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.

The Aitken team was incredible with the sale of my house. Phil, Nadia, and Matt treated my family with their personal touch and provided us the best experience with our sale sale. We had worked with them for several months before listing our house and they were there every step of the way. Between the house sale, the photos, and every buyer item Phil's team was there to support us and provide the necessary information we needed as sellers.
After the sale of my house they continued to provide support for me in the purchase of my new house across country. Whether it was helping answer questions or securing necessary documents, they continued to provide excellent service moving forward.

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!!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Phil and the Aitken Team! Phil has been on the lookout for the right home for us for 2 years and stood ready to jump into action when the right one came along. Kelly Secaur, part of the Team, walked us through every step of the buying process and negotiated with the seller to get us the best possible deal. Phil and the rest of the team were always available to answer our every question, and since my husband is 81 and I am 76, there were many! Kelly became more than just our agent, she became our friend. Both my husband and I will recommend The Aitken Team to anyone who is planning to buy or sell a home! Go Team!

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.

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!!

Phil was great! He help us to get our house fast, because my husband and I did not had a long time to look for it and we told Phil what are we were looking for and he got it for. He makes enjoyable to work with him. I recommend him in a heart beat.

I had such a great experience with Phil Aitken. Kelly Secaur is simply outstanding. She is very responsive and helpful. I bought a home while residing in another state. She made the process seamless from browsing the properties to showing and every step afterwards. I am extremely satisfied and would definitely recommend her and Phil Aitken.

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
He is very knowledgeable and honest. He kept me updated on everything in a very timely manner. He is very professional. He worked around my schedule with no problem. He made sure I understood everything that was going on.

Phil was AMAZING with helping us sell our home. He told us how to prepare to selling and with his help (and God's grace), we sold the house in less than a week! And the nice part was we didn't have to do much, Phil handled everything with integrity and professionalism that is always refreshing to see in the real estate business. Thank you, Phil!

I would highly recommend this team. Their knowledge of the area and the process of buying a home in this area was impressive. The agents knowledge of the area, and responsiveness was great.
lwaynewilley
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 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.
tayloreclemons
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
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
It is rare today to find someone who under commits and over delivers, but that is exactly what the Phil Aitken team did! I found Phil, and his team, to be extremely knowledgeable, insightful, and on top of the entire process. He explained the process up front, did great analysis of our property, and gave exceptional advice all along the way. Phil kept his cool when others do not, and conducted himself as a true professional at all times. Without reservation, he has my highest recommendation, and I will use the Phil Aitken Team again should I have the need.
Ms. Baldwin
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
The entire team was great! We were on a tight time frame and Kelly and Stephanie got us set up to see homes, and then helped us every step of the way through closing.
yannabelle
This was such an awesome experience everyone on Phil’s Team is Top notch. Very responsive and willing to go above and beyond to assist. I am very happy I found them the best decision ever!
Shawn webster
Phil and his team are amazing. Always on top of it all. You can trust them...completely.
We received a great price for our home because of Phil's suggestions. He suggested we ensure that we "depersonalize" our home, clean the closets out, ensure that people can see your home as theirs. They are not coming to see "your" home.
I would send emails with questions any and all time of day...and here comes a response within 24 hours or less. You are "never" left hanging or wondering.
He is your "partner" in selling your home, not just your realtor. You don't do this everyday...they do. There are things you wouldn't even think about...they do.

After working with many high-quality, professional realtors, The Phil Aitken team has truly changed the way I think about the process of home buying. This team will make you feel like you are their only client and will work hard to make sure you get everything you are looking for in your search for the perfect home. In a competitive market, we were able to go from deciding to buy, to being under contract for a home in about a week - that's what I call efficiency! This team truly does everything right and it would be a mistake to go with anyone else.

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
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.
user3151703
Phil’s team approached us with a plan to sell our home. They understand that presenting the house online creates the most demand to see the house. As a result, we received an offer within 2 weeks of the house being listed. I recommend them!
zuser20170522182108579
The professionalism, competency, knowledge and efficiency of working with Phil Aitken and his team were exemplary! We had a short timeline to work with and he rallied his team together and made us feel like we were the most important customer they had. They stayed connected with us every step of the way! As things closed out we were delighted to see the Welcome sign in front yard announcing our arrival into the neighborhood. If you are looking for a realtor that that is first class we recommend Phil Aitken and his team!
Victoria Hoch
We used the Aitken Home Team (Phil Aitken) to buy our house on Fleming Island, and then to sell it 2 years later. Phil and the team took the time to work with us to develop a pricing strategy, they suggested the improvements required for a quick sale, and they recommended a marketing strategy to get best price/fastest sale possible. The result was a realistic and accepted offer in 6 days! In addition, Phil provided advice on the purchase of our next home which was spot-on!
I highly recommend the Aitken Home Team for your Real Estate needs.
zuser20170302095943592
The Phil Aitken team were the best. It was interesting to see how the buying/ selling divisions culminated in the successful marketing of our homes. My wife and I were very pleased with their efforts and expertise. They were on top of everything that needed to be done in the transaction. Very professional . The whole team works together and gets things done.

Phil, Kelly & the team really made the entire process so easy. They are fantastic. They worked so hard to get our house sold and get us into our new house as seamlessly as possible. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone I know!!
