The National Association of Realtors writes, "Consumers want their real estate agent to be tech-savvy and offer lower fees than their competitors, finds a new survey by the real estate brokerage Redfin of nearly 1,000 recent home buyers and sellers." This is like a mission statement of Nesbitt Realty. Our agents are well-versed in the best real estate technology tools in the business and (unlike other brokers---including Redfin) Nesbitt Realty NEVER CHARGES ADMIN FEES!
Brothers working together at the office
NAR says, "About 62 percent of buyers and sellers said they are looking for lower fees in a real estate transaction. However, 22 percent of those surveyed said that low fees actually made them worry about the quality of the service." Admin fees are usually about $500 per transaction in Northern Virginia. These fees are often the life-blood of the large-chain brokerage. But what if you could get the same services as you would get from a national chain, but deal with a family-business? That's why our clients love Nesbitt Realty.
Buyers and sellers are also taking notice of what technology agents are using to help them on their house hunt or sale. Fifty-seven percent of buyers and sellers surveyed said the technology their real estate agent uses is important to them. On the other hand, 31 percent of consumers surveyed said “the only thing that matters is the quality of the agent.”
Nesbitt Realty uses the same Internet, the same MLS, the same advertising streams as the big brokerages. We use the same or better technology tools and we do it without charging our clients an admin fee.
It's also said that besides low fees and technology, the majority of buyers surveyed also indicated that they valued responsiveness in a real estate agent. In fact, it was the most sought-after trait for an agent among buyers. Forty-seven percent of buyers surveyed rated responsiveness as key — even over professionalism, local expertise, and experience.
Will Nesbitt
Our agents pick up the phone. We don't roll you over to voicemail. Not only can you talk to your Nesbitt Realty agent, you can always reach out the principal broker, father and founder of Nesbitt Realty, Will Nesbitt.
Sellers, on the other hand, rated responsiveness as the least important quality to them in a real estate agent. Instead, 44 percent of sellers said “experience selling homes like mine” was the most sought-after trait for them in a real estate agent. You might be surprised to learn that we agree with the respondents. That's why if Nesbitt Realty is not the best brokerage for your property, we'll be the first to tell you. We know what we are good at selling and we know when another agent would be a better fit.
We are a family-run business. You don't have to settle for a national chain.Source: “What Buyers, Sellers Want From Their Agent,” NAR Blog (March 23, 2015)
Nearly 10 percent of U.S. residents say they are so dissatisfied with their current housing, neighborhood, local safety, or public service to the point that they want to move, according to a newly released U.S. Census report, "Desire to Move and Residential Mobility: 2010-2011." But other factors are also making more Americans desire to switch their residences.
In its report, the Census recently highlighted several segments of the population who are showing some of the highest desires to move. Here are some of its findings:
1. Young householders: About 14.6 percent of Americans age 16 to 34 said they would like to move, compared to 10.3 percent of Americans age 35 to 54, and 6.3 percent age 55 and older.
2. Renters: 16.5 percent of all renters say they would like to move -- more than double the rate of home owners.
3. Those who live in impoverished areas: Home owners who lived in neighborhoods with a high poverty rate tended to show more desire to move.
4. Households with children: 14.3 percent of households with children said they wanted to move compared with 8.7 percent of households who did not have children.
5.Households with a disability: 12.5 percent of households with a disability said they wanted to move compared to 8.2 percent of those without a disability.
