I predict that 2010 will be a big year for our business and personal life.  Our military will once again deploy to parts known and unknown, so the housing market might be a little slower but then we have those that are moving to the area and needing to find a place to either buy or rent.

I am getting our marketing in gear, in doing so, where would you like to see Team Agnew?  We plan on being more active with helping the sellers of our community.  It has been a hard year to sale in 2009 for some and we have revamped our strategy to network and produce action with our homes that are listed with us.

If you are planning on selling your home in 2010, please contact us and let us know when a good time would be to set up for an interview.  We love to be interviewed and share our philosophy and enthusiasm for helping those in need.

May the Lord bless you in this year, 2010!

Seller: Ms. Barnett

Buyers: Mrs. Nugent and Ms. Barnett!

Ms. Barnett,

Thank you for allowing us to list your home. We hope that you were satisfied with our service. This goes to show that when it comes to selling a home, when we talk about how to make it marketable, it comes down to the timing of the buyer who is meant for your home.  Thank you for allowing us to list it and sell it within 15 days!

Mrs. Nugent,

Thank you for calling on us to help you with the needs of finding a home. When one is in another country it can seem nerve racking and scary at the same time but we hope this experience was a pleasant one and we look forward to meeting you when you come to Ft. Campbell!

Ms. Barnett,

Thank you again for using our services and allowing us to represent you in the purchase of your home. Sometimes in life we find that we need more room in our daily living and we know that your home will be just what you need for your growing family.

Many blessings to our clients with days full of happiness in your new homes!

March of Dimes, Best of Clarksville Nominee for Real Estate Agent ~ Vote ~ Thea Agnew, October 8th at the Saturn Dealership in Clarksville off of Wilma Rudolph Blvd. between 11 a.m. – 7:30 p.m.  Stop by my booth! Looking forward to meeting you all.

3896 Gaine Drive in Oakland Hills Subdivision.  This subdivision is located inside Tylertown Subdivision off of Tylertown Rd.

This home is beautiful with hardwood flooring, tile and carpet.  If the future buyers of this home do not like the carpet, which looks great (my opinion), then the Sellers are offering a $2000 carpet allowance to let you pick out the carpet you would like to have! This home is 1850 sq ft and is located on a corner lot. 3 bedroom, 2 bath and a bonus above the 2 car garage. Landscaping is beautiful and the lot is level and a nice size.

You can view the virtual tour on the website for this home. We have uploaded many photos.

If you would like to view this home and do not have a Realtor you are working with, please give us a call at 931-206-2156 or 931-249-2165.  You can also email or text us.

Buyers:

What are we?

We are Representatives, according to the law.  The legal and fiduciary nature of Realtor/Client relationship is too often forgotten.

The license permits someone to represent another party in the purchase or sale of real estate, to safeguard their interests, to treat them honestly, to serve them with professionalism.*

I have always felt that I was on the defense for my position to prove I am not a “sales person”.  I take my profession seriously and know that I am bound to the law of Tennessee and the Code of Ethics.  A car salesman/woman is completely different than a Realtor. I give them as the example because we are often compared to them.  Yes, I ”sell” homes but I am representing those owners in the sale of their home. In doing so I am also offering my services, which include marketing.  The houses that I sell to the buyer aren’t always the houses I have listed.  In the event they are, I default to facilitator status.

 Facilitator status may advise either or both parties in a transaction but cannot be considered a representative or advocate to either party.*

 Each home is represented by an Office.  You will know what office by the sign in the yard.  From that office there is usually a designated agent that has listed the home. That agent is representing the owner of the home.  They aren’t representing you.  If you think calling the agent that has it listed will get you a better deal, remember that they aren’t looking out for your best interest but their client, the seller. That is why it is important to have your own agent representing you in the transaction. In Team Agnew’s case, we do not charge our buyers a fee to work with us. In the end we are paid for representing the buyer by our company. 

Here is the break down:

 Our company is paid by the listing agents company, who is paid by the seller for representing them.  In the agreement between the seller and the company, that lists their home, they agree to pay a commission, what is negotiated, and out of that commission the listing company will pay the selling company. The selling company pays the buyers agent the reduced amount, which is their commission split.  The buyers agent can only receive payment through their company, not directly from the seller or listing company.

The first step in purchasing a home isn’t finding the home or being qualified but finding the agent that will represent you. 

For a lot of people, they might be a little skittish with leaving the future of where they will be laying their head at night, in the hands of someone they don’t know.  “Are they providing all the homes or the ones they want me to see?” You might ask yourself.  I now I did when we bought our first house.  A Realtors legal duty is to provide everything you ask for.  If they don’t and they only provide homes they have listed, that is unethical. If you want to know that as of today, July 15, 2009, there are 1909 homes for sale in Montgomery County and out of those homes, the price ranges are from $18,000 to $1,400,000. BUT not ALL 1909 homes will fit your criteria.  Do you want a new home with 1800 square feet or more and under $150,000? Then out of that 1909 there is only 1 listed!  Do you want it to be in a certain school zone? Let’s say Rossview High School? Then there are none.  You would do hours and hours of searching to find that information out, where it only took me less than 1 minute! 

 Once you find the home you want, then the Agent represents you in negotiating your wishes. Once you have a contract, your agent takes care of timelines and makes sure that the contract stays valid and most importantly you close on your home. 

 If you would like to interview Team Agnew to represent you in the purchase of your future home or the selling of your home, please give us a call at 931.206.2156 and mention this article or you can email us. We would be happy to schedule a time to meet with you and discuss how we can make your experience a pleasant one.

