Myth #1

"Discount" brokers can do an adequate job selling real estate.

Truth

A complete marketing campaign is essential to getting the most for your home. Promotional costs like photos, brochures, advertisements, MLS insertion fees, printing, direct mail, directional signs, personal Internet websites, and virtual tours are all paid for by Greetings Virginia. Can the same be said for a "discount" broker? Remember that you only pay us a commission when your property sells successfully; you owe nothing if the Greetings Virginia team of specialists does not get results.

Myth #2

Dan is probably too busy to pay attention to my listing.

Truth

Aren't superior restaurants busy at dinner time? Don't excellent doctors have a heavy patient load? Dan Rochon and Greetings Virginia may have a lot of clients, but they have assembled a top-flight team of specialists to assist with the details. This allows our team members to devote themselves fully to selling your property successfully. Greetings Virginia was built one satisfied client at a time, and word of mouth from satisfied clients is spreading.

Myth #3

I should select a Realtor who says they can get me the highest price.

Truth

This is the oldest scam in real estate: tell the sellers what they want to hear and compliment their homes to get listings. Instead, you should insist on a written, well researched market analysis to determine a realistic price your home will bear in today's market. Then price it accordingly. Select your Realtor based on experience and effectiveness, not empty promises.

Myth #4

My "local" real estate agent knows my neighborhood best and will do the best job.

Truth

The buyer of your home is not likely to be your neighbor. Your "local" real estate agents spend a ton of time and money marketing to you and your neighbors. A full scale team like ours, which markets and prospects to potential buyers (not your neighbors), is much more likely to find a buyer for your home for the most money with the least hassles.

“My house sold very quickly! The contractor that Dan referred me to really helped with turning my house around. He was a master! And he really made the house pristine. Working with Dan and his team was great!” - Dixie

---------------------------------

“I thought Dan and his team did an excellent job! There always seem to be glitches when you start working in something like this, but overall the process went really well. I hired a contractor through Dan and they kept their eye on the place and made sure everything was done as it should’ve been and I was really pleased with that. Dan and his team also cleaned belongings out from the apartment which was really nice. All in all I think they did a great job, I was very happy with the results!” - Nick

---------------------------------

"Working with Dan Rochon and his team was better than I expected. Overall, I had no problems with anything throughout the whole buying process. I can think of a couple times I called with questions around 11 p.m. and they were still available to answer and help me out. I think it’s a great company and I would definitely recommend them!" - Ruben

---------------------------------

"They were fabulous! They helped me out every step of the way and answered all my questions, and also told me things I didn’t even think to ask. I knew I had a small budget for the area I was looking, along with a pretty hefty want list for my budget. But, they were able to find me a house that fit my needs. When the home inspection came back with the house needing a new roof and structural issues, they were able to get the seller to replace both so that I was able to move in with no major concerns."

---------------------------------

"The result was that we ended up having a successful short sale on my home. Although it took almost a year because of the flat market, they hung in there and continued to market the house, and we ended up getting it through."

---------------------------------

"We got a house that I am happy with! They also put me in contact with people to help do repairs once i had bought the house. There was a drainage problem with the house and they helped coordinate with the sellers to prevent further damage and make sure that everything was cleaned up before move in."
