Why Should We Sell Our Property With You When You Don't Have A Shop Front?

According to the latest statistics, there is a 96% chance a buyer will look at an online source before they buy a home

One of the questions we get asked by sellers is, why don’t you have a shopfront? Let's start by saying it was a deliberate choice. We don't believe a shop front is a necessity for our business or any other forward thinking real estate business in 2021 and beyond. The proof is in the pudding as it were, check out all the properties we have recently sold for above market results without a shop front HERE

When we first launched our business we looked at several traditional real estate franchise models, but the costs and overheads just didn't stack up. This would of been an easier solution in that we could of just bought into a business in a box, but those franchise models were originally conceived in the 70's and 80's and were not efficient enough to drive the kind of results we wanted to achieve for our clients.

According to the latest statistics, there is a 96% chance a buyer will look at an online source before they buy a home. People aren't just aren’t walking into offices anymore. In our coastal town, real estate window browsers are often just waiting for their coffee, ice cream or fish and chips.

Mat Steinwade one of Australia's most prolific real estate agents agrees. In a recent blog, he told his subscribers that the internet has taken the place of the window display.

"Gone are the days when a buyer will walk around from real estate office to real estate office and register their name" he blogged on matsteinwade.com. "Buyers don't even want to go into an office at all. They want to look on the internet or go to an open home. Technology has made it very easy for buyers to sit in their home and search through all properties available, from all agents".

We also don't need to pass the cost of an office and overheads onto our home sellers, meaning we are able to offer them much more than our competitors, for less.

It’s also one of the reasons we’re investing tens of thousands of dollars creating a new localised real estate app to deliver new homes and alerts to homebuyers in the way they want to receive and interact with them.
