SELL YOUR HOUSE now or in the spring??

 
 
11 reasons to Sell Your House during the Holidays instead of waiting till spring.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
11. By selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the Spring when there are traditionally more houses on the market which c...ould ultimately drive prices down. This could mean you sell high and buy low.

10. You can sell now for more money and we will provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year.

9. Even though your house will be on the market, you still have the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days around the Holidays.

8. January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs. Since transfers cannot wait until Spring to buy, you need to be on the market during the Holidays to capture the market.

7. Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons.

6. Buyers have more time to look for a home during the Holidays than they do during a work week.

5. Buyers are more emotional during the Holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price.

4. Houses show better when decorated for the Holidays.

3. When supply goes down it means there is a greater opportunity to capture motivated buyers AND a better sales price for you.

2. Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the Holidays and less competition means more money for you.

And the number one reason why your seller should list during the Holidays …

1. People who look for homes during the Holidays are more serious buyers!

Lauren Cox (right) wins the BOLD Buyer's Agent award

The Grogan Group added another notch to its already impressive belt today, as lead buyer’s agent Lauren Cox won the BOLD Buyer’s Agent award for the Arlington and Southlake branches of Keller Williams Realty.
Cox was the only buyer’s agent to win the presentation award out of 110 agents participating in the BOLD program. Bold is a seven-week training course that conditions agents to adopt mindset exercises, language techniques, business-building strategies and live lead generation activities.
“Lauren has proved once again that she is a rockstar real estate agent,” said Kimberly Grogan, owner of The Grogan Group. “She has really taken BOLD’s teachings to heart. There’s not a doubt in my mind that she can help anyone find their dream home.”
This isn’t the first time Cox has been honored in the past two months.  In October, the buyer’s agent won the Keller Williams Realty – Arlington Spirit Award. The Grogan Group also won the branch’s Million Dollar Club award on the same day.
“I love working with The Grogan Group!” said Cox. “We’re an unstoppable team. Keller Williams has given us the tools we need to help everyone with their real estate goals—regardless of whether our clients are looking to buy or sell a home.”
Cox isn’t the only multiple award winner at The Grogan Group. Kimberly Grogan won the coveted 2012 Keller Williams Realty InternationalRookie of the Year award, along with several other awards, last year.
The Grogan Group is a Keller Williams real estate team that mixes youthful energy with experienced knowhow. The team consists of six dedicated members, including four agents, one executive assistant and one marketing strategist. Together, the team buys and sells homes in Arlington, Dallas, Fort Worth and surrounding areas.

Keller Williams International Rookie of the Year Remembers Past, Looks to Future Real Estate Success


Kimberly Grogan (right) 2012 International Rookie of the Year
Last year, Kimberly Grogan, owner of The Grogan Group, received the coveted 2012 Keller Williams Realty International Rookie of the Year award. Since then, her real estate career has taken off like a rocket.
“Winning the International Rookie of the Year award was my goal for 2012,” said Grogan. “After a year of relentless hard work and determination, I was able to accomplish that goal—and then some.”
In 2012, Grogan beat out 90,000 other Keller Williams agents for the International Rookie of the Year award. That year, she sat on the Rookie Panel for Keller Williams’ Family Reunion and won the Rookie of the Year award for the Texas/New Mexico Region as well as the rookie award for the Keller Williams Realty – Arlington Market Center.
After winning these prestigious awards, Grogan created The Grogan Group, a Keller Williams real estate team that mixes youthful energy with experienced knowhow. The team consists of six dedicated members, including four agents, one executive assistant and one marketing strategist. Together, they buy and sell homes in Arlington, Dallas, Fort Worth and surrounding areas. They'll also win the occasional award from time to time.
“Joining The Grogan Group was one of the best decisions I have ever made,” said Lauren Cox, lead buyer’s agent for The Grogan Group. “Kimberly is an excellent boss, and I get to learn from her every day.”
Kimberly Grogan boasts more than 20 years of real estate investing experience, and she understands that clients are not just looking for a house—they are looking for their home. Her team prides itself on connecting with clients, providing exceptional customer service and using an unstoppable work ethic and drive to serve those who choose to do business with The Grogan Group.
So, what’s next for The Grogan Group? The team has already expanded its services to the entirety of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
“Our goal is to be the no. 1 source for anyone looking to buy or sell a home in North Texas,” said Grogan. “And that’s just what we plan to do.”
