Testimonial:
“I would recommend David Sattelmeyer to anyone that is having trouble selling their home, or anyone that would like to sell their home quickly. My first home was in a quiet family neighborhood in Fayetteville, but I moved and had to sell the home. I attempted to sell the home myself "For Sale By Owner", but for 6 months I received no offers. I wasted most of my weekends showing the home and was becoming frustrated. I then hired a REALTOR®, which gave me back my weekends, but another 8 months went by with no offers. I was forced to consider other options, and was beginning to think that my home was not sell-able.
A friend of mine who recently sold a home referred me to David Sattelmeyer who had helped him. David seemed extremely professional and confident that he could sell my home in a few short months. David developed a strategy and provided a detailed, clear, and concise, written plan on how to sell my home. I followed David's expert advice to prepare the home to look more inviting with minimal out of pocket expenses. David then ensured that the home was being advertised in a variety of different ways, maximizing exposure to potential buyers. David's strategy worked in two short months, and the home sold. Thanks David!!!!!”

Some points to consider:
· With over 4,000 homes for sale right now, I have the experience and training to provide your home the edge to sell ahead of the competition.
· If you hire me to list your home on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), I can ensure the more than one thousand other agents in town will know to show your house to their interested buyers (imagine each agent has anywhere from 1-5 buyers each month). The MLS works like a mall; it brings together buyers and properties in one place. Just like most people shop at a mall, most people shop with an agent to help them find the right house.
· While hiring a real estate agent is the #1 way to get a home sold, internet exposure is the #2 way to sell a home. I list my clients’ homes on 300 plus websites to include the biggest ones in the country: Trulia.com, Realtor.com, Zillow.com, and Homes.com (and others like MilitaryByOwner.com). About 90% of buyers use the internet now to find homes, and I put virtual tours movies online for them to view properties for sale. Additionally, our company does monthly print color ads in local magazines and newspapers. I also do mailings of postcards with my client’s homes featured in them.
· Put my professional advice and service to work for you. The average home buyer purchases three homes in their lifetime in the U.S. I have single months where I do as many or more transactions than that. I am a licensed broker and member of the National Association of REALTORS®. I can provide objective feedback on how to sell your home and rationally negotiate with buyers to get you the best possible deal on an offer.
· I can professionally sell homes, the most important financial investment for most Americans. I can advise and guide you thru offers, contracts, mandatory NC property disclosures, negotiations, marketing plans, staging, homes inspections, home maintenance, HUD-1 closing statements, and much more. You probably see for sales signs by agents all over town, because we provide a valuable service that requires education, training, and a license from the state.
· Let me market and sell your home to all 1500 agents in town registered on the MLS. If each agent is working with 1-5 buyers each month, then I can show your home to between 1,500 and 7,500 buyers a month.
Here are 8 great reasons why you might need me (from the National Association of REALTORS(R))
1. I can sell your house for more money.
According to the 2003 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers,
the typical FSBO home sold for $145,000, compared to $175,000 for a
salesperson-assisted home. This means that even if you pay me a
6-percent commission, you will realize $164,500 versus $145,000.
2. I understand how to complete the many contracts, forms and disclosure statements required in a real estate transaction.
Consider all the dozens of forms needed to complete a
transaction—lead paint disclosure statement, property condition
disclosure statement, purchase contract, legal description of the
property, contingency clause addendum, etc.—this may be on reason to
list with me. According to the 2003 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, difficulty with paperwork was the biggest problem FSBOs had in selling their own homes.
3. I do this full-time.
Often FSBOs don’t recognize how many hours a real estate
salesperson spends. You would not belive the amount of time you will
have to take from your free time to sell your home by yourself. Put me
to work for you today!
4. I have the market knowledge to price the home competitively.
FSBOs may know what one or two homes near them have sold for,
but you don’t have the access to the wide number of comps that I do or
the market knowledge to adjust pricing. According to the 2003 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, setting the right price was the third most difficult problem FSBOs had in selling their own homes.
5. I can be objective, handle criticism of the house, and focus on how well the homes suits a buyer.
All owners have emotional attachments to their homes and I will
emphasize the features most desirable to a buyer during a showing. As a
trained professional, I am more attuned to the buyers’ needs and able to
highlight the home’s features that have the most appeal to each buyer.
6. I can assess buyers’ ability to afford the property and help them locate the best places to obtain financing.
Often buyers, especially inexperienced ones, rely on the real
estate salesperson to help them obtain a mortgage. I have experience in
helping buyers locate a lender and select between fixed, adjustable, or
balloon mortgages. I are also experienced in prequalifying buyers so
that they will not make an offer on a home they cannot afford.
7. I know how to negotiate and overcome objections.
Balancing offers and counteroffers, as well as handling many of
the contingencies that usually accompany real estate transactions, can
be frustrating or frightening for FSBOs. I can be the poker face
negotiator to get you the best possible deal in the least amount of
time.
8. I can get the transaction closed.
Many FSBOs think that once the purchase agreement is signed, your
work is over. But this is often just the beginning of the sales
transaction. Tasks that must be completed before closing include various
home inspections, termite inspection, title insurance, building permits
for improvements, appraisals, renegotiations for due diligence, and
much more. My professional help will ensure the deal is more likely to
close. I cannot recall how many deals I have saved in the past
through my professional expertise. I can help you navigate all sorts of
challenges and mitigate the various risks in selling a home.
