About
Michael Rice...
One of the biggest fears buyers
and sellers have when they select a real estate agent is that they really don’t
know much about the agent and how they work unless someone else referred them.
Let me explain how I work so you
can determine if I’m the type of agent you would like to have help you buy or
sell your home.
How I Work
I believe that my role is to be
your real estate consultant, not your salesperson. I say that because I truly
enjoy educating people on how the real estate process works and I believe the
decision to buy or sell a home is yours, not mine.
Most agents spend the majority
of their time constantly searching for new clients either by knocking on doors
or telemarketing at night.
I work differently.
I am a member of a professional
business development group made up of realtors and lenders called By Referral Only®. As a member of this
organization, my main focus is to make the experience of buying and selling a
home so enjoyable for my clients that I will earn their heartfelt endorsements
and the referrals of their friends, family members and co-workers.
By Referral Only®
does not mean that I only work with those who were referred to me. It
simply means that my focus is on providing a first class experience for my
current clients rather than constantly searching for new clients.
As a result of running my
business this way, I’ve been able to implement some innovative systems for my
clients like my free HomeFinder Service for buyers
and my Maximum Exposure Marketing Plan for sellers.
Hopefully this way of helping
people makes sense to you. If you have any questions or if you would like to
schedule a free, no obligation consultation, please feel free to
contact me.
