Without this level of professional service, the seller cannot expect to receive top dollar. Its well worth investing in the expertise of industry experts in todays unconventional real estate world, the partners agree. In real estate, just as in any other fi eld, sellers and buyers need the assistance of a specialist. We have the mindset, experience and ethics to provide a rewarding experience with a positive outcome of the sale of your home as well as a good return on your investment. Key amongst their skills is communication, which is 90 per cent of selling anything, he adds. The partners are available seven days a week. Its a commitment that they know the business requires. They are always ready to communicate with clients and other agents. Keeping clients informed is crucial to their professional service. What our customers have told us is that there is nothing more frustrating than being kept in the dark. Sellers tell us that when they pay thousands for any service, they expect minimum suspense and uncertainty, explains Pisapio. Good news and bad news is always communicated.Their customers receive updates and key facts that emerge from all showings. The pair believes its important to deal with issues promptly and honestly and to realign strategies when necessary. Kerr notes good communication between all parties including other agents is extremely important. With thousands of your dollars on the line and with timing being paramount, you dont want to fi nd out that the lack of communication on your agents part is why your deal did not come together and ended up costing you, advises the real estate sales representative with Re/ max Aboutowne in Oakville. According to Pisapio, for good communicators like himself and Kerr, eyth fi nd that the rest of their selling strategies including pricing, marketing and gotiating fall into place. When it comes to the critical stage of settingne he t price of a home, the newly formed team believes that clients should be told what they need to hear not what they want to hear. This is a point where honesty on their part and trust on the part of clients is absolutely necessary. Agents know that sellers want to hear the highest price but this teams clients will hear the true value of the home and the price attainable in Oakvilles market. This price refl ects the skills and experience of the agents and sets realistic true expectations. Its better for our clients to know all the facts up front than to fi nd out later, after a lot of frustration, lost time and money. Being familiar with the emotional aspects of a sale and purchase, knowing the local market and the community are other elements of the package delivered by the Pisapio-Kerr Team. It all comes down to the fact that a good real estate team is your best investment. G R A H A M K E R R 905.338.9000 67 L A K E S H O R E R OA D, W.
