Terry Willis

In today’s real estate market, you need to work with a real estate professional you can trust. Whether you are building, buying or selling your primary residence, a second home, or relocating to a new state, I can help make your homeownership dreams come true and would be honored to do so. I'd love to show you how my persistence and skills have earned me the nickname of "Termite" and the slogan of "Where there's a WILLis, there IS a way!" I stay busy enough to remain up to date on market trends, but not too busy to give you the individual attention you deserve.

When working as your buyer's agent there is never a fee to you. I promise to get you the best price and deal that is possible. I stay current on all of the home buyer's mortgage assistance programs and especially enjoy assisting first time home buyers and those who are building a home. If you are looking to move out of state, my extensive relocation division can put you in touch with an experienced and knowledgeable realtor in that area.

The care and concern I display in tranactions for my clients has prompted real estate agents on the other end of the deal to ask me if this house was for a relative or friend of mine. I promise you to treat the home you are buying or selling as if it was my own.

When working as a seller's agent I can promise you full service and full marketing. My commission rate is not the lowest or the highest in my area however I do earn it. In the long run I will save you money by cutting your selling time (and the amount of house payments and associated costs). I accomplish this through my extensive marketing and home staging efforts and setting the price right from the beginning. I will not tell you the price you want to hear if your house doesn't justify it just to get the listing - that doesn't do either one of us any good. Overpriced homes are very hard to sell in this market, no matter how much I spend to advertise them!

As a bonus, my sellers receive a free home staging consultation. My additional education as a Property Image Consultant has trained me in the ways of making your home more appealing to homebuyers; simply by rearranging items you already own or occasionally supplementing the buyers first impression with inexpensive accessories. "Staging" your home to sell will give you a competitive edge in todays market. Combining my staging techniques with extensive marketing efforts enables me to sell your home for 99.3% of the asking price, as compared to the average sale of 96.5% of the asking price. Marketing efforts include over 800 real estate web sites, real estate TV channels and magazines, postcards and newspaper ads. I also email flyers of your home to other agents who have home buying clients looking for properties in your area and provide color flyers in your front yard for clients who like to drive by. I also will hold frequent open houses if you don't mind.

Focusing on excellent customer service has inspired me to build an effective combination of superior technology and high ethical standards – all working to provide my clients with the most positive real estate transaction possible. My real estate experience reflects the importance of client satisfaction. You can see what my clients say about me under the "Buyer/Seller Center" tab on my web sitehttp:// www.TerryWillis.net. I look forward to serving your real estate needs!

Specializing in servicing St. Charles, St. Louis, Lincoln and Warren Counties of Missouri. If you are a first time home buyer, ask me for my free booklet ".....And They Lived Happily Ever After - A Guide To Buying Your First Home". It contains a step by step discription of the home buying process, which will become even easier with me on your team!
