Feedback is a sensitive topic for both sellers and listing agents. Because of this, some agents completely neglect it. We, on the other hand, believe that feedback is not only a good way to build a relationship with our clients, but a helpful way to improve the value of your home. When you are showing your home, feedback from potential buyers can make or break a home sale. The difference is in how you react to negative feedback.

Our listing agents will work with you throughout the home sale - they will not list your home and simply disappear. This is important for the showing process for a few reasons. For one, when you view negative feedback as a wake up call, we can help you fix the cause of the problem. If it is the same issue that is generating feedback, an agent will know how to best fix the problem. Which brings us to another reason an agent is nice to have around during this stage: we bring a different perspective while keeping your interests in mind. By staying open-minded, you can turn whatever is bothering potential buyers into a positive aspect of your home. Putting yourself in the buyer's shoes is an important step to seeing the good in eliminating a problem.

If everything is handled correctly, what the first group of buyers had a problem with may be turned into a positive for the next group. We can help make this happen. If you are selling your home and want to work with a team that knows how to make the most of the hiccups that inevitably occur when showing your property, give us a call. We would love to help you turn a problem into a positive so you can get top value for your home!

Always Consult a Professional for an Accurate Home Value

A lot of our clients use Trulia and we generally recommend it. There are plenty of useful functions and it's the most convenient way to begin your home search. However, there are a few limitations we want to make sure you're aware of:

People will pull up a bunch of listings on the site before calling us to set up a time to visit the properties. The problem is that the homes are often either under agreement or no longer available.
Trulia is a lead capture system, meaning they sell space on the website to local Realtors, capture leads, and send those leads to the agents who purchased the spot. The agent then calls the interested buyers and tries to convert the leads into home sales.

These drawbacks can make the home buying process a stressful experience. For one, it stings to find a handful of homes that seem to fit your needs, only to find out they aren't available. Additionally, the agent that Trulia will send you to is often not the listing agent. If you want to know everything possible about a home before you buy it, don't you want to work with the listing agent, the most knowledgeable person about the property?

There are still some nice features Trulia has to offer. For instance, if you aren't quite ready to speak with an agent, you can fill out a form at the bottom of the page with your name, email, and contact information, and the listing agent will call you back. That way, when you're ready, you get the best information available and have a chance to throw a few interview questions at the agent to see if they are the right fit for you.

If you are looking to buy a home, you are going to need to work with a real estate expert- 98% of home buyers hire one. If you want service that is specifically catered to your needs, give us a call or send us an email. We'd love to take care of you.

testimonials from happy clients

Colleen - “We were very impressed with her negotiation skills and how dedicated she was!"

Jill - “Judi and her team were always professional and she was just very knowledgeable in the field."

Jenny - “Team SAYHAY is really on top of their game and they’re just awesome!"

Judy - "Between the time we signed the contract and put it on the multi-list, it was sold within 48 hours. They had the pictures take on Monday, it was put on the website on by Tuesday, we had 2 people in Wednesday morning to look at it, and it was sold by Thursday morning. Judi was wonderful! During the process, I had gotten sick and she jumped right in and got everything straightened out for the closing, which I really appreciated! "

Judi - "Team SAYHAY sold my house relatively quickly so we had good results! I kind of had a nervous breakdown because we were moving 1,100 miles away and Judi was just very sweet and patient with me when she really didn’t have to be. Overall, I was just very happy with them! "

Pat - "She had sold 3 houses for me and they all sold very quickly. In fact, the last 2 sold to the first buyers that looked at them. Judi just has a way of attracting the right buyer and it’s the combination with pricing it right that makes it sell so quickly! Houses don’t sit on the market with Judi!"

Dan - "I got very positive results. Judi answered all of my questions, and she was always there for my needs. I had done a lot of research on the mortgage, and she took that information and got me a better deal! "

What our happy Pittsburgh clients have to say

"I had the pleasure of working with Judi during late 2010 and early 2011. Judi and her team were most helpful during what was my first time selling a house.

Judi listed, and subsequently sold, my 3 bedroom/2.5 bathroom townhome in Marshall Township (Wexford, PA) that earned me a handsome profit. At the same time, Judi also represented me though contract negotiations with a local custom home builder for construction of a 4 bedroom/2.5 bathroom home also in Marshall Township.

In selling my townhome, Judi scheduled multiple open houses, followed-up with attendees and prospective buyers, kept me informed throughout the process, and always returned my telephone calls and e-mails in a timely and efficient manner. Judi also attended the closing and ensured contract language was accurate and appropriate.

Judi also attended meetings between me and the local builder to ensure that I was receiving a quality home product at a fair and reasonable price. Judi's knowledge of the local builder and the local real estate environment were instrumental in helping me negotiate a very good deal on this contract that saved me thousands of dollars. Judi met me at the construction site several times for walkthroughs during the home's construction. Judi and I inspected the progress regularly to ensure the home was being built to the contract’s specifications so as to protect the integrity and quality of my investment.

In short, Judi exhibited a high level of professionalism and local real estate knowledge that would be helpful to any buyer or seller. As Judi represented me as both the seller of an existing home and the buyer of a new home, I can highly recommend Judi's services to any prospective seller and/or buyer."

"Over the past 15+ years, Judy has helped me with relocation for a number of physicians and medical physicists recruited to the Pittsburgh area for positions at a healthcare system. She is outstanding in this capacity. She responds immediately to my requests for relocation assistance and goes above and beyond to make sure the clients needs are met - neighborhood, school district, economics, commute to hospital, size and style of home, etc. The feedback from the families she has worked with include "I have worked with realtors all over the country, and Judy is without doubt the best at helping me find my home". "Judy made this process enjoyable, and her knowledge of the area and of available properties made our search efficient and effective." Because of my experience with Judy, I asked her to assist my daughter and her family in a relocation back to the Pittsburgh area. My daughter found her home in one day based on Judy's attention to detail regarding her family's needs in a home. I will continue to consult with Judy for relocation needs for my family members or professionally."
