The Austin Advantage

Selling?

Austin creates a brand for each listing. With great experience in marketing – our marketing lead, photographer, and videographer will present your property in a spotlight. This means the most desirable amenities and features that your property offers will be extremely apparent to potential buyers. Many of Austin Kyle Rusert’s listings sell very quickly with low days on market (DOM) and for top dollar, it’s also not uncommon for his listings to have multiple offers.

Austin frequently receives requests to take over listings that went unsold with previous agents, some of which were even listed by previous brokerages for multiple years and did not sell. In recent years, there have been at least 20 listings that did not sell with previous agents that Austin took over.  100% of those listings, since taken over by Austin, are now sold.  Don’t make the mistake of choosing the wrong agent from the beginning, listings that are misrepresented can cause lasting harm to the property’s perceived desirability.

Buyers remember a stale listing and will get the impression that something is wrong with the home.  The listing history will linger on various real estate websites and can cause a property to have a poor reputation in the market.  It takes an immense amount of experience to correct this problem, but please don’t make this mistake from the beginning. We will have discussions upfront about a healthy timeline and how quickly to expect a sale realistically.   

 In addition, several clients have been pleased that their home was featured on major media outlets such as For the Love of Old Houses (3+ million Facebook followers), The Week Publication, TribLive, & The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. We will do a press release when appropriate.
