Today I want to answer a question that I get asked a lot: “Jeff, there are 3,000 real estate agents in this town. Why should I pick you?” There are three answers I can provide:

1. I’m a highly experienced professional. Everybody knows that the market is hot right now. When that happens, a lot of people get into real estate. The person that changed the tires on your car last month could be your Realtor tomorrow. The person you’re interviewing right now to handle your largest financial asset could also have a part-time job at Dillard’s.

You have to make sure the person you hire is a full-time, committed professional. I’ve been doing this for more than 15 years and have sold more than 1,000 homes. There are very few scenarios I haven’t seen. This is important because I can predict any issues in advance so we can eliminate them and make your transaction as smooth as possible. The market has changed a lot in those 15 years—it’s gone up, then down, and now it’s back up again. It’s changed, and so have I.

My experience, my team’s flexibility, and the company I work for will get you the results you’re looking for.

2. My common sense listing system. A lot of Realtors put you in the same system but my team has got a lot of flexibility. We offer flexible commissions and the right to sell your house by yourself while it’s listed with me and pay nothing. After all the advertising we do and the buyers we bring to your house, you still have the option to fire me. I don’t think you’re going to do that though, and that’s because of reason No. 3.

3. The results we get. The team I have and the company I work for will get you better results and provide you with better service, period. RE/MAX Properties is the No. 1 company in town. Since 1989, they’ve sold more homes than any other company. Right now, one out of every six houses in this city is listed with us.

These are factors you should look for in any agent you hire, but my experience, my team’s flexibility, and the company I work for will get you the results you want. Whether you’re thinking about selling or buying a house, feel free to call me or send me an email. I’d be happy to assist you and get you the results you’re looking for.

Beth - "I moved to Colorado in the middle of September. We decided to bring my son in law down there to make sure he wanted to live there. We looked around and saw his name on a house. We called about it and we moved in like a month later. He is great, he was always friendly and calls often to see how we are doing. He always sends stuff in the mail for free dinners and stuff like that. He is the best. He is so sweet and kind, and he tells you the truth. That is the main thing I like."

Diane - "We both bought and sold a home with Jeff Ryder. When I first contacted him, he made an appointment right away and came over. He was able to sell my house in a week and half! The buyers wanted to move in right away so I told Jeff what I was looking for and he showed me a condo that I liked and ended up buying. I was anxious to make a full price offer on it, but he suggested that we wait until he was able to get comps from the neighborhood. He put in an offer that was less than what I was willing to pay for it which showed a lot of integrity on his part because his commission could have been more."

Kristin - "He had reached out and our house was under contract and that contract expired before it sold. He had reached out, I was happy with the terms of the contract, and felt confident going forward with him. Also, he was successful in selling it. His assistant was excellent, took care of all the different aspects, closing, they were very responsive and easy to work with for sure. As a team they were great! He is responsive, trustworthy, knows how to showcase a house in the right way and also very effective."

The Marchs - "We discussed pricing and marketing conditions and then Jeff came up with a sell-able price which we were happy with. We sold it in 6 weeks and before we had it with Jeff, it was on the market for 2 years so he did really well! We was particularly impressed with his team and we saw Jeff in every aspect of the transaction. It just speaks to his good management skills!"
