Look no further for Realtors® many consider Stillwater, MN’s Best

When weighing our extensive real estate experience, our education and professional backgrounds along with our clients Google Reviews and we have many past clients who consider us as one of Stillwater’s best Realtors®. Year in and year out Becky and I see the biggest failure on the part of home buyers and sellers simply is because they do not properly perform due diligence and validate the qualifications of the Realtor® they ultimately decide to represent them.

 

 

Mistakes we repeatedly see home buyers and home sellers of all ages make regardless if they are a first-time home buyer/seller, or an experienced home buyer/seller simply comes down to two reasons.

First, they do not take the proper time researching a Realtor® before making a decision. Secondly, they really do not fully understand what they should be using as qualifying factors in determining which Realtor should represent them. The following are common mistakes made by consumers:

• Hire an agent based on a recommendation of someone they know even though they haven’t done due diligence and interviewed and researched other Realtors(R).
• Hire a Realtor® because they are somehow involved with an organization they belong to which possibly might be a church, an athletic organization, or a professional organization such as a networking group.
• Saw the agents sign across the street and the home sold quickly.
• Have seen quite a few signs of a particular Realtors® around town so they must be top agents.
• The real estate agent is attractive or has a physical attribute that is appealing.
• Realtor® mails/emails information to the neighborhood from time to time such as cooking recipes, etc.

 

John and Becky Durham of the Durham Executive Group – RE/MAX Results 

The following are attributes many consider Becky and John qualify as one of Stillwater, MN’s best Realtors®. 

• We are a married husband and wife real estate team that work together with every real estate client. Basically, when a client hires us they are receiving the ‘power of 2 Realtors®’ for the price of one Realtor®.
• At the Durham Executive Group we consider ourselves ‘boutique’ Realtors® because we work exclusively with our clients from the very beginning throughout the transaction all the way past the sale to the closing. We do not have multiple real estate agents (including buyer agents) on our team falsely giving the general public the impression that one particular agent is responsible for so many signs and sales.
• We do not use transaction coordinators to process all the legal documents in a transaction. Becky and I handle every aspect of a transaction ourselves unlike other real estate teams who hire un-licensed individuals to handle your transaction when there are legal implications.
• These real estate teams have a trained Realtor® who specializes in giving a professional listing presentation and upon securing your listing contract you never see or hear from them again as you are working with front desk personnel, a transaction coordinator, and/or often times with Realtors® who often times are not experienced. With Becky and myself you will only work directly with us every step of the way. No bait and switch!
• When interviewing do you ask Realtors® for a resume to see their past work and school history? Do the Realtors® you are interviewing have a degree? Have the Realtors® had a professional job at any time throughout their career? 
  • Becky has an undergraduate Education degree and has teaching experience.
  • Becky has a Masters degree in Counseling and has worked with thousands of college and graduate students.
