The Right Real Estate Agent

To Sell Your Home Faster And For A Higher Price

What Qualities Are You Looking For In A Real Estate Agent?

Selling your home can be a busy, stressful time. That’s why it’s important to choose the right Real Estate Agent who…

Helps you with all the details and guides you step-by-step to ensure a smooth, speedy, successful sale
Tells you the truth about what your home is worth and how long it will take to sell — based on real facts about recent sales in your street and suburb, and not a sales pitch designed to get you to sign with them
Shows you inexpensive improvements that add thousands to the value of your home (and refer you to trusted tradies who can do the work for you)
Promotes your home to their huge, internal database of potential buyers for a faster sale
Uses Ethical Solutions-Based Selling to help potential buyers experience and value the features and benefits of your home
Sells your home – fast and for the highest price possible – without the headaches and hassles so many home sellers suffer.

There’s no shortage of Real Estate Agents in every suburb. But if you (or somebody you know) has ever bought or sold a home, you know that finding an agent with the qualities listed above, is not always easy.

Common Complaints About the Real Estate Industry You Need To Know Before You Choose Your Agent

The stereotype of a typical Real Estate Agent in Australia is not very flattering. Naturally, it’s an exaggeration. But where there’s smoke, there’s generally fire. And there must be a reason Real Estate is (again) one of the lowest rated professions in the Roy Morgan Image of Professions Survey 2017 — only slightly more regarded than car salesmen and people in advertising.

Complaints range from…

Overquoting: Telling you your house is worth more in order to get the listing, and then pressuring you to drop your price when it doesn’t sell
Underquoting: Lying about the price or condition of your home in advertising to attract potential buyers who pull out when they discover the truth (leaving your home languishing on the market)
Complicated Contracts: Hiding clauses in contracts that ‘trick’ you into committing more than you realise, and telling you that you don’t need to get it checked by a lawyer
Unlicensed Thief: Operating without a license and even misappropriating trust money.

Behaviour like this is unacceptable – in any industry. Keep reading to see how the team at Zevesto does things differently.

Some Of The Ways Zevesto Is Different

(And A Better Choice To Sell Your Home)

In an industry dominated by the stereo-typical salesperson, Zevesto is very different.

Here are some of the things we do to get you a faster sale and higher price, without all the headaches and hassles so many home sellers suffer:

Extra-Mile, No-Compromise Attitude
The laid-back Aussie lifestyle we all love works perfectly in our private lives. But when it comes to professional services, it leads to frustration, mistakes and missed opportunities that cost time and money. When the team at Zevesto ‘suit up’, we are committed to excellence. And we have a proven systems to deliver – every time.

Faster Sales Through Internal Marketing
With our database of buyers and sellers, we often get offers for properties within hours – without any advertising. Not only does this enable us to sell properties faster, it gives us valuable ‘private’ feedback from the market before we launch a campaign ‘publicly’, helping us to highlight features that fetch a higher price.

Capitalising On Fast Starts
The first 10 days are the most important when selling your house because that’s the best time to attract new buyers. While many agencies miss this by listing properties without proper photos, description and pricing details, we follow a proven process to hit the ground running with a strong campaign from day #1.

More Effective, More Ethical Sales Process
When other agents tell you that they are a ‘top negotiator’, it probably means they have attended a weekend course on sales tactics. We don’t stand for that in our office. Instead, we train our agents in Ethical Solutions-Based Selling that helps prospective buyers sell themselves on buying your home.

Maximising Value
We’ve all watched TV renovation shows and marvelled at the transformations. But what about the cost? Oftentimes it’s just not worth the money and effort. We’ll show you simple, affordable things you can do to sell your home faster and get back thousands more than you spend.

No-Fuss Inspections
Open House Inspections can work wonders. But they can also be a nightmare for sellers who have to keep their home clean week after week. Plus, there’s that awkward feeling of having strangers traipse through your home. Our strategy of Virtual Tours leads to fewer Open House Inspections with better results.

Guaranteed Sale
We promise performance and therefore think we should only be paid on performance. So, our contract with you is simple: No sale, no fee. That way you can be sure you get the results you want.

"Rob Ford is a credit to the real estate industry"

Dear Rob,

It is with sincere gratitude that I write this testimonial to you.

Buying and selling real estate is financially one of the biggest decisions we have to make.

In my case it was a change in personal circumstances that I decided to sell the three investment units in Queensland.

Living interstate I have often received promotional letters from various real estate companies requiring properties for listing and yours arrived at the time I had made the decision to sell.

Each of the three units have their own story.

The first sold within two days and the second sold quickly as well, and the third has now sold after a few setbacks due to termite damage.

The process of selling these units has not been straight forward as you have had to deal with the onsite manager, a person who has tried to make everything as difficult as possible and by his own words “would not co-operate in any way”.

You have, at each step of the transactions kept me informed and guided me through the necessary paperwork. Thank you for being patient with me and making yourself available to answer the many questions I put to you.

At the time my situation with the onsite manager became untenable, your support was very much appreciated and the professional way in which you took over the management of the unit was such a relief.

To the person who is reading this I can say that Rob Ford is a credit to the real estate industry. He was honest in his valuation of the properties and has been able to sell them at the contracted price.
At all times he has been friendly, polite and confident in meeting the challenges (of which there were many) that were put before him.

Rob, I know you will be a success because of your commitment and professional conduct and I wish you well.

Carpe Diem

"Prompt, polite and nothing is a bother"

We first spoke with Progress Properties in November 2011 before we visited Brisbane.

In early 2012, they made contact to see how we were going with our search for an investment property then offered us an opportunity to speak with Brett Devenish, explaining his role with the company.

We first met with Brett on 27 March, 2012 where he explained how they could help us with a property portfolio. Brett collated the financial information required and advised he would be in touch soon with a property of interest to suit us.

Brett made a further appointment time on 24 April, 2012 to discuss a particular property which he left with us to discuss and decide if we would be interested. As we were not familiar with Brisbane suburbs they offered to fly us to Brisbane and show us the area and the property. True to their word we were on a plane on 16 May, 2012 where we were met and taken around the area and to inspect the property. It was also arranged for us to meet with Robert Ford to speak about the NRAS properties. All in all we found this day was what we needed and confirmed everything we had been hearing to date.

We are now in the process of settling this property after Brett and Adrian have done a great deal of hard work to keep both seller and purchaser happy. Once settled we will be leaving it with Progress Properties to manage the rental side as well.

To date they have looked after us and we cannot fault them, so far everything they offered they have delivered. Along with that they are very prompt, polite and nothing is a bother to them, particularly as we are purchasing interstate and things can differ so I have needed extra assistance to ensure everything goes smoothly.

We have already sent them a referral and would consider doing this again in the future.
