Attention Buyers and Sellers of Real Estate (About Us)

 

Your Home is the most important and valuable asset you have or will purchase. As a consumer, you deserve the attention, respect and care in the handling of this kind of investment. The choices you make in purchasing or selling can and will be one of the most important decisions you will make in your lifetime. Real Estate is one of the largest investments people make, yet so little time is made available to the majority of us to educate ourselves as to the many details which truly surround making such an informed decision.

 

Most consumers must rely on the help of professionals to guide them through this process. Yet, in most cases, the information provided to you, the consumer, comes from the somewhat biased opinion of the individual representative. While larger companies and mega corporations spend millions of dollars on advertising their “brand name” for your recognition, should the consumer place their trust solely on the familiarity of the name itself?

 

While it is true that these companies have won public confidence through providing excellent service, it is however the representatives of these companies that you will work closely with during this investment process. Words like honesty, integrity, security and knowledge are dispensed like popcorn and candy to gain your confidence and respect throughout the entire transaction. But the truth is, corporate profit margins and overhead costs are minimal and have forced companies to affiliate themselves with related services companies such as Title and Escrow just to remain competitive. Discount Brokerages have also been on the rise in several markets and do not always offer a complete range of services when buying and/or selling. Bundled services can be a win/win for the company, but not always for the consumer, even though these offers are packaged and presented as provided savings. This may cause the “sometimes vulnerable” consumer with their lack of complete knowledge and resources to make uninformed decisions.

 

In an effort and concern to cover the demands and governing laws that have been placed on the Real Estate industry over the last 10 years, the desire and need for educational standards to be raised for licensing Real Estate Agents has been expressed tremendously. As years continue forward, we hopefully will witness Brokerages demand a far greater degree of education to keep the Industry progressive and up to date with the latest changes in law and standards of practice.

 

Clients, who all know me personally, know my background in management and my involvement in educational programs for Agents as a member of the Education Committee in our local Association of Realtors for over ten years. I continually work with Sellers on a daily basis and with Buyers through my trusted Associates. One thing I can assure is that any Agent associated with The OracleGroup must indeed pass rigorous tests both in education and experience in order to be part of OracleHomes’s Real Estate operations. They advise me daily on the status of every customer and are instructed to inform me directly the moment any red flag presents itself. Our Team is designed to give you the full assistance, care and attention that you deserve. 

 

I sincerely thank you in advance for your trust and confidence in making it your choice to work with OracleHomes as your Real Estate professionals for life.

 

Sincerely,
