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 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
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.

Phil's team was excellent! We loved working with them (Especially Kelly!) and they made our first home purchase so simple. They were persistent and fought for us through a pretty tough situation. I recommend them to everyone!
sfreeman90
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!

From our initial meeting to the close of the sale, we were extremely satisfied with the Aitken Team. They kept us informed of every detail along the way and kept us feeling positive and confident based on their knowledge and professionalism. Matt was always responsive to our calls and answered all of our questions.
Their expertise and advice even helped us sell our home over the asking price. We highly recommend Phil and his Team.

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.

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!
sarahjustin2009
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
The process of selling my home from listing to closing was handled expertly. The "A Team" is certainly an appropriate name for Phil and Nadia. I can only say GREAT JOB.
rweldon51
Y’all are the best! I’m a forever customer! The A team was able to get a contract on my property being sold in December before Christmas! It was on the market for maybe a week, very impressive. (Thanks Phil??) That should speak volumes on its own! Thanks to the entire team for helping with my recent purchase in Orange Park! So much love for y’all!!????

Phil was such an awesome realtor. We recently bought a house in November of 2014 and I heard the home buying process was extremely stressful however with Phil as our realtor, the process was completely smooth and positive. One of the best things about this realtor is that he works very well with all parties involved such as the bank, the other realtor an all of the in between people. He was very good about answering any and all questions we had. I highly recommend having him as your realtor!!

The Phil Aitken Home Team is great to work with and are extremely responsive and professional! We were faced with some last minute challenging circumstances in a recent transaction and they helped tremendously in creating a positive outcome for all involved. They displayed great teamwork and creativity in order to overcome the obstacles. We look forward to working with them again in the future!
Nelisa Lee
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.

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
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 team at Phil Aitken was such a great help in finding us out first home. As first time home buyers, we were very nervous about the process but they made us feel supported and informed every step of the way. My husband is also active duty and deployed and they were so flexible helping work with us across three different time zones and going to houses and sending videos so my husband felt like he could be there in person. Highly recommend them for buying or selling in the future!
John Parsons
I would highly recommend Phil Aitken. He is an excellent, trustworthy real estate agent, with plenty of experience and negotiation skills. I'm very happy with my experience with Phil. He will walk you through all of the complexities of buying and negotiating for a home so that process is very simple, but is flexible, and will allow your input if you so desire.
JoshDRitchey
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!
eandm87
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 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
Great customer focused team, very reliable and attentive to our needs. We were able to close on a VA loan within the 26 days deadline we gave. The loan officer they recommended was exceptionally Professional and expedited the loans process too. We had to work through an unresponsive team on the seller's side because their agent was too busy. but Phil's team pursued and were persistent until they got our answers and helped get all the repairs considered accurately and helped pull it off. They supported us and pushed the doors down for us to meet our extremely tight deadline!. Very impressive! He was directly involved all the way through. Definitely the "A" team. Very grateful to Kelly Secaurs, who took the time to listen and respond to our every request!
Worshipheart711
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 was absolutely outstanding in every area. He's extremely knowledgeable about the real estate business and about the local area we were looking in. He was extremely responsive, very professional, and very easy to work with. He also was a wealth of excellent recommendations and contacts in the area. He has a "can-do" attitude and often goes beyond what would normally be expected of a realtor. In short, he is the best realtor we have ever worked with. We would recommend Phil without reservation to anyone in the Jacksonville area.
Debbie Slingo
We had very specific criteria for a home and it was not easy to find. Phil took his time and worked with us, showing us as many houses as needed until we found “The Perfect House”. Phil was very patient, stayed on top of communication, and always answered all of our questions. His attention to customer service makes him stand out from other realtors. I highly recommend Phil Aitken! The next time we are in the position to buy or sell a home, we will be going back to Phil!
tdeadman
Great group of people, very professional and true to your every need and want. Phil and his team worked with me to find the perfect home for my family and I. I love it, my children love it and most importantly my wife loves it.

As a first time homebuyer, Stephanie did an excellent job guiding me through the process. Very professional, quick to respond and negotiated a great deal! Highly recommend!
Daniel Burkhardt
Amazing real estate professional who really knows his stuff. Very honest! Phil and his team will do everything they can to find, and get you in the home of your dreams! I can not thank them enough for their patience and guidance through out the entire home buying process so far.
NicholeHarris6
I can’t even put into words how thankful my husband and I are for the Aitken home
Team and Phil. Our house was on the market for over 200 days without another agent. We needed to sell our home in order to move into our new home. I was so upset about having to relist and go through the process again with another agent. We had a full price offer 4 days after listing with the A team! Can’t thank them enough! Matt was amazing! Would definitely recommend the Aitken home team again and again
