What I Can Teach You About Resources
There’s a common belief that boutique real estate firms are only for the rich and famous or are too small to be competitive in the real estate market. Not one is factual. In reality, boutique real estate professionals offer a number of advantages that you will be pleased to know about.
Quality, Not Quantity
Boutique firms know that every client has unique needs. Instead of concerning themselves too much with how many homes they can buy or sell, these agents will focus more on providing good customer service. These professionals strive for your satisfaction more than those who work at bigger companies will.
Support Within the Office
Boutique firms are small groups of real estate professionals who are available for one another for help. Therefore, when you work with an agent who works for this type of firm, you can trust that you have an entire office contributing to the success of your transaction.
Top-Tier Agents
Boutique real estate companies are small by nature where only top-tier candidates are chosen to be part of the pool. This is why when you work with one of these firms, you can expect the best.
Competitive Nature
Boutique firms know that they need to prove themselves amidst all the misconceptions about their capabilities in comparison with the big firms. And if you care to do some research, you will find that they have more than established that fact.
No Red Tape
“Red tape” is a familiar scenario when you work with a bigger firm, and this means your broker will have limited room for innovation. A boutique firm, on the other hand, keeps communication efficient for everyone in the team, allowing your broker to customize his marketing strategy with the same efficiency. The fact that marketing is done in-house means putting your home in the market place can be done sooner than usual (with a bigger firm, you will usually have to wait for weeks).
Client-First Policy
Boutique real estate companies often have strong opinions when it comes the rights of all they deal with – their clients, other REALTORS, and their business. They are motivated not primarily by money, but by an interest in helping their community prosper by way of home ownership.
Direct Agent Transaction
Finally, boutique real estate firms will keep dealing with you through your broker from start to end, and will never turn you over to a closing coordinator. With larger companies, you will likely be assigned a closing coordinator so that the broker can instantly accept a new property for a new client. This often causes mix-ups and lost information and documents and all, but with a boutique real estate company, this will not happen. You can be sure that you get the representation all the way through.
