Winston Salem | Putting a Value on Service to Others

Personal Philosophy

There is a quote that I love and try to live by:  “It’s easy to make a buck.  It’s a lot tougher to make a difference.” – Tom Brokaw

I have been in the business of educating and serving others throughout my business career.     Before starting my career in Real Estate, I was a consultant in the business of IT (computer software).  I spent a lot of time on the road helping companies and their staff learn new technologies.   I did this from the standpoint of teaching classes as well as working 1 on 1.   I found this to be very rewarding as I could tell when the lightbulb went off and found you could actually teach an old dog new tricks.   It was fun until the travel got too much.

I approached my new career in the same way.   I try to keep my knowledge up to date and guide all my Real Estate clients the same way I guided people in my prior career.

Some believe Real Estate is easy.   I can tell you from having 2 careers serving others, there is nothing easy about Real Estate.  Transactions can have bumps at every step from contract to close.   I pride myself in being the problem solver and giving my clients the best service possible.

As I live by the quote above, contrary to how some think about Brokers, this has never been about how much money I make.  This is about getting my clients the best transaction possible and having someone thank me for my service.

I Do Not Need An Experienced Real Estate Broker in Winston Salem?

 

I don't really need an experienced Realtor. I can just hire a friend?

Would you hire a law student to represent you in monetary litigation or hire an experienced lawyer that is an expert in the field?

I have a client that told me they had a friend that just got their license and they wanted to give them a chance to sell their home.   Have you heard this before?   

In this case, things fell apart when the inexperienced agent was verbally negotiating on his behalf.  Both parties seemingly had a deal worked out and the buyers went out of town for a long weekend. No due diligence was collected because a promise was made by the buyer's agent.  In the seller's mind his home was sold and he was moving forward with his plans.   His agent was telling people it was sold and interested buyers moved on.   Low and behold, buyers came back and changed their minds.   Numerous opportunities were lost as well as valuable time.   

An inexperienced agent keeps the facts below in mind at all times and is diligent throughout the transaction.   

Negotiations leading to a contract can be fast-paced, to the extent that brokers find themselves communicating offers and counter-offers, as well as acceptances, orally. An example of such a situation occurs when an oral counter-offer is communicated to the buyers, who orally agree to the new terms. The acceptance is orally relayed to the sellers, who now mistakenly think they have a valid contract.

The Statute of Frauds requires that all contracts for the sale of land or for lease agreements exceeding three years be in writing and signed by the parties to be enforceable. In order for a valid contract to exist, all negotiated terms must be in writing and signed by the parties. Any changes must also be in writing and initialed by the parties.

A broker can best keep his or her clients informed of all communications material to negotiations between the parties by ensuring that offers, counter-offers, and acceptances are in writing and contain all necessary signatures. Oral agreements for the sale of real property are not binding.

Winston Salem | 4 Tips for Boosting Your Home’s Curb Appeal

 

Great tips from Roby Robertson 

Courteous: 
NC Association of Realtors!

An old saying has it that “your first impression is your last impression.” In no arena is this quip more accurate than in the real estate market. Visitors would be wary of entering a sketchy house, and potential buyers would be reluctant to even come after seeing photos of an ugly home. Whether you are selling your residence or simply want to have the most attractive house on the block, these tips for boosting your home’s curb appeal are sure to improve both your property’s look and value.

Tip 1: Keep it clean!

So much attention is generally given to cleaning a house’s interior that homeowners often forget that its exterior is seen by more people and carries just as much weight. A trim and proper yard, for example, does wonders to make your home more approachable. Mow the lawn, remove overbearing weeds, and prevent the accumulation of unseemly lawn items. The house itself should also be effectively maintained. To make worn, aged houses look brand new again, consider pressure washing the exterior to remove decades of accumulated dirt and mold.

Tip 2: Vibrant Colors

In addition to general cleanliness, houses with curb appeal need appealing color schemes. Houses with drab and dull colors give off a sterile and even gloomy atmosphere. In contrast, those with lush and vibrant color schemes radiate warmth and life. It helps to update your paint job if the color has faded or is simply unattractive. A fresh coat of paint is not the only way to brighten your home’s color palette. Gardens, plants, and trees add a burst of natural color to your home and a rich look sure to captivate guests and potential buyers.

Tip 3: Seasonal Decorations

A well-maintained, colorful residence has a lot going for it, but keeping it up to date with the season provides curb appeal by adding timeliness and personality. During the summer months of June and July, displaying an American flag is an appropriate way to celebrate Memorial Day and Independence Day and give your home a patriotic edge. In the fall, pumpkins and leaves provide a dash of autumnal festivity. The winter months, abundant with holidays, enjoy tons of possibilities—from Christmas lights, to snowmen, and wreaths. The springtime is sure to make your yard’s floral decorations stand out, so be sure to keep them beautiful.

Tip 4: Don’t forget the seemingly-innocuous factors

Though they are often overlooked, the seemingly minor elements of a home’s exterior can greatly improve your home’s curb appeal. For example, almost no owner thinks very much about their house numbers. But personalized house numbers can add character or distinction to your home. Other more under-the-radar factors which can bolster a house’s curb appeal are driveways and garage doors. Ensure that your driveway is well-maintained by removing grass growing in cracks and repairing damaged portions of concrete. Garage doors take up a lot of your property’s space and have a commanding presence, so keeping them classy through routine paint jobs and cleaning off grime can greatly enhance your house’s image.

 

Improving your home’s curb appeal improves both the financial value of your property as well as its visual appeal. Though these tips are by no means exhaustive, they will serve as great starting points for you as you work to make your house the standout of the neighborhood!

Exceptional service

Roby managed an invest property of ours for approximately 10 years. His service and professionalism were second to none.  Roby kept me Informed whenever a situation would arise and had connections for any and every repair needed.  Over the years, such trust was earned, I gave Roby the "green light" to move forward with whatever was needed.  His repair connections were as reasonable as any I could have found, minus the leg work.  Last year we decided to sale the property.  Of course, Roby was my listing agent.  Flawless execution on his part.  

Ethical and trustworthy are two words to describe  Roby.

You can't go wrong with Roby.
