About Miguel Avila

Why hire Miguel Avila to sell and/or buy real estate

How do you decide what agent you want to hire to sell your property? You want an agent that knows what they are doing and can show you their results. It is key to note that properties that sell for more money sell quicker.

So here are our key real estate statistics:
The properties we listed and sold in 2011 stay on the market an average of 27 days. The average sale price is 98% of the list price, with 25% selling at or above list price. This compares to market averages of 96% & 60 days. This means more money for you and less inconvenience due to showing too many prospective buyers!

There are 3 main areas that help drive the results we can have for you:

Technology
We use technology effectively to save time and money for both us and our clients. We can communicate with our client in whichever platform (phone, email, text, etc.) they choose. We know how to use the internet to help you, our client, quickly and effectively market your property on 1,000's of websites. The greater the exposure, the better the ability to sell the property quickly for more money. Why is the web so important? National Association of Realtors research shows that over 90% of all home searches start on the internet. It also shows that people searching are better educated in the home buying process and know what they want. So it is critical to maximize the exposure of your property.

Client partnership in the real estate process
People who are looking to buy and sell real estate in this part of the country are highly educated, knowledgeable and want to work with people like themselves. Nevertheless, people need to be educated in today's real estate market so they know what is needed to accomplish their objectives. In working with you to accomplish your objectives, I put your objectives and interests first and work towards achieving them. By managing expectations from the beginning, this enables us to make the process go as smoothly as possible for you.

Customer Service
The testimonials can do a far better job to explain how we work with clients, but suffice it to say that this is about YOU and YOUR needs, not ours. Please note that this website is about information for you as a seller or a buyer, not showcasing me. It is not about my ego, unlike many agents in the market place. We respect the clients’ objectives and understand they are unique to that client. We believe in staying in touch throughout the whole process. Whether you are looking to sell and/or buy a home, locally or across country, we will keep you updated with the information that YOU need when you need it.

As I tell my clients, we want you to have the best real estate experience possible, and we will do whatever it takes to make that happen. Our objective is to turn you into cheerleaders for us. Am sure you know that to become a fan will require an incredible effort on our part!
