Going with the agent who promises you the highest sale price and the most amount of money (even if the price seems unrealistic)
Choosing the agent who promises to save you money by discounting the commission rate
Choosing the “nicest” agent
Choosing an agent who works all by themselves, because you think they’ll work a lot harder and give you more personal attention
The Most Frequent Result of These Mistakes Are…
The inflated list price you were quoted (in order to get your listing) results in few buyers coming to view your home (because they can get a comparable, properly priced house, for less money) and you end up having to endure a series of price reductionswhich result in your home finally selling for BELOW its true market value.
A lower commission does not guarantee you will net more on your home sale. According to Real Estate consultant Bernice Ross, there is a “Big Lie” in real estate. It’s the lie that reducing the commission always results in more money for the seller. Nothing could be further from
Your agent may be nice, but this doesn’t necessarily qualify them to do the best job of selling your home. Your agent’s personality will mean very little to you if you ultimately discover that they don’t have the marketing expertise to market your home properly so it sits on the market and either doesn’t sell, or sells for lower than market value. (The Realty Team members are all great to work with AND we have a proven system to get your home sold Fast and for Top Dollar).
Your agent ends up neglecting some important steps because s/he is so over-busy trying to do everything all by themselves (and you end up with an inferior result)
According to a recent survey by the MLS, 28% of all homes did not sell with the agent the sellers chose to list with the first time. Unfortunately many of these same sellers failed to sell their home again when they relisted with the same agent. This has led to lost income for these home sellers.
It will cost you nothing to discuss this sale with us, but not calling us, according to the survey referred to above, it could be hazardous to your bank account.

We live in Texas and needed help with selling a house in Florida. A realtor friend of ours found Phil Aitken Home - and we are glad she did! I made an initial call to the office and immediately Phil had a zoom meeting with me. He spent a long time to understand our needs and throughly explained what they could do for us. All along the way members of his Home Team were ultra responsive and supremely helpful. We knew exactly what they were doing each step of the way. Phil told us it was an active market - but we had no idea the house would have 33 offers in 23 hours and be sold in 24 hrs. Kudos to all the Phil Aitken team.

Phil is responsive, knowledgable, and personable. He is hands on and made our purchase experience a joy. He is there before and after the sale. I highly reccomend Phil for all your real estate needs.

We’ve worked with Phil for the past two years in the sale of two homes, the rental of one and, most recently, the purchase of our current home. As an agent, Phil provides advice and insight. However his greatest skill is that of a listener. He pays close attention to what you say and steers his search/advice in a very deliberate way. I’d unreservedly recommend Phil and his team to anyone in the area.
chris macewan
Phil was data driven and direct. When we initially sat down with him, he had done all the research to present a solid picture of what we could expect.
He walked through our home and made solid suggestions, all of which helped us make the home more marketable. Phil helped me let go of emotional attachment, and approach selling my home as a business transaction.
Phil connected us with all the right people to make the process as smooth as it could be.
He's straight to the point, professional, and driven by the same goal, to sell our home.
At the first visit Phil gave us a timeline, and his expectation on our selling price, he was dead on with both predictions.

lmccormicks
Phil and his team are very helpful and do a great job coordinating and following up on all the tasks. They assisted both with the purchase of a home and the listing and sell of my previous home. I was also impressed with their use of technology.

I was very impressed doing real estate business with Phil Aitken! He sold my house quickly in Jacksonville, FL. He also helped negotiate minimal rental vacancy and a quick close so the house buyers could move in quickly.
Thanks for all your real estate help and negotiations Phil!
jrweiss904
I was very impressed with Phil Aitken's professionalism, knowledge, and courteous manner. I was provided with all information concerning the sale as soon as they received it. The Team was very responsive and there was never a delay in returning my phone calls. I definitely will recommend them highly to use as "The Real Estate Company" They have made the sale of my house stressless and even enjoyable. Thank you Phil Aitken and Team

Phil is masterful at the art of selling homes. He uses his excellent knowledge and the skills of his staff to pull it all together. Professional pictures, getting the listing on a ton of online sites for max exposure and a ton more. He will help you get your house ready for the market, so you appeal to the most buyers. We had 40 people come to our one and only open house. Multiple offers came in and the house was sold. I chose Phil because he has integrity and is honest with me. His team was easy to reach and were checking on us through this whole process. I would use Phil and his great team again without hesitation!

The team at Phil Aitken was amazing from start to finish! They wrote an amazing blurb about my home and truly cared about making my experience as stress free as possible. They were quick to respond to all of my questions and helped guide me throughout the process. I will 100% work with them again when the time comes.

