Role of the Listing Agent

WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND - THIS IS OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

With the technologies available today many home sellers think they can sell their home online. Who needs a listing agent anyway? The answer is EVERYONE who wants to ensure their interests are being protected and they get the best value for their home.

At The Moore Group, we understand that selling a home can be complex,  stressful, and sometimes an emotional experience, especially if you are a first-time seller. That's why we work hard to make the PROCESS as smooth and stress-free as possible.  Before we list your home we strive to understand everything about your properties and your goals. Researching comps, establishing value, preparing and negotiating contracts, researching permits, negotiating inspections, and closely following the closing process through to the day we deliver the keys are just a few of the tasks. 

Below is a list of over 100 things we do on behalf of our sellers to protect their interests. Our goal is to provide you with the HIGHEST LEVEL OF SERVICE and earn your trust.   Our past sellers will tell you why they recommend us to their family and friends.
