You know as well as I do that there is no shortage of Realtors to choose from. It feels like when the market was hot everyone and their brother got into Real Estate. So why would you use The Derrick Monroe Group (DMG) when selling or buying your next property? I would first like to preface this by saying that if you are looking for that slick, tell you what you want to hear salesperson, you should probably look elsewhere because I am not that guy. I am very down to earth, love this career, and will listen intently to your specific needs.  My goal is to always put my best foot forward and help you, without all of the gimmicky sales tactics.

Our Marketing

Marketing is crucial and just slapping a sign in the yard and placing it for sale on the MLS is no longer sufficient. In todays “at your fingertips” world you need your property’s marketing to POP & JUMP out at you!  This is where we come in.  Our team takes advertising seriously and knows it is crucial to present your property in the best light the first time.

Social Media

Social media is here, it’s relevant and we do it!  We will advertise your property on social networks such as…

Social media is crucial in today’s world.  With over 70% of home buyers on these platforms daily you need to have a presence. DMG does.  Posting a quick picture with phone number isn’t enough, our team takes it to the next level. We utilize live video, open house tours, aerial drone videos and much more.  You will be hard pressed to find anyone that does it better than DMG we truly have the ability to reach thousands and thousands of buyers through social networking.

Experience

Every deal has a chance of hitting a snag.  With years of experience, chances are high if we run into an issue we’ve most likely dealt with it before.  This experience allows us to handle issues efficiently and quickly for you.  Countless Realtors are part-time, or view this business as “side-hustle” or a job for extra income because they have “always liked houses”.  I can assure you that we are dedicated. When I first started as a realtor I invested heavily in weekly real estate mentors and a real estate coach. DMG’s growth and industry experience has allowed us to now focus on fine tuning our craft.  We network with other leading realtors across the country, study and field test new marketing techniques, expand our SEO knowledge, and keep up with national and local market trends. This is our full-time career and we take it very seriously. Contact us now.

Communication

Sounds simple, right?  Well, it is.  Yet so many agents are just not willing to put forth the energy to make things happen. These agents just hope it will all work out. I go on listing appointments all the time and sellers will say, “The Realtor was great when we listed but after that we couldn’t seem to get ahold of them, they would take days to return e-mails”, and so forth.  I call these agents “list-em and leave-em” Realtors.  They list the house and then seem to disappear.  At DMG, we communicate weekly with updates, provide feedback from showings if available, and remain actively involved. We are always here to answer your questions and help guide you through the process.

Pictures & Blogs

Cell phone pictures, low quality digital shots, and black and white flyers wet from the rain are a thing of the past. We use high quality imaging and blogging to draw attention.

Your home photos are the first thing a prospect will see when surfing the web at 2 AM, what do your home photos say?

We use only professional photographers and all advertising goes through a quality control process.  The Derrick Monroe Group will always showcase your home in the best light possible and write blog posts that not only draw attention and but also get calls.  There is nothing trivial about marketing, it all matters and we take it seriously.

Negotiation Skills

I will be the first to admit, one of my favorite things about this business is the deal.  I truly enjoy working to get the best deal I can get for my clients, whether it’s selling their home for the best money the market will bring, or negotiating terms on their purchase.  Anyone can take an offer over fax, bring it to their client’s house and tell them where to sign. We take it to the next level.  DMG negotiates strongly to not only get you the price you want, but the closing date, personal property, and contingency terms that best protect you.

A large part of why you should hire DMG is to work with the buyers or sellers agents to obtain terms that make your life as easy as possible, not only when it comes to moving, but also to improve your bottom line.  With hundreds of sold properties under our belt you can be assured our negotiating skills are sharp and we will be ready to fight hard for your needs.

Track Record For Our Sellers

DMG has listed and sold hundreds of different property types. From homes to commercial listings, traditional sales to short sales and foreclosures, we have always been proud of our lower than average days on market and our higher than average sale prices for our sellers.  Over the years we have consistently remained one of the most active home sellers in our area by marketing hard, doing the right thing by our sellers, and getting top dollar.

Repeat Customers and Referrals

A staggering 80% of our business is comprised of previous customers returning to either buy or sell with us again, or past customers referring friends and family to the DMG group. In our opinion, there is no greater testament to a job well done than a return customer or referral.
