We helped Alex and Tom several years ago purchase this home. They did a lot of work to the house and decided that it was time to get something a little bigger so they called us up to help them. We were able to come up with a plan to get the house ready for sale and sold quickly. We pre-marketed the house and had over 50 people see it on the first day on the market.

We were able to get multiple offers to present to the sellers and put this one under contract just before the Stay at Home order was announced. Through social distancing and electronic means, we got it to the closing table and officially got it closed.

Just because the market has been impacted with the current COVID-19 doesn’t mean that their aren’t good deals to be had. If you are looking for a new home and want to have a Pro help you then, Contact us today

6 things that make you a Pro

After Watching the New England Patriots win yet another championship in Superbowl LIII, I got to thinking about what makes a Pro – a Pro. Since I am one of the the Pros at The Pro’s Real Estate Team, I figured it might be a great topic to add to our growing website. Here is my bullet pointed list of 6 things that make you a Pro and come out on top no matter what industry you play at.

6 things that make you a Pro

Responsibility:

Own your mistakes and celebrate your wins. Either way you need to be responsible for your actions and your outcomes! Those who succeed at a high level look for their role in all problems and solutions. If you are blaming and pointing fingers you may be running in victim mode and victims are not PROS.

Accountability:

You must do what it takes to succeed, and you must hold yourself to the standards you set. If you are struggling to do it alone then find a tribe, hire a coach, or surround yourself with other high-minded team members. Integrity plays a large part in Accountability. If you say your going to do something, do it for goodness sake.

Curiosity:

Stay in the student zone. Some call it : beginners’ luck. Do not ever assume you know everything- you don’t! Stay in curiosity in all things. Seek first to understand. Beginners don’t have luck because they have a severed rabbit foot in their pocket, they have luck because they don’t know what they don’t know and do exactly what others tell them to do out of ignorance. Once the beginner starts to feel like they may know better the “luck” they once had seems to have evaporated. Always be Learning!

How to buy a home – Step 2

In Step 1 of How to buy a home, we explained the importance of hiring a real estate professional.

The next step in the home buying process is Analyzing your real estate needs in a full consultation.

Step 2. Analyzing your needs

Analyze your needs in a full consultation

Once you have found your trusty agent, this person will walk you through a consultation. Your agent should go deep. Your agent will ask questions such as:

Single family home, condo, multi-family or townhouse
How many bedrooms
How many bathrooms
Open floor plan or individual rooms
Do you prefer single level living or are you ok with multi levels
Do you need a garage
What kind of yard
Do you prefer the city or the county
Do you need a basement
How much storage do you need
And many more questions to really get an idea of what is ideal

As you go through this list with your agent, understand that there is no such thing as a “Perfect House”. If you are shopping for a $200,000 house your perfect home will be $250,000. If you are shopping for a $900,000 your perfect home will be $1,000,000. It’s always just out of reach. Don’t let this discourage you. Your agent will compare your needs with your wants versus the luxury add-ons. They will also explain the current market. During a buyers market you may be able to search homes that a 5-10% above you maximum value in hopes of negotiating the value down. But in a Sellers market you may want to view home slightly under your maximum in case you need to bid up in multiple offers.

Once your agent gets an idea of you ideal home, they will set you up on a search via the MLS. Top producing agents go beyond this, especially in a scarce sellers market. The Pro’s Real Estate Team will find neighborhoods you would prefer to reside in and call or door knock the entire neighborhood in search of a potential seller that might be willing to sell you their home. Don’t just sit around watching the MLS. For Sale By Owners, Next on market sellers, auctions, foreclosures, and other agents non-mls listings are important to have access to. Make sure your agent knows where to find these.

Make sure your agent is direct with you. There is no need to show you a home the agent knows does not fit your criteria. Don’t get upset with your agent if they tell you NO to a showing you have requested but do ask why and let them explain. For Example; if a buyer wants to see a home that is $15,000 over their pre-approval amount and the home seems to be priced accordingly and has only been on the market for a few days, this home will sell outside of what you may be able to afford. If you view a home like this it will most likely be the best home you have viewed. This now creates a comparison you can not beat in the lower price ranges thus creates buyer disappointment. Your agent should be open and direct enough to keep you on track through out the whole process. They use skill, educations and knowledge to help you buy a house, rather than emotions. Trust your agent!

