LIST WITH US

---

Christopher Michael Real Estate holds dozens of contracts with companies who are relocating their employees to NYC and Albany which happens EVERY DAY! These  buyers are directly sent to us and are ALWAYS on an expediated timeline,  ALWAYS have a pre-approval in hand and are ready to make a decision.

A lot of larger and corporate brokerages may have a relocation division but unless the agent/broker you are directly working with is part of the relocation division, this is no benefit to you. Most agents on relocation do not represent sellers, they are working with buyers only.

If a relocation agent sends a client to your agent and your property, that is just another person who needs to get paid, costing you higher broker commissions that can't be negotiated and less marketing offered that the agent is willing to put in. Deals get complicated and expensive the more people involved!  

Direct  mailbox marketing + 10 years of NYC book of business, where half of new and long-term clients are actively looking.

We spare no expense! 

-Personalized letters with gift cards  mailed to prospective buyers .

-Paid platforms and expensive apps to capture the largest audience.

 -Open houses with curated touches and memorable elements to rise your home above the rest.

 You and your home receive the VIP treatment.

Most other agents/broker list your home on Zillow and StreetEasy which then send that listing to a handful of other websites, all for free. You can do this without an agent! Working with Christopher Michael Real Estate will get you more, much more, way beyond clicking a button to send your home to free websites. 

WE ARE YOUR RECIPE TO SUCCESS!

 Don't get lost in the shuffle of a big brokerage where you are just a listing number, pay higher fees and receive subpar marketing and networking  because there are usually 3 people within the brokerage getting paid off the sale of your house even though only one agent, usually the pawned off  junior agent which is code for new agent is doing all the ground work. 

  Most large and/or corporate brokerages have a team structure. 

If you see the word team in your agent/broker email signature or website...run!  

  A team is generally comprised of a senior agent who sits behind a desk or is constantly on vacation (often not even a broker, just an agent), that senior agent has a group of junior agents (aka new agents) to list properties, conduct open houses and private showings. The senior agent doesn't want to run around or work for that matter, that is why this structure exists.  

 Once there is a client interested, the junior agent reports to his/her senior agent. At this point you would think the senior agent would take over to negotiate and ensure due diligence is done. More often than not, this is not the case. The junior agent stays involved who may have the best intentions but certainty doesn't know enough to optimize your transaction.  

 Once an accepted offer is on the senior agent desk, the senior agent then steps in, takes the credit, most the commission, pays the junior agent a small commission plus up to half the commission to the house (the head broker).  That is 3 people in 1 brokerage getting paid...insanity.
