Of three agents we interviewed, we chose Chris for a few reasons. I liked that he focuses only on selling versus others who represent both sellers and buyers (we were not looking for a replacement property to buy). Chris was the only one who recommended we place our home on the market sooner than later. This was good advice as we continue to see home prices on the decline. I also had a good feeling that he and his team would provide good support. We were looking for someone who would be responsive with quick responses to our questions and concerns. Pros during the process: Chris was extremely responsive via texting, even on weekends and at night. Considering the quickly changing market softness, minimal interests from prospective buyers, and our desire to sell fast, Chris proactively advised to reduce the sales price. Could we have sold for a higher price? Maybe. But in the end, we sold after 16 days on the market. We were very relieved! Cons: after the first face to face interview, we never saw Chris face to face again. I would have preferred more personal interface during the very stressful process. When we called the office to speak to Chris, most times than not there was a buffer person screening calls asking redundant questions. While this may have been an efficient process for Chris, it was a waste of our time. The escrow company used was located in Corona. We would have preferred to deal with a local escrow company, where we could have met face to face to review and sign documents and to pick up our check. We were not asked or given an option on the escrow company used.