In Step 3 we will discuss Getting your finances in order

What is the difference between a Real Estate Agent and a REALTOR ®

We have heard many times from our clients, especially ones that are just starting the process to buy or sell, that they don’t understand the difference between a Real Estate Agent and a REALTOR ®. More often than not, people refer to each of them hand in hand because they just don’t know. All REALTORS® are real estate agents but not all real estate agents are REALTORS®. There are actually some big differences between the two of them and they are important to know especially if you are going to rely on their guidance and expertise in the real estate market.

Each state government regulates their real estate professions. Massachusetts requires that you take a 40 hour live class in order to receive your certificate booklet which is your proof of completing the training. Once you complete the class, you schedule your appointment to take the real estate licensing test. Once you pass the test, then you can get your license. Your license will need to be renewed every 2 years. To find out more information on the classes, exams, and costs, visit Bay State Academy.

Real Estate Agent vs REALTOR®

Real estate agent: A person who completes the required classes, passes the exam and is granted a real estate license can be called a real estate agent.
REALTOR®: A real estate agent who becomes a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, meaning that they ascribe to and uphold the Code of Ethics and Professional Standards of the NAR (National Association of REALTORS®.

You don’t automatically become a member of The National Association of REALTORS®. There are additional classes to take and annual dues to pay. According the NAR website:

“The NAR is composed of residential and commercial REALTORS®, who are brokers, salespeople, property managers, appraisers, counselors and others engaged in all aspects of the real estate industry.” Members sit on boards and committees together to share information about their respective expertise in the real estate industry. “Members belong to one or more of some 1,700 local associations/boards and 54 state and territory associations of REALTORS®.”
The NAR constantly offers professional development to its members. The association offers institutes and councils in all facets of real estate, everything from changes in lending practices to appraisal to international real estate.

The Code of Ethics

A REALTOR ® must also prescribe to a legally enforceable code of ethics. The general buyer or seller is not aware of what this code of ethics is about. According to NAR and The Code of Ethics, here is what your REALTOR® pledges to do:

Pledge to put the interests of buyers and sellers ahead of their own and to treat all parties honestly.
Shall refrain from exaggerating, misrepresenting or concealing material facts; and is obligated to investigate and disclose when situations reasonably warrant.
Shall cooperate with other brokers / agents when it is in the best interests of the client to do so.
Have a duty to disclose if they represent family members who own or are about to buy real estate, or if they themselves are a principal in a real estate transaction, that they are licensed to sell real estate.
Shall not provide professional services in a transaction where the agent has a present or contemplated interest without disclosing that interest.
Shall not collect any commissions without the seller’s knowledge nor accept fees from a third-party without the seller’s express consent.
Shall refuse fees from more than one party without all parties’ informed consent.
Shall not co-mingle client funds with their own.
Shall attempt to ensure that all written documents are easy to understand and will give everybody a copy of what they sign.
Shall not discriminate in any fashion for any reason on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
Expects agents to be competent, to conform to standards of practice and to refuse to provide services for which they are unqualified.
Must engage in truth in advertising.
Shall not practice law unless they are a lawyer.
Shall cooperate if charges are brought against them and present all evidence requested.
Agree not to bad mouth competition and agree not to file unfounded ethics complaints.
Shall not solicit another REALTOR’S client nor interfere in a contractual relationship.
Shall submit to arbitration to settle matters and not seek legal remedies in the judicial system.

Though you have an option of who you work with for a real estate professional, it is always a good idea to work with a member of the National Association of REALTORS®. These agents are committed to being the most professional and courteous. These agents have great experience and are constantly improving their knowledge through training and certifications. Make sure before you agree to work with someone, that they have your best interests in mind and will represent you in the most favorable way.

Each member of our team is a REALTOR® and we pride ourselves in our ability to work with buyers, sellers and investors and have the education and training to exceed their expectations

WE LOVE REFERRALS

There is no greater compliment than getting a referral from our clients, friends, families, affiliates and other agents. Last year 85% of business was attributed to referrals. We focus on helping families, individuals, and businesses meet their goals.

