After completing the process of selling our home of 38 years we wanted to acknowledge the professionalism, expertise, client focus and insightful guidance Ken Bailey provided throughout.
We found Ken to be an exceptional listener. He initially sat with us to understand our goals, and provided thoughtful and insightful perspective on how to prepare our property, in order to optimize its value to today’s buyers while ensuring we didn’t overspend on upgrades that would end up netting us less in the long run. He provided a straightforward, databased assessment of what we could expect to realize from the property’s sale, but always emphasizing the “asking price decision” was always ours. As we attempted to determine what we hoped to receive he confirmed when our rationale was realistic but never avoided, in a professional manner, telling us when we were miscalculating/overestimating the price we might realize.
Once we had addressed our “to do list” and the property had been staged Ken invested, in our view, exceptional effort to stimulate potential buyers’ interest and activity. When the first open house did not produce the anticipated interest, he provided “unvarnished” buyer feedback with recommendations on how we should proceed. After he diligently followed-up with Agents that had indicated expected buyer offers, he scheduled an additional open house that produced our buyer within 10 days.
Having not engaged in the “real estate sales process” for almost 4 decades we were unsure of the milestones that occurred between P&S Agreement and Closing. Ken explained each process step and how they interrelated, as well as, expected timeframes. We felt very well informed and comfortable during this period because of his attention to detail and our “informational needs”.
In closing, we want to emphasize that Ken’s engagement and integrity throughout the process made it a comfortable (as much as possible) and seamless experience, and we are so grateful for his engaged efforts.
