** Our Core Values: http://www.nellisgroup.com/Core-Values
 
Question 2: How many homes do you sell each year?
 looking in small markets you may need to scale that down. At a
minimum, your Agent should exceed the average number indicated by NAR.
** We sell 125 homes a year. The average agent does 6-10 a year. Number of homes sold this year for last 2 months:
   April: 10    May: 11   June: 12 (will settle this month)   
 
Question 3:  What systems/partners do you have to help with the process?

Question 4: Who will be working with me throughout the process?
** You will only need one number as I will be your direct contact throughout the process. Because of our professional approach multiple people will be involved to make it a smooth process but you will have my direct cell number. 
 
Question 5: How do you determine value/pricing for the home?
** We have a licensed appraiser that helps establish the current market price. Then you and I discuss marketing strategies and where to be on the market. 
 
Question 6: How does absorption rate affect the sale of the home?
** The definition of absorption rate: the amount of months it would take to sell all the homes for sale in the local market at the current rate they are selling.  We review this at a micro level for each property we list for sale prior to going on the market. Absorption rate will impact the time it takes to sell your home. 
 
Question 7: Commission. How much do you charge to sell my home?
** We charge 3% to represent you as a seller. We recommend you pay out to another agent 2.5%-3% depending on the inventory and competition. 
 
Question 8: How do you leverage technology and the web to sell my home?
** This is one of our major distinguishing points from other Realtors... We implement blogging, video, social fusion, community, custom pages and multiple websites to place your home in front of every possible buyer. 
 
Question 9: What are 3 things that distinguish you from other Realtors
in the local market?
**  1. Our unique team which includes: Interior Designer, Licensed Appraiser, Listings Coordinator & Contracts Coordinator. 
     2. Our systems & tools we provide every Seller. 
     3. Digital Media Specialist (Graphic Design & Custom Pages for every Seller)
 
 
Question 10: What else should I ask you about prior to selecting the
Agent we will choose?
Why are you the longest standing ELP in the area for Dave Ramsey? 
We were recruited by Dave & his team in 2002. It has been our honor to provide services for his buyers and sellers for the last decade. I believe a large part of it is a result of our core values being aligned with his core values. 
   Here is a recent review from another Ramsey Seller: www.nellisgroup.com/ramsey-fans 
 
    Thank you again for the opportunity to work with you... ReRe
