REO San Diego

Attn: REO Manager for San Diego County

At the Gary Kent Team and REO-SanDiego.com, our goal is to make your job—and your life—easier.
Whether you’re managing one or 100 properties, we know you’ve got plenty on your plate. With our experience and organization, you won’t need to baby-sit us. We will get your REOs closed asap, the way you want it, smoothly and professionally, for the best price obtainable in your preferred time frame.

The Gary Kent Team will handle your REO business professionally. You can depend on it.

We Do All The Basics, And More

We know what you need. Here’s just some of what we’ll do for you…

  1. We work your way, in your system
  2. Fast, accurate BPOs
  3. Occupancy report
  4. Evictions, cash-for-keys, lockouts
  5. Quick secure & re-key
  6. Fast trashout, cleaning, rehab
  7. Dependable contractors & Handymen
  8. Weekly inspections
  9. Ongoing property & grounds maintenance
  10. Regular progress reports

Summary Of The Information That Follows

The following pages go into detail on what most REO managers want to know about their Realtor®. Let me summarize seven key points here:

1. REO Experience, Track Record, Results: The all-time #1 agent-team in San Diego; 22 years experience; 3100+ sales for over $½ billion.

2. Prompt Service: Time is of the essence. A standing inventory of REOs does you, your firm, and us no good. We get things done quickly to speed the process and get your REOs closed and off the books. STAT: My clients’ properties sell two weeks faster than the local average.

3. Expert Advice: We know we’re your “eyes and ears” and you depend on us for smart advice to get your REO’s sold smoothly and quickly. You won’t be disappointed.

4. Buyer-Agent Team: Our 12 buyer agents help us sell your REO fast. We personally introduce a remarkable 40% of eventual buyers to our listings.

5. Tracking The Transaction & Handling Those Little Challenges: We’re experts in following up on all the details (and the other agent, the lender, etc.) so your escrow closes smoothly and on time. And after doing this 22 years, we know how to solve problems so your escrow closes.

6. Repeat & Referral-Based Business: We not only want to sell your property for you, we want to impress you so we stay at the top of your Realtor list for all your REOs. We will never take your business and your loyalty for granted.

7. Insurance Policy: You may end our agreement at no cost any time prior to finding a buyer. That eliminates the risk of being locked in for months with an under-performing agent.

Marketing Campaign For Your REO

I personally spend $17,000 per month marketing (more than most agents spend in a year!) The result is on average my clients’ homes sell 2% closer to list price and 2 weeks faster than others. While some agents try to impress you with flashy but ineffective advertising, we use efficient and effective, proven and tested marketing …that actually gets your home or property SOLD:

Early Stages

– Quick BPOs with digital photos
– Occupancy report

Securing The Property

– Assist you with evictions
– Secure the property and re-key

Repairs, Preparation, & Staging

– Trash-out
– Emailed digital photos of needed repairs
– Advise you on needed repairs and obtain competitive bids from reputable tradesmen
– Supervise needed repair work
– Arrange to have the property professionally staged to speed up market time

Pricing

– Honest, expert advice on the property’s value and optimum list price.

Signage

– Install attractive For Sale sign with brochure box

Showings & Open Houses

– Show to our prospective clients – we represent the buyer on 31% of our listings vs the industry average of 15%, and we introduce the buyer to our listings 40% of the time.
– Regular open houses, when effective (unless you decline)

Print Advertising

– Professional full-color brochures with multiple photographs
– Weekend in-line classified ads Union-Tribune – continuous until sold
– Print ads in Harmon Homes, HouseTrader, and/or other media

Extensive Web Marketing

The Gary Kent Team & and YOU

The Gary Kent Team is a 20-person professional real estate group in La Jolla, next to I-5 and the Golden Triangle. They are the All-Time #1 Agent-team in San Diego County.

 

Benefits To You Of Using Our Unique “Real Estate Firm Within A Firm”

Imagine two football teams: Team #1 has players who do as they wish, running in different directions, fighting each other for the ball, no one blocking. On Team #2, they work from one playbook, each specializing in one position for the good of the team. Who’ll win more games?

The traditional office is like team #1, individual agents all running their own mini-businesses, working hard to look after their own clients, but not working as a cohesive team. Sally doesn’t care if John lists a home for sale—she’s busy serving her own clients.

My innovative “firm within a firm” is like Team #2. We all work together in specialized roles for the good of the client: you. Instead of “jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none”, you benefit from specialists who focus on only one thing. A “buyer-specialist” helps you buy, the “seller-specialist” (Gary) helps you sell, a “closing specialist” handles the details of closing your transaction, etc. With all these professionals working together for you, it’s amazing what happens.
