- You get one of the area's top real estate professionals on your team - working toward our shared goal of getting your property sold in a timely fashion for the highest price the current market will allow.
- 100 percent commitment to providing my clients with the highest level of service, professionalism and integrity possible.
- An experienced, highly qualified real estate broker who strives for unsurpassed knowledge in all aspects of real estate practice and law. To that end, I am dedicated to a rigorous continuing education regimen.
- I am a California Department of Real Estate licensed broker - not just a salesperson.
- In addition, I have earned the distinguished National Association of Realtors (NAR) "Certified Residential Specialist" (CRS) designation. Considered the "creme de la creme," CRS designees - numbering fewer than five percent of all Realtors nationwide - have earned the most prestigious residential real estate credential in the United States.
- I am an Accredited Staging Professional (ASP).
- I have completed Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) designation presented by The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing.
Above all else, I am committed to providing personalized attention to all of my clients. As a result, I purposefully keep my listing inventory very manageable to better serve you. I have a personal assistant, available when I am occupied. You can be assured that your listing will not get "lost in the crowd."
- An important benefit...I do not pass along any additional "add-on" charges to my clients. Today, most agents require these "administrative fees" - ranging from $350 - $1000 - to be paid by sellers. If the seller does not pay the fee directly, brokers often deduct the amount from the agent's commission (money that could have gone into marketing your home). Either way, the seller ultimately pays the fee.
- I will develop a specific marketing plan for your probate property. Some agents - looking out for their own best interests rather than yours - will delay marketing activities as long as possible in hopes of procuring their own buyer (a "double pop").
Moreover, agents with the "traditional" firms are at the mercy of busy office administrators who often take several days to process their listings (along with paperwork for all of the office's other agents), input the listings into the Multiple Listing Services (M.L.S.) and place all of that company's advertising.
Since I "broker load" my own listings in the M.L.S., comprehensive information about your property will be readily accessible to real estate agents within a short period of time after completing your listing. Internet and print advertising will start appearing as soon as deadlines of the various media allow. Development and distribution of professional-quality flyers and other information materials will be complete in just a few days. No one will get marketing materials into the hands of real estate agents and prospective buyers faster!
I will personally oversee every aspect of marketing, negotiations and escrow coordination involved in successfully selling your probate property.
- I am a full-time Realtor. To be successful in this highly competitive marketplace, it is imperative that your agent devotes 100 percent of her on-the-job time and energies to real estate.
- I am "2000's agent." Unlike many agents who specialize in a narrowly defined geographic area or neighborhood, I am an expert - possessing in-depth knowledge and expertise-in the majority of San Diego County. This broad-based expertise benefits you because of the wider marketing exposure it affords your property and the bigger pool of buyers from which we can draw.
- Our fresh approach to marketing homes - a comprehensive, fully integrated strategy that incorporates the full range of marketing techniques - is designed to get your property sold as quickly as possible for the best price possible. In addition, I assure even greater exposure for your listings through my memberships in the esteemed Residential Sales Council and The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing.
- Your listing will be accessible to the millions of worldwide internet "surfers" visiting some of the most popular real estate web sites. Your listing will be featured at such well-known web addresses as Realtor.com, Sandicor.com, Zillow.com, YourRealEstateAnswers.com, and Stagedhomes.com will be found via some of the most-used "search engines."
- I stay up-to-date on current activities and trends in the marketplace. I will constantly keep you apprised of any developments affecting the sale of your home.
- I keep my marketing skills sharpened and up-to-date by regularly attending training seminars, workshops and retreats.
- Anyone who knows me well will tell you Kim is a "straight shooter." She will be truthful and honest in all her dealings with you, potential buyers, other agents and any other parties involved in the sale of your home.
- NO ONE WILL WORK HARDER FOR YOU!
- Finally, it does not matter whether an agent claims to be #1. What matters most is that you are #1 with your real estate agent. You always are #1 with Kim Ward and Horizon Real Estate! I promise to provide the undivided, personalized attention you and your home deserve. No question or concern of yours is too trivial for my attention. Your satisfaction is my foremost concern.
