Services
GVRE offers comprehensive real estate, mortgage, and title services to our diverse clients. With Quadrant Homes, Inc. as our sponsor in the newly finished Golden Valley Retirement Community, we will have a premier position as the dominant seller of these new homes, condos, and retirement apartments.
In addition we will offer a full range of services to facilitate the purchasing and selling of real estate including the following:
- Home search database.
- Moving consulting, quotes, planning, etc.
- Mortgage consulting and loan pre-approval.
- Community information.
- Title transfer.
- Obtaining a comparative market analysis for potential sellers.
- Appraising.
- Property preparation.
Much of the company’s services will be outsourced. This includes title transfer, loan approval, appraising and market analysis services. Title transfer will be handled by TNT Legal Services, loan approval by GMC Credit Co. and appraising and market analysis by Templar Real Estate Services.
Each of these companies encourage independent agents to use their services and all have a proven track record in terms of affordability and service. These companies have also been selected because they charge a flat monthly rate. Management includes this rate in the profit and loss statement under other expenses.
Our first priority is to help the seller set a realistic price on their property. But like most of us who have invested untold hours of time and energy into our property it may be difficult to remain objective when it’s time to price it and put it up for resale.
There’s a good reason for this. Usually property owners have much more than dollars and cents tied up in a home – an individual commitment that makes it a highly valued personal statement.
But value becomes a reflection of the buyer’s perspective as well when that property is put up for sale…and pride of ownership may not translate to market value. When house hunting, the buyer will shop the market, compare available homes, and try to find the very best value.
Consequently, when the seller is ready to list their home, they need to step back and sharpen their focus. Look at the home objectively and price it competitively. This is where a real estate broker such as Golden Valley Real Estate can help.
Listing property at 5% above current market value gives it a sales advantage that is ten times greater than if priced at 15-20% above. That’s a statistic that can’t be overlooked.
An overpriced home will suffer from lack of exposure, and the longer it remains on the market the more difficult it will be to sell. And it will remain so, even after price reductions are taken to attract buyers.
That is why it is very important to determine an accurate and objective market value for your property. We’ll work with the buyers and sellers closely to achieve that, and to maximise their opportunities to sell their home at the best possible price within acceptable time frames.
