See Houses for Free When You Are a Buyer!

April15
Buying a home means that you have to get into the home to see it, right? Most buyers can not make a decision to buy a home until they have a deep understanding about what they are buying, the area they are buying in and what the home will mean to them. This means seeing homes with their agent, through open houses or via lock boxes, or having the listing agent let them into the home. Read the rest of this entry »

Does Pricing Matter?

April12

Search the Internet right now in any price range and then ask yourself, are you expecting to see every home in your price range? Of course you do, why else would you be searching? So why is it that many marketing geniuses are still pricing homes for example at $299,900? Let’s run a quick scenario. You are a buyer looking from 300K to 400K. You use the search engine pull down menu on any major real estate website and pull 300K to 400K. Do you think to then look at 250K to 300K to see what is priced at $299,900? No probably not.

Good News!

I’m not a financier and I can’t predict what our economy will do.  I do know from my own personal experiences.  Things are changing and for the better. My husband and I have been married for the past 31 years, and the past 30 my husband has been in the used car business. Last Fall 09 he saw the worst months ever since he has been in the business.

Duffy Realty Now has a Premier Division

March27

Two agents from Sothebys have joined Duffy Realty to offer our clients a higher level of service.  They have a very specific game plan and offer coaching and strategy sessions by phone after the initial visit every 2 weeks until your property is sold.  We are using technology that is efficient to provide constant communication between you and them.  There is more marketing involved, follow-up with showings and more attention is placed on your individual specifics. You should not use this program if you are unsure about selling your property.

The fee is 5.25% at closing with 3% of that going towards a buyer’s agent.  At closing we will also return the money that you have spent upfront.

If you have a need and desire to have more specific attention to be put on your property, please call Customer Support at 678-366-3791 to get your property transferred to Duffy Realty’s Premier Marketing Strategy.
