Why Use A Real Estate Agent? Why SouthAustinTeam.com?
A real estate agent acts on your behalf, providing you with advice and guidance. Due to the fast changing market, the data on available listings is not 100% accurate. There are times when you need the most current information about what has sold or is for sale, and the only way to get that is with a real estate agent. We at SouthAustinTeam.com have extensive knowledge of the MLS and other market data resources. In fact, if you are in need of market data information for any reason, we would be happy to help you.
Marketing Expertise/Advertising. SouthAustinTeam.com has years of advertising experience. Specifically, I have about five years of online advertising experience with Citysearch and then ReachLocal, the two major players in online marketing. In both positions, I was responsible for setting up and troubleshooting multi-targeted online advertising campaigns for local business. Graham Cohen, who makes up the other half of SouthAustinTeam.com, has worked for Keller Williams International for the past four years. His job is to train Keller Williams real estate agents on Search Engine Optimization and other online marketing techniques. His trainings have been recognized by real estate authorities such as Realtor.com and samples of his marketing strategies are posted on blogs such as http://grahamcohen.featuredblog.com/ . Together you might say that we are a powerhouse of real estate advertising for the modern era. Not only do we use traditional advertising techniques, such as newspapers and magazines, but we also include online advertising techniques that are innovative and increasingly recognized as the most effective our times (Google, social media, blogs…).

Market Knowledge. A real estate agent has a better understanding of what Buyers can get for their money in the neighborhood they want to buy into. He or she should also have important information about the neighborhoods, schools, shopping, property taxes and demographics. For Sellers, these details are equally important, as they affect the value and marketability of a home. As the name suggests, we at SouthAustinTeam.com specialize in the properties in the South Austin area (including downtown); however, we are able to help you with all your real estate needs.
Negotiation & Closing Assistance. A real estate agent can provide advice to both Buyers and Sellers about whether to accept or modify an offer or counter-offer. Once an offer has been accepted, the real estate agent may arrange for a home inspector, title search and real estate attorney, as well as ensure that all repairs and stipulations in the contract are complete. We at SouthAustinTeam.com have the knowledge and needed network to help you get what you want from your real estate transaction.
