Seamless Mortgage Closing and Expert Agent Networking Leads to Faster Sales

Speaker 0: Great information from Chris and bouncing ideas off of other agents that you might not really get a chance to work with, that might not be directly in your network or whatnot. Yes, real good experience. Hi, my name is Maria Zimmerman Culp. I am a real estate agent for REMAXONE servicing mainly Northeast Philadelphia and Jersey Shore. Chris reached out to me and invited me. I thought it was a great idea. I attended, I bought one of my listings that had been sitting and that was priced high. The feedback was wonderful for me to share with the sellers and they agreed. We did a price reduction and we got it sold. Back in the day we used to do the caravans and everybody would get together and do lunch and it was very time consuming. This was very concise, a bunch of agents all showcasing their listings and it was about an hour and a half. And we left with, you know, papers explaining everything, everybody's thoughts and on price and condition and suggestions and stuff. It was very valuable. This was a duplex in Northeast Philadelphia and I had just sold one. This second client that had one to sell thought that theirs was just as nice as the first one, so it was challenging because it definitely was not apples to apples. Going to this and providing the feedback was you know, they're like, oh well, you know, I'm right. We need to make a price reduction. It was really nice to have a camaraderie among agents, meet some new faces and just you know have different perspectives on the different areas and things like that, different homes and listings. It's very nice. I'm in my twenty first year of real estate and I kind of know what I'm doing, what works and whatnot, but this was just such a different idea and I was like wow, like getting perspectives from 15 to 20 other agents in an hour and a half and have you know papers in hand to share with my clients, it's great. By Chris inviting me to this, I got this you know valuable information, great experience, got it sold. I shared a client with him that was looking to buy a home down the shore. It was very very competitive, multiple offers. It was one of those deals where it was listed Friday and then all offers due by Monday. His team did a great job getting it closed, we got the deal, we closed fast and my clients which are also very good friends, they said this is the fourth transaction that they've done and it was seamless, it was the easiest one. Chris and his staff just made it you know a great experience and of course they got it and they're very very happy.
