Does a bigger real estate firm mean that your house will be shown more often?

Asked Sat May 3 2008, 12:38 by Lee Jones - 43085 - Home Selling - 24 answers

James R. Buffington answered:

Absolutely!
I invest $1000s of dollars a year to offer the most up to date technologies and ability to market to millions due to buying search words and partnering with major web sites such as Trulia, Realtor.com (i showcase all listings with video) coldwellbanker.com, openhouse.com and more! Fact: 80% of buyers begin their search online. Fact: I have more web presence than my competitors. Fact: I get your home in front of more people, which betters your chance of finding a buyer that will the price for your home. The cost of my services is a function of the list price. You don't pay if it does not sell, so why risk it with small exposure? - Tue Jul 8 2008, 08:43

Why is the City of Columbus growing when most cities it’s size are not?

Asked Wed May 16 2007, 21:15 by Maureen Fran… - Columbus - General Area - 5 answers

James R. Buffington answered:

Columbus offers all that modern citizens have been falling in love with: Downtown nightlife and cleanliness, historic neighborhoods, an awesome variety of very good school districts and private facilities, OSU sports events and university, new construction, NHL Hockey, semi-pro football and baseball, and major investments from major corporations (Limited, Nationwide, Wendy's, Chase to name a few) who's main office resides here, a booming service industry, diversity and city planning has been great for years. Yet, you can still own a great property for under $250,000 or condo for much less! Columbus is the best thing between New York & Chicago. Call me and I'll show you around town...what you can get for the money. James Buffington, Realtor Coldwell Banker King Thompson, Arlington 614-560-4378 cell - Tue Jul 8 2008, 08:32

Specialties

I have done very well getting buyers into homes with little out of pocket expenses.

I am honest with home sellers, which allows us to work as a team under researched local market conditions. Nobody has a magic wond in real estate. It is up to me to use my education and experience to navigate the industry to make well informed decissions about what is best for my client.

The more I educate my sellers, the more they will appreciate the experience, rather than feel lost in the shuffle of some agent with 50 listings or even all out cheeted.
