Why List With Toker Property Group

The Toker Property Group Difference:

We all seek quality care and service whether we are being seen by a doctor, purchasing a car or shopping for any specialized product. Real Estate is no Different. We at the Toker Property Group have designed a multi-faceted Real Estate approach to the home selling experience that has yet to be matched as we see it.
We believe that it is vital for you to REALLY vet the Real Estate Agent or Team that you are considering hiring before signing on the dotted line. Once you sign, you are entrusting that agent or team with overseeing what is likely your largest and greatest investment. Do NOT choose an agent based on a suggested selling price, choose based on reviews and what they bring to the table for you. It’s easy to manipulate the suggested selling price to buy your listing and then to ask for price reductions later. Choose the selling price after you choose a Realtor® to work with. We know from experience that there is only one chance to get this very specialized process right, and that is the 1st time around.
Please review the services that we offer found below to use as a benchmark when interviewing our competition. Feel free to use the information and the information on our website when vetting your Realtor® It will be well worth your time to compare our services against all others.

Open Houses that are memorable

A Toker Property Group Open House is Truly unique and set apart from all of the Rest ; "Designed to Set your Home up for your Success"

This is why:
- By providing you a minimum 3-hour on-site commitment to sell your home, you know that you are in good hands and showing our dedication to selling your home.
- Since an Open House will usually generate an extra 8-15 group of guests that see your home that week you will save you valuable time and effort. You will not have to prepare or leave your home for extended periods of time as often as most of the showings will take place during the open house, resulting in better value for your time.
- We provide high quality 8’ custom open house flags to set your home apart and make it easier for it to be seen from the street. Perceived Value: your home will stand out among the other homes that are “For Sale” in your area. Those small open house signs being used by competing homes will pale in comparison, as they blend in and get lost on the street with all of the “White noise” and parked cars. The “Flags Waving Welcome” that is erected in front of your home will definitely draw the most attention.
- Two or three of our team-members will be there to work at your open house. One to greet your guests; ask necessary Covid 19 questions, and to take their contact information for contact tracing. We also provide masks, hand sanitizer and instruct them not to touch anything. No guest is allowed into your home unless this process has been undertaken. Each guest must wear a mask and sanitize their hands prior to entry. Once done, the listing agent then will provide each guest with a home brochure, let them know that all doors and drawers will be opened for them and then will proceed to showcase your home during the detailed guided tour. For our listed homes where we expect a larger turnout, we will have a third team member come to assist. In this situation we separate our showing routes and guests are guided through the home all exiting from an alternate door. New guests are welcomed and enter the home through the front door. The advantage of having multiple-team members oversee the open house is to ensure that each interested party is catered to while all attendees receive top tier attention and service.
- When only one agent works an open house, people are not greeted by anyone and may not wait around for the agent to come and let them in. People get frustrated and may be tempted to enter the home on their own, never a safe protocol. TPG always goes the extra mile ensuring your open house is memorable and executed with great care and attention to detail; and with no added cost to you.
- Welcoming Satellite commercial free radio music through Bluetooth speakers will greet all visitors, helping to set the tone and put your guests at ease.
- The high quality, pre-packaged snacks and drinks that we offer your guests after the tour help to make people feel very welcome and comfortable. We also believe it helps them to remember your house from the many others they will see that day.
- Our focus at your open house is to professionally showcase your home, keep it safe by using Covid Protocols with more than one team member, and most importantly, “Bring you an Offer. ”Our purpose is to sell your home, not to on look for new clients and that is why we sell over 90% of our listings through open houses.

We always Ensure that the Buyers are Pre-Qualified

We always make a practice of asking the Realtor® writing the offer if the buyer has been totally pre-approved with the lending institution they will be using.

How we Negotiate the Best Terms for You?

We always endeavour to achieve the best price, terms and conditions for you our client(s). This is our duty to you. We will always advocate for you and strive to achieve the best possible terms in the offer. As you know everything in Real Estate Contracts are negotiable so we will not hesitate to provide you with the best advice to handle each offer. Our vast experience tried and true negotiation skills and Masters Negotiating Designation will serve you well.

Did you know that we attend all Inspections to Represent” You” our Seller?

We always make it a point to attend all inspections that the buyer has booked. This way we get to hear what the inspector is saying, point out answers to possible questions and protect you against unreasonable concession requests based on the inspection. We will be your eyes and ears and share all information garnered from the inspection with you once it has been completed. Again, we will ensure that your home is secured, and all lights are off before we leave.

Did you know, we also attend all Home Appraisals as well, to Represent “You” our Seller?

We always make it a point to attend the home appraisal if an onsite appraisal has been ordered. By being at this appointment we can ensure that we be available to answer any questions that the appraiser may have and point out some of the upgrades to them that are not immediately visible. Major updates are certainly something that can influence the value of your home so we will be there to point them out. Updates are the kind of thing that can have a significant bearing on the outcome of the appraisal.

How we are essential during Closing, Adjustments and Possession Date

Once your home has gone to pending our work does not end. We ensure that all of the documentation required by our Brokerage, the Selling Agent, The Lawyers and the Lenders are all kept abreast and updated. Selling a house involves a lot of work; so many little details that must be taken care of. We will be there for you every step of the way and after to provide advice and/or a helping hand whenever needed to lessen your load. Selling a home can be very stressful, but knowing that have a top shelf team in your corner who is taking care of the little details, the burden can be eased substantially. We will make the process easy for you.
