Just facts, no "puffing" or exagerations...December 22nd- just 3 days before Christmas, and here's my free christmas present to all homeowners...Since 9/1/2007, only 3 houses have closed escrow in Eagle Ridge, which is not spectacular when you think there are currently 32 homes on the market. 2 are "Sale Pending"...Guess what (or who) sold 2 of the 3 homes? Small Brokerages, with less than 10 agents.That's who had the listing on those 2 of the 3. The franchises are not as prevalent in Eagle Ridge as they once were, perhaps because, in my opinion, smaller brokerages do a better job handling listings... Just an observation. Not all agents, just some of those that work for the large franchises. Why, you may ask? It is the nature of the larger brokerages to pound their agents to "get listings, get listings, get listings!" They need homes to fill the space of their newspaper ads so they look big and busy! Here's and interesting fact- 50% of all agents across this great land of ours work for a broker with fewer than 10 agents, yet they sell 60% of all the real estate. Think about that next time you choose a broker to sell youir home. All real estate is local.
