Why Such A Big Difference Between Brokers?

Windermere Brokers are known for their down to earth communication style and for their popularity with Portland real estate clients. We all see their signs in our neighborhoods. But the gap between Windermere Brokers and all others is even larger when it comes to homes $500,000 and above. Why is this true?

 The difference between companies is significant to say the least. So, why?

I think it may have a lot do do with three things I notice.

1.) A collaborative environment where brokers support one another. This does not mean sharing private information about their clients. But it does specifically aknowledge how the brokers tour each other’s listings and offer honest feedback on their impressions, staging and marketability. It also means that, rather than “Old-School Approaches” that have limited effectiveness, Windermere brokers collaborate on market trends, buyer trends, and other industry data that results in clear, concise information. People feel secure knowing that the best price was achieved.

2.) Windermere brokers are using resources, tools and approaches that actually work well in today real estate market. The Graphing tools, for example, help people understand more clearly the pricing of homes in neighborhoods, zipcodes and even down to the block.

3.) Finally, I think something as simple as their professional, personable and down-to-earth style is especially appreciated by people in Portland. They have the most effective resources yet listen to the unique situations people express.

There are a host of reasons Windermere Brokers do well, and especially above $500,000, but I believe that the three above represent the essence of all the client feedback responses we get daily.

What do you think?
