A lot of people ask. Why do I need to pay a commission? Why can’t I just sell the home by myself? The truth is that most people can in fact sell their own house. But it’s almost always for less than they could have gotten and most importantly, once they have a deal, it’s very difficult to keep every last detail together till closing. That’s where experience and knowledge of the industry are both vital. As a realtor, and having access to the MLS, I can develop a strategy that you really can’t do by yourself. The bottom line is that I can get you more money for your house than you can by yourself, even with the commission you pay.

My marketing plan is one based on a lot of hard work and the fact that we’re partners in this process. Five years from now you’re not going to say, “Oh, yeah, I remember that realtor. He had that 75 point marketing plan that he used to sell my house. ”You’re going to say, “My realtor is Jim Minkey. He still stays in touch with me and I refer him to lots of people because he really cared about me and he worked hard to get my house sold for a great price.“
