Christina Rickey of Home Search Solutions is one of Birmingham, Alabama's only Exclusive Buyer Brokerages. Over the years she has assisted many clients on the purchase of a home. Many of her past clients have approached her for advice when selling a property as well. This led her to create a new service for those selling a property. The Listing Advisory Service, which is available at no cost to the property seller.
Why use the Listing Advisory Service? Selling a home can be a very stressful process. Selecting the best agent is vital. You need an agent that you can trust to act in your best interests in all aspects of your property sale. Mistakes can be costly. As a buyer's agent, she has dealt with a large number of selling agents over the years. She knows which agents are diligent, successful and professional, and which ones are not. Her expertise can help you make the right choice.
The Listing Advisory Service is free of charge to you. The listing agent will share a small portion of their commission for the referral. This means no additional cost to you other than the standard, agreed commission that you pay the selling agent to list your property. What can you expect from the Listing Advisory Service?
Christina will review the recent sold comparables and provide you with an independent, honest market price opinion of the property, justified by her knowledge of the market.
She will interview and evaluate local agents and recommend the one she believes is most likely to achieve your objectives based on knowledge of the area, overall approach, price opinion, method of sale, marketing recommendations, etc.
She will review the selling campaign, ensuring that the agent is on track and providing you with regular progress updates.
Christina will stay in touch with the listing agent from the time the listing is placed in the MLS, to contract, and through closing assuring a smooth transition.