All of Phil Aitken's home team were very professional. They laid out a plan and followed through on each part. Each team member was very courteous and very knowledgable in every aspect of selling our home.
Phil also was very helpful aligning us with the right people on other aspects of selling our home and those people were just as professional!
We could not be more pleased with the excellent service and very quick sale of our home. This team has a great plan whether you are selling or buying. I highly recommend this team for any of your real estate needs!!
Dale Browning
We received a higher price for our home thanks to Phil's recommendation. We loved the experience and will use Phil to measure our interactions with realtors in the future!
brucebradley7
The most thorough and friendly real estate agent firm that we have used. Phil and his team went above our expectations with things such as using an app and email and text to notify us of each are along the process. He provided two agents at our open house and had a professionally bound book with details about our house, the area, estimated utility costs, homeowners insurance quite, etc. He has. A solid relationship with a bank who was able to help our sellers close on the deal dyer their previous lender made some errors in the lending process. We mainly dealt with Phil, Nadia, and Susan and couldnt be happier. We recommended him to two of our friends and they are also thrilled with him and his staff. Highly highly recommend!!!!!
Tasha Herner
I can say without any reservations that the Aitken team was nothing short of perfection. Matt was extremely patient and professional throughout the entire process. I would recommend Matt and his team to anyone who is looking to buy their next home. We have not just found our next house, we have found our home. Thanks to Matt and his team!
nbrennock
Y’all are the best! I’m a forever customer! Thank you so much for being YOU!?? Helped me find my Peace Place and I am so thankful for your great service! You all truly have a special team of people that rocks NE Florida! Y’all are rock stars in my book!
sweetyk17
Phil did a great job giving insight into what buyers want in a home and his recommendations about getting the house ready was spot on. His knowledge of how to market the house online got us tons of views and ended up getting our house sold after only 24 days on the market.
kithentz
I have used many realtors through the years and Matt has sold several properties for me. I have found him and his team to be Johnny on the spot and able to get me more deals done faster and for more money. I recommend them to everybody I know.
jimhawk844
Matt was very helpful and super professional. His knowledge of the Jacksonville area and school systems let us know we found the right realtor for us.
samlizotte87
Working with Phil during our home buying experience has been nothing but stellar. We learned a lot from him through the process of buying our first home. I would recommend him for his extensive knowledge of the area and his willingness to go the extra mile to make the home buying experience as smooth as possible.
ovcpete
Philip was very easy to work with in the purchase of our new home. While my husband and I made adjustments to what we wanted along the way; Philip seamlessly made those adjustments along with us. He was very prompt at returning our calls and inquiries, very informative, and most of all we felt like he cared about us as his clients. I would highly recommend Philip to those of you looking for an agent.
Dina Vineberg
Phil and his team sold our house in 1 day. They followed up with great professionalism and kept us informed of all the progress right up to closing and beyond. Office Manager, Susan, made sure all paperwork was done in a timely manner right up to making sure the wire transfer of funds for the sale of our house was accomplished.
My wife and I are very happy that we chose Phil Aitken and his team to help us get our house ready for showing and sale. We highly recommend Phil Aitken to anyone needing to buy or sale a house.
user8589864
My experience with Phil is comfortable but professional. He does what he says he will do and when he says he'll do it! It's such a refreshing in this day and time as many people have forgotten how to follow up. In real estate, follow-up with details is vital and I'm happy to refer people to Phil as I know he will treat the client with respect and make me look good!
Karen2328
The Aitken team is amazing. Not only did we sell our home, we bought a new one. We had a plan and place and it worked. Phil and his are very knowledgeable and their teamwork really shines.
RandilynMcCullion
This is the first time I have worked with this agent (not the first purchase/sale of a house). His knowledge of the area was excellent. His marketing was well above what I expected. He had an open house, generated a lot of interest in the property, used a professional photographer, and gave honest feedback on the property prior to listing. The communication and follow through with his staff was top notch, and he made this process quick, easy, and painless. I would highly recommend him and would not hesitate to use him and his team again.
lynseycassidy
We were so fortunate to have worked with Phil and his entire team during the recent purchase of our home. My husband and I are new to this area of Florida and Phil, Stephanie and Nadia were there for us every step of the way. We truly feel we found the right house at the right price and are so appreciative of the knowledge and professionalism shown by the entire team that guided us throughout the entire buying process. We will highly recommend Phil Aitken and his A-team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
beesjake2112
Phil and his team really went above and beyond for us. We had such a narrow range of criteria and his folks had to work extra hard to help us land the perfect place. WE so much appreciate their patience. The even helped rescue the offer when it looked like it might cave in with some masterful negotiations. Closing was an easy process. All steps were well managed and professional. I recommend Aitken and the team.
Jesse Scott
An extremely professional agent. He gave us 100% of his time to make this experience terrific. He worked late, during his personal time at home and answered email, text, or phone calls less than 30 minutes consistantly. I would recommend Phil to everyone.
gerard spendley
Excellent! Phil provided attentive service and genuine expertise. He went above and beyond our expectations when answering questions. We are very pleased. We are very happy new home owners. Thank you.