We listed this home in Centerstone and knew that the right buyer would come along and appreciate all it has to offer.  Mr. & Mrs. Wood came to us via Active Rain and my Blog.  They interviewed a couple of our buyers, after asking for three clients and phone numbers.  They were impressed with what they heard and we helped them when it came to getting a hotel to stay in while they waited for this home to be vacated for early occupancy. They also made the comment that they have learned so much from our blog! We try very hard to give as much information as we can get out, in the time that we have between clients, to all of you who are searching or maybe already have their Agent but still needing to find more information.

If you are in need of finding the right home and would like to interview our clients to see if we would be a good fit for your needs, please email, call or text us @ (931) 206-2156. 

Once again, congratulations to our clients on the perfect home for them and the sale of their home!

“This is what you need to ask in an interview to find the right agent.”

Well, here with Team Agnew we decided to take those questions you find everywhere and just do the interview for you, so you don’t have to worry about contacting us to find out what we are about.

It is important to know what your looking  for in finding and using an Agent. The reason why is because the relationship between the buyer and Agent is somewhat like a marriage. You must have trust, mutual goals (to get the house that best suits your needs) and understanding. This requires communication, lots of it.  So we are going to go over 3 topics and try to make it short for your reading span:

1) What to look for in an Agent

2) Questions to ask a prospective Agent

3) Where to find an Agent

Since the commission for the sale of the home is almost always paid by the seller, buyers are able to get assistance and information from a Real Estate Agent, usually at no cost to them.  So, let’s get started with our interview…

What to look for in an Agent:

• An understanding of your needs
• A willingness to work with you until your needs are fulfilled
• A sense of professionalism
• A familiarity with the area in which you would like to live
• Someone who is dedicated to their profession
• A familiarity with the sales price range you would like to be in
• Strong references from previous buyers
• Someone that communicates with you and your at ease with them
• Someone that actually calls or emails you with personalized verbiage not computer generated letters

Questions to ask a prospective Agent:

• How long have you been in Real Estate?  Team Agnew has combined years of 5 years in Clarksville, TN
• Are you a full time Agent? Yes, I am.  Art is still active duty military, so right now he is part time.
• Are you familiar with the area in which we want to work? Yes, we have been in Clarksville for 10 years and I am an alumni of Northeast High School off Exit 1.
• What is the average sold price of homes you sold last year? $150,000. The average depends on what the buyers are buying in that market. I work with all prices.
• Do you normally work with Sellers or Buyers? Our Team works them evenly.  Right now I am working with both very effectively and actively. When you don’t have a large inventory with Sellers, it is more time you spend on the ones you do have and getting them sold quickly. Art brought his buyer to one of my listings and sold it in 10 days.  Currently, out of our listings, we have another that is possibly getting an offer after 8 days on the market. With Buyers, we are actively, with a personal touch, working with them to make sure they get the best in everything they need to choose the home they want.
• How many buyers and sellers are you currently working with? Great questions! We are working with over 9 Sellers and 11 Buyers all within the last 3 weeks! This is our passion, to help bring buyers and sellers together and make a smooth and easy transition to the transaction!
• Where do you feel your strengths lie? For me, I would have to say my strength with the Seller is in marketing your home.  I love marketing, the paperwork, being organized and finding better ways of sticking out of the crowd, networking and competing to get the house sold the fastest! I don’t want to have the same plan another Agent might have.  I am always searching to reinvent my product, making it more noticable and sellable!  With Buyers, my strength would be communication, making you feel comfortable and to keep any stress level down. Your trust is in me and I don’t like to disappoint anyone! As you read my testimonials, you will see that I care about my clients and their happiness and it shows in my work ethics and morals.
• What 3 buyers that you have worked with can you give me as references? With their permission, contact me and I will send you their information.

Where to find an Agent?

• Be aware: If you think that by contacting a FSBO, the selling agent or even seller, that you will get a better deal, you are doing yourself a disservice.  The reason why I say this is because you have no one to represent your best interests, what to ask for, what to look for, and most importantly to be by your side if you have to go to court due to something wrong with the house that wasn’t disclosed, among other things. Oh, and don’t forget: the Sellers have someone representing them, who is representing you?
• There are many networking sites that Agents can be found on: Zolve, ActiveRain, among many more…
• We also have our Team Agnew which consists of 5 members.  Anyone of these Agents are well qualified to keep your best interests at heart.  Marissa Fulford, Christy McGill, Jenna Eaton, Art Agnew and me, Thea Agnew.
• You can also put in a search with google to be notified of what is going on in Clarksville with keywords and they will come straight to your email.  A lot of Agents that are active with the internet, since 88% of buyers find their home online, can be found by their activity through this search and you will know by reading what they have to say, whether or not you want to get in contact with them to interview.  It’s best if you go to igoogle, sign up with a gmail account, sign in, at the top right corner click on “my account”, then click on alerts. Type in the search anything to do with Clarksville, TN and you will get the email from google.  Great way to keep up with people you are interested in. It’s not stalking, I promise!

I hope this has helped you with getting ideas on how to find an Agent to work with.  If I can be of any assistant, me or my Team, please contact us and we will get back in touch within a few hours.

If you are wanting to search for homes now, please just click here.  If you are ready to narrow your criteria down and move forward from the normal search, contact me and we will find what you are looking for.

A letter from my clients as a Seller and a Buyer.
