-- Survey of Weichert agents shows they find it beneficial to work for a
full service company --
It should come as no surprise then that as
buyers learn more about the many intricacies involved in a real estate
transaction, they see more value in a full-service solution. In fact, the National Association of Realtors®
(NAR) recently reported that 96 percent of buyers think receiving all services
from a single provider would make the home buying process easier. As a result, NAR has seen a 45 percent
increase in recent years of the number of buyers choosing full service
brokerages.
Given today’s consumer demand for a full
service experience, it’s more important than ever for sales associates to have
the ability to quickly and easily connect clients to a financial representative
right within their own sales office and to be able to provide a host of services
to make moving a smooth process. In a recent
survey of nearly 900 Weichert sales associates, 97 percent of respondents said
they found it beneficial to work for a company that offers a full range of real
estate-related services.
For years, Weichert has offered clients
one-stop shopping under one roof through Weichert Gold Services, the company’s
suite of real estate related services. Among the many home buying services
available to clients are mortgage credit approvals and home financing,
homeowner’s insurance, title insurance and closing services, a home protection
plan, moving services, and an array of home-connection services that cover
every task from
Diane Boschini, a sales associate in Weichert’s
“I’ve found it to be an enormous
benefit to work for a company that offers so many useful services to its
clients, said Boschini. “Throughout many
occasions, I’ve seen mortgage, insurance, and title and closing services
questions come up during the home buying process and it’s been a huge comfort
to know that there are experienced Weichert team members ready with answers and
results.”
Nearly half of the sales associates
surveyed said that they have received business in the past specifically because
they work for a full service real estate company. Those results are likely a
direct result of Weichert’s ongoing commitment to providing sales associates
with the resources to answer all of their clients’ needs – before, during, and
after closing.
“Today’s time-pressured buyers want
convenience and minimal hassle,” said Stephen Adamo, president of Weichert
Financial Services. “The Weichert Gold
Services program is designed to meet this demand and, in doing so, gives our
sales associates a tremendous advantage in the competitive real estate market.”
Kelly Mitchell, sales associate at
Weichert’s
“Clients feel more comfortable working with
a full service company because they feel more protected throughout the entire
process,” said Mitchell. “With the
assurance provided through Weichert’s Gold Service performance guarantee,
buyers know they are in good hands.”
