The Silent Victims
Home sellers often become the silent victims of the real estate process.

Beware The Phantom Buyer
Your home’s been on the market for a while, no sale yet, and your agreement with the agent is about to expire. Guess who knows it too? Your agent. Could this explain the sudden, last-minute “buyer interest” that appears out of nowhere?

Why Does The Agent Ask Me This?
"How much do you want?" "What price did you have in mind?" "What sort of money are you looking for?" Sound familiar? Every seller hears these questions. But let’s be blunt: why on earth is your agent — the so-called property expert — asking you to set the price? Isn’t that their job? It’s not about guidance. It’s about leverage. And the sooner you see through it, the harder it becomes for them to play the game at your expense.

"Robert's service is an incredible service. The guidance received from Robert made the process of selling that simple, my house was sold one day on the market, with an excellent price. Sounds unbelievable, but this is a sincere and true review. Robert's system to select agents is excellent. Without Robert's assistance, the selling process could not have gone so smoothly. Once the agent was selected (which took only two attempts) the whole process was absolutely seamless and provided excellent results. I would highly recommend Robert for any selling process. Robert is solely dedicated to assisting the seller and it feels very assuring to have that type of professional support/guidance, during the highly daunting process of selling. Many thanks to Robert's service, it should be known to all who sell. Thank you Robert from myself. Maria H."
