What is your biggest fear when you list your home with a real estate agent? It’s simple. You would be afraid of being locked into a lengthy listing agreement with a less than competent real estate agent costing your home valuable time and exposure on the market. Well, worry no more. Mike takes the fear out of listing with a real estate agent. How? Through his “Easy Exit Listing Agreement”, you can cancel your listing with Mike at anytime under the terms of his “Easy Exit Listing Agreement’ addendum/clause. You can cancel your listing agreement at anytime. You can relax knowing you will not be locked into a lengthy contract and you will enjoy the caliber of service confident enough to make this offer.
When it comes to selling homes, Mike Hutchison knows things other agents simply do not know. Mike understands the critical factors unknown by the vast majority of agents that if left unaddressed will keep a home from selling! Mike utilizes powerful cutting edge techniques such as “Zero & Five Pricing”, “Position Pricing”, “Incremental Adjusting” and “Reverse Offers” to sell his clients homes for the most money the market will bring! Mike is also an expert at helping homeowners prepare and position their homes so that their properties emotionally attract the buyers who will pay the most for their homes!
Technology and the increased availability of information on the internet have changed the way that we shop for goods and services. What has not changed is the importance of Trust. In fact, it can be more important than ever. In trusting your family's home sale to Mike, you can be confident you will receive the most professional service available as well as join a long list of clients who rave about the sort of old-fashioned personal attention that sets Mike apart from the average Realtor. As a top individual producer with REMAX, Mike values his clients too much to hand them off to a team of “assistants”. Mike’s philosophy is that you are entitled to work directly with the real estate agent you’ve carefully chosen to meet your needs. Mike is at your service throughout the entire process!

One More Warning: Do not be fooled by the various Guaranteed Sale Programs offered by other agents! It never ceases to amaze Mike that so many homes expire without a sale while listed with agents who offered some type of Guaranteed Sale Program. In fact, you would be amazed at how few homes these agents actually end up buying from their homeowners. Why do so few homeowners agree to participate in their agents guaranteed sale program? It’s simple, because it is not in their best interest to sell their home for a fraction of the true market value! The truth is, the Guaranteed Sale Program is a gimmick to get listings. These agents know that they will end up having to buy very few homes once their sellers realize how little they would be giving their home away for! And of course if you are foolish enough to let them buy your home for such a low price, what have they lost? Now when Mike went to real estate school 17 years ago, he was taught that a listing agents duty was to look out for the best interests of his or her client! He assumes that includes not trying to take advantage of you by offering to buy your home for a fraction of its real value! Mike’s goal will be to sell your home for the highest price the market will bring!
