Walt was amazing! Their marketing is so high-end I wrongfully assumed they only dealt in high-end houses, and I had a lower-end older house on a busy street on which marketed houses tend to stall forever. I thought I would get low-balled (especially after speaking with a “cash for your house” rep) and only after a protracted period. Walt immediately put me at ease any time I spoke with him. He was incredibly responsive on everything and he had the perfect suggestions to make my house more marketable. He was great about discussing the reasonable fixtures updates I should consider, but he also discouraged me from some more expensive others, and as he is an experienced professional he was correct on both sides. His marketing was amazing for any priced house, but especially on my lower-priced one. I couldn’t believe how much I was getting for how little $ he was going to get. We listed on a Thursday and we accepted a Saturday offer on that Sunday in a bidding war above asking price. No we did not list it too low as a higher listing would have been well above Zillow as well as above Walt’s extremely thorough comparative analysis which looked like it came from NASA, and would have priced us out of much interest and precluded the high and competing interests. I received more than I hoped, and more importantly, Walt kept me positive, optimistic, and comfortable during a typically stressful life event. Oh, and the fees were actually less than I expected, especially for the amount and quality of marketing I received. Thanks Walt!
