the moon. Don and Cindy tell you the way it is.
How did they handle the pricing and sale of your homes?
Don was good at helping us stage our house and helping us get the right price. Both houses he sold, we sold over the asking price that we were asking for. On our first house, I had a figure in my head that I wanted to sell it for, and they put it on the market for probably almost 20,000 more than what I was thinking. And then we got even over that when we sold the house.
What was the biggest hurdle you faced during the selling process?
I would have to say probably the first house we sold, our biggest hurdle was determining the best way to show it. We had a lot of furniture and a lot of things in our home, and he brought in professionals who do staging all the time, who came in, staged our home for us, and recommended what we needed to remove or keep.
How do Don and Cyndi work together as a team?
They worked great as a partnership. Don was good at helping us stage and get the right price, and Cindy was good at finding us a house. She spent the time to find us the right houses to go look at.
