Why should you choose a real estate team instead of a solo agent when buying or selling a home in southwest Ohio?

As you probably know, Tami Holmes Real Estate Experts is a large team of real estate specialists. According to The Wall Street Journal and Real Trends, we sell more real estate than anyone in southwest Ohio. We think there are many reasons this is a very good thing.

Let me say that there are many competent, caring solo agents out there, and we have great respect for them in their work. How are we different, though? What are the benefits of using my team when buying or selling a home?

First, you have access to an expert when you have a question. We know that agents are often busy with clients showing homes, writing contracts, and many other things. This means they simply can’t be available to all their clients when a need arises. That’s why we have licensed, knowledgeable people to answer your questions immediately when you call. Our phones are answered by friendly, real humans in our office. They can direct your call to someone familiar with your situation who won’t stop until your concern is resolved.

Secondly, we have an entire staff of highly trained specialists. When you put your home on the market, it’s overseen by someone who does this and nothing else all day, every day. When you have a home with an accepted purchase contract, your file will be handled by our razor-sharp closing coordinators who take care of the myriad of details and proceed to closing. They have countless phone calls, texts, and emails to appraisers, inspectors, loan officers, and other agents. They make sure not a single detail is missed.
Why would you hire a single agent when you can have an entire team of experts?
Can you imagine how difficult it would be for a single agent to take care of all of those details while also being out in the field working with new clients? We’re convinced that our systems and fantastic people ensure a better experience for you.

Third, we have the budget to supply you with the most up-to-date technology, tools, and services. We sell more homes, so it makes it possible for us to invest in our infrastructure. This can make a huge difference in the success of your real estate venture whether you’re buying or selling. It also gives us the ability to heavily invest in our marketing. We actually outspend entire brokerages.

For sellers, it means you have professional photography, 3-D home tours, and drone footage. All of these tools and services cost us a small fortune, but they’re available to you for no more than the solo agent that provides only nominal services.

When you consider these factors, you can see that my team provides what others simply can’t. Why would you hire a single agent when you can have an entire team of experts?

If you have any questions or are looking to buy or sell a home, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We look forward to going to work for you.
