Success Story - Marentette
We listed with another real estate company for 11 months and I think they may have had one showing in all that time. I thought this was due to the housing market and bad economy. Our daughter had sold a house through Dewayne and also bought a house recently through him and kept urging us to switch our listing to Dewayne. Again, I thought no houses were probably selling in our area so didn't take her advice at first. Also the home we were selling was on a lake, and probably considered more of a second home than a principal residence. Who other than the very rich would be looking for a second home in this economy?
Feeling more desperate by this past June, we did call Dewayne and listed with him the end of June. We had already been advised that he was a real go getter and didn't sit back and wait for the buyers to come to him-he advertises Everywhere and really does his job to the max. Almost immediately he had more showings for us than the last realtor did!
In October Dewayne performed a feat that still stuns me today. The Today Show on NBC was doing a real estate segment on homes around the country and they apparently visited Dewayne's website and he convinced them to showcase our home on their show! We were thrilled when we saw the show because it was an extensive talk and lots of pictures-I thought it might be just a quick showing. A few hours later someone looked at the house, a few hours after that we had an offer!!!
We recently closed on this sale & as I said previously, I'm still in shock. Truly unbelievable and we are forever grateful to Dewayne for selling our lakefront house in these economic conditions.
I was also very impressed with the amount of pictures and the descriptions he put on his website. Our former agent only put a few pictures on his site, and I had to ask him about listing at places such as craigslist. Dewayne does these and many more listings without being asked, just standard procedure.
I've gone on quite a bit here, but I can't help it-we are so happy, relieved and extremely impressed with Dewayne's work and will definitely recommend him to anyone we know that is looking to list a property or buy.
Thank you so much Dewayne, sorry if you're blushing, but you are the best at your job!!!
Sincerely,
Mark & Mary Marentette
