5 BIG REASONS TO CALL THE PHIL AITKEN TEAM AT YOUR HOME SOLD GUARANTEED REALTY
1) YOUR HOME SOLD OR PHIL WILL BUY IT FOR CASH* 97.78% of our homes sell the first time they’re listed. So many local sellers are understandably nervous about getting stuck with two houses, so our goal is to remove that worry to give you peace of mind. Your home WILL sell. If not to another buyer, then it will to Phil!*
2) WE HAVE BUYERS IN WAITING We have more than 3,325 registered buyers in our database who are looking for a home in the area—and waiting to hear that your home is exactly what they’re looking for. There’s nothing better than getting ready to list and finding out you don’t have to—because a buyer for your home is already in our database. Why are you waiting to call? Your home may already be sold!
3) WITH US, YOU’RE MORE LIKELY TO SELL The Phil Aitken Home Team sells 24x more homes than the average agent. So why would you choose a less experienced team? No matter what your house looks like or how much you’re worried about your “unique” situation, chances are we’ve seen it before… And SOLD it before. Put our proven track record of results to work for you and your home is more likely to sell.
4) WE SELL FOR MORE MONEY* Compare the agents on our team at Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty to the “average” real estate agent in the area, and the math is indisputable—we sell our homes for 2.7%% more in sales price on average. This means real dollars in your pocket that you can use to buy or furnish your new home. On a $400,000 home, 2.7%% more is an extra $12,126+ in the bank!
5) WE SELL FASTER Maybe you want to sell fast because you don’t like the process. Maybe you have your eye on a new home, and you don’t want to stress about owning two houses at once. Or maybe you just have an urgent need to sell… Whatever the case, we sell homes 4x faster than the average agent.
