How the David Garcia Home Selling Team Helped James by Putting the Customer before Profit

“We were looking for somebody that could move homes. It was kinda funny, we got on the web, my wife started looking around and said, hey look at this commercial for a guy named David. Well, he’s got a good endorsement and he’s got lots of good reviews, so let’s go ahead and check it out. We met with David a few days after that.  And he came out and he explained how he operates. David was obviously very professional, but I could tell he’s the kind of guy who lays it out like it is.  He was very businesslike, said hey look here’s how we’re gonna do it, if you’re gonna do business with me you’re going to have to do some of these things I’m gonna recommend and you’re going to have to spend a little money to make this happen. If you do these things I’ve never had a house not sell, let alone quickly. We had to get a stager of course, we paid for a pre-inspection, and whatever little repairs had to be done after we got the pre-inspection results. Things just happened. Within 16 days of being on the market we basically had a buyer. I think everything that David said held true.  Cause we were kind of in a crunch situation. We had to get the house sold and move so we could get up to North Texas to help out family. So we were really in a pinch and we had no room for error. We went in, we weren’t trying to make a profit off of this but we knew were at a pretty high price point. And when it was all said and done David did his thing negotiating with the buyers. It wasn’t about generating a profit for him. It was about getting the house sold. I know it sounds funny but a lot of agents we’ve dealt with in the past it was like alright, let me hurry up and get it on the market and cross my fingers and hope it sells. David was very particular about how he went about doing business. After two weeks or so if we’re not getting anything or it’s not looking the way we want it to, we’re not just going to go out and lower the price, we’re going to sit down with you. We’re going to go over a market analysis, and then we’re going to talk, make recommendations, [and] you’re going to give us feedback on what you think about that. I think that’s what stood out was that it wasn’t just about money it was about doing good business for the customer not just making a profit. It was about how to make the house stand out and how to take care of the customer. “