We don’t stop there!

We love to refer businesses we work with too. Of course your business has to have some of the qualities we strive for in our own business including: Integrity, open and direct communication, high level of customer service, honesty, trustworthiness and quality services and products.

We believe that if you do the right thing (even when no one is looking), focus on people, have a great work ethic, and always do your best, you don’t need to worry about your staring down the mighty dollar. Good service and quality come from a passion for what you do- not a passion for making money. It always shows!

The next time you hear someone say- “I’m thinking about selling my house” or “I wonder if I can buy a home”, “I always wanted to invest in real estate but I don’t know where to start”, “ I’m frustrated with my current agent, I can never reach them on the phone”, “I’m in trouble I need to sell but I owe more on my house than it will sell for”, “I need more info on the value of my house” or anything real estate for that matter… You tell them to JUST CALL THE PROS… Make sure to let us know so we know so we can thank you, hug you and show you are gratitude!!! We love referrals!

Comment below with your business info to start receiving more referrals for your own business! We will be in touch to talk to you about your business and how we can help. I would love to interview you and write an article about how you help people in your business!

Thanks for sharing!

About The Pro’s Real Estate Team

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Kelly Provost and I own The Pro’s Real Estate Team along with my husband Joe. We have two office locations in Worcester, MA and Rutland, MA and service all of Worcester County and Central MA.

We pride ourselves on working with all residential properties with no discrimination on price or condition. We work with $50,000 foreclosures and short sales and will service all the way up to multi-million dollar luxury properties.

Joe and I have lived in Worcester County our entire lives. We know the city and its surrounding towns like the back of our hand. We do provide generalized real estate services to the entire 1,579 square miles of Worcester County & we are proud of it! We specialize in our area of expertise, rather than a geographic area. On our team we each have a role that consists of specific duties, rather than attempting to handle all transactions from A to Z.

I work with our clientele. I spend time to guide and educate each of our clients on the process of a home sale or purchase. I do this before we begin, and throughout the entire transaction. My role is to find home owners who have a home to sell and to find a buyer who need a home to purchase. Then, I bring the two together. I love creating lasting relationships with my clients.

Joe works on the behind the scenes operations of the business. His focus is on crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s. He handles the details. Once a contract is signed he takes over in the transactions process and coordinates every detail. These details include a massive marketing plan encompassing a 151 step process, from getting a sign in the front yard and creating eye catching, engaging property websites to collecting all the necessary data needed by the attorneys, appraisers and other agents to close the deal. His ability to market our listed home is second to none! He has years of experience from his days managing multiple sales and marketing departments in one of the largest car dealerships in the state.

We have some fabulous buyer specialists. Their sole job is to find our buyers the right property that fits their needs. They starts every relationship with a full and intensive buyer consultation. This will educate every buyer, from our first time home buyers to our experienced investors, about the buying process, changes in the current real estate market, and tips to be aware of as we enter the ever changing world of home buying. They are personable and friendly and take on consultative approaches so you never feel as if they are attempting to sell you something. Our buyer specialists are not sales people; they are consultants and advisors to helping you find the best house for your needs.

Don’t mistake our consultative approach for a lack of negotiating power. All members of our team have a strong ability to negotiate using knowledge and confidence. All offers, counter offers or marketing/sales strategies for our listings come from experience and day to day knowledge of the current market trends.

All members of The Pro’s Real Estate Team are full time Realtors®. This is all we do so you know you will always have the communication you are looking for. We understand that our clients work traditional hours. We do not limit our hours to the same work day, making it easy to reach someone when you are off work or on break or on a weekend. We respect your time and make sure we are always back with the same communication in which you reached out to us within hours, and usually much sooner!

If you are looking to hire professional full time real estate consultants who will be available to you, communicate in a timely and regular manner, understand that real estate sales are as emotional as they are financial, and be by your side through the entire process; we are here to help.

Just Call The Pros and you will not regret your hire.

Our network of agents far exceeds the Worcester county area. If you or someone you know if moving out of the area we can also direct you to a top agent that shares the same values and work ethic as our team here. Just Ask The Pros!
