Meet Eric and Kelli

Eric and Kelli had been trying to sell their home for almost 2 months, and things weren't going the way they had envisioned. They were working with a local FSBO (For Sale By Owner) company, and despite the company's promises of assistance, they were stuck doing most of the work on their own. 

"We had no idea how horrible that was going to be." says Eric. "From disrupting showings that lead no where, to no feedback, to re-arranging our lives to meet with prospective buyers, to no one actually coming to see it."

"From our initial meeting with Dan he was overly prepared with plans, timelines, technology, and most of all knowledge."

Eric went on a McFarland Facebook Group for real estate and reached out to see if there were any agents out there willing to help them with their situation. They were selling Eric's childhood home that was built by his grandfather. They wanted to find an agent that was going to treat their home with the same level of respect and care that they had. 

The home had gorgeous hardwood floors, and a beautifully crafted stucco exterior done by Eric's grandfather. The arched doorways throughout the home added tons of character. It was the perfect home for a young family, and was only a couple houses down from the elementary and primary school. 

We knew that if we were able to get potential buyers to love it the same way Eric and Kelli did, we would be able to sell it for them in no time. 

Saying goodbye to a childhood home

Eric and Kelli decided to enlist our help, and they even trusted Dan's judgement about the price and decided to list their home for $6,400 more than their previous list price. After a visit with our professional stager and photographer, the home was ready to be re-listed. We made sure agents in the area knew when to expect it on the market so they could notify their buyers, and we marketing the home as "Coming Soon" online. Our buyer specialist Wade got to work looking for buyers as well.

When their home was listed FSBO, Eric and Kelli struggled with the lack of feedback they received from showings. We made sure to follow up with agents who didn't leave feedback so they could hear what buyers thought of the home. There was a lot of interest in their home and we had many people come through to see it in the short time it was on the market. 11 days after it hit the market, one of Wade's buyers absolutely fell in love with the home, and decided to write an offer. Eric and Kelli ended up selling their home for $4,600 more than it was listed for previously, and they saved 1% on commission because the buyer was represented by a Dan Chin Homes agent. 

Eric's advice to others

"We thought we could list as a FSBO - We had NO IDEA how horrible that was going to be. From disrupting showings that lead to nowhere, to no feedback, to re-arranging our lives to meet with prospective buyers, to no one actually coming to see it. Then an offer comes in, and it wasn't close to what we were asking. Just to get it over with we agreed to negotiations. A shady real estate agent shows up at our home with a cash offer, tricks us into believing we had a good deal, puts me and my family under the most stress we've ever felt, then tries to pull MORE "tricks". Finally we had enough, we canceled our FSBO and decided to get an agent.

We had heard about Dan and his team around town and got into contact with him. THANK GOODNESS for Dan and his team!!! BEST DECISION EVER!!!! Instead of looking back at the horrible memories of selling on our own, we look back at the AMAZING EXPERIENCE Dan and his team provided to us. I 100% believe that it was solely Dan and his incredibly hard working and talented support staff that sold our home! There is no way we could have felt comfortable, confident, informed, and happy without them. 

From our initial meeting with Dan he was overly prepared with plans, timelines, technology, and most of all knowledge.

From his attention to detail, knowledge, and ability to LITERALLY be available through every step of the process we are all impressed and incredibly grateful.

Again, I don't understand the world of real estate, and I need to have some things explained multiple times to understand... with an uncanny patience Dan could say the same thing over again until I actually understood what was happening. 

To everyone on his team THANK YOU! I know it takes a lot of people to make your system work so smoothly."
