Get to Know Haifa Khoury CRS,SRES,QSC

The large number of Realtors in San Mateo County means there are a lot of opportunities to pick the wrong Realtor. Making sure you hire a well qualified Realtor to assist you in your home purchase or home sale is more important than ever. Here are some important factors to consider in your Realtor... Does the Realtor know his or her market well? Haifa Khoury and Ruba Kaileh provide expert real estate consultation services. We have an in-depth knowledge of the San Mateo County real estate market and work daily to provide our clients with all pertinent real estate information. Our goal is always to provide the best possible outcome for our clients. Is the Realtor a full time professional? Haifa Khoury and Ruba Kaileh are members of the National Association of Realtors and the California Association of Realtors and also full-time real estate professionals. With the experience of more than 1,000 transactions, Haifa and Ruba have the experience buyers and sellers need and deserve. We are members of the San Mateo County Association of Realtors and we adhere to the Realtor Code Of Ethics. As full-time professionals we know that precise decisions must be made every step of the way that's why the high-pressure sales tactics found elsewhere are not part of our philosophy. We will never seek a rushed sale for the sake of a commission. Is the Realtor being chosen because they are a friend or family member? If so, only choose that Realtor if they have a track record of success. Choosing a family member who lacks elite real estate skills often results in a failed transaction - and leads to hard feelings between friends and family members. Buying and selling real estate is a complicated process and a top Realtor should be hired to protect your investment. Buyers and sellers should ask themselves if they trust a friend or family member to take care of the critical steps in a real estate transaction. If selling, is the Realtor providing you with an inflated property evaluation just to get your home listing? This is commonly known as "buying a listing" and is a tactic used by self-serving agents who are more interested in "getting" your listing than actually "selling" it. Be sure your Realtor has facts to JUSTIFY the suggested list price they provide you. Haifa and Ruba tell the truth even when it hurts. We always communicate with our clients about the ever-changing real estate market and we provide accurate information so our clients can make solid real estate decisions. If you want to learn more about our home seller services, please call us.If selling, will the Realtor properly market your home with outstanding online exposure? A home listing receives the most exposure when it is new on the market, so be sure your home will be available to all buyers who are searching online. Haifa and Ruba are listed on many sites around the world and our homes receive maximum online exposure. We are a member of the RE/Max Referral netwok. Our web site receives 75,000+ web hits each month.If selling, is the Realtor offering a cut-rate commission. You get what you pay for and that may mean simply a sign in the yard and a listing on MLS - and no expert guidance throughout the real estate transaction. The lower the agreed upon commission, the less incentive an agent has to spend his or her money marketing your home. Home Sellers really need to consider the Realtor's negotiating skills and should be concerned about hiring a Realtor who caves when negotiating their own commission. The best Realtors find it easy to explain to Sellers why it is in their best interest to not reduce the commission. You should ask your Realtor that exact question. If they can't tell you, then you should be concerned. There must be enough money included in the commission to properly market the home and to share with a Buyer's Agent. Rather than choosing a Realtor who reduces the commission and then does nothing to market the home, Sellers should look for a Realtor who can explain their value and then go out and properly market the home to the public. If the Realtor you are considering is not able to differentiate themselves from the competition, you are considering the wrong Realtor. Haifa and Ruba will diligently look after your best your interests from beginning to end. If selling, is the Realtor being chosen for the wrong marketing reasons? Open houses can and do sell homes. The problem is, it likely won't be YOUR home. Less than 2% of homes are sold as a result of an open house. The Realtors you see doing open houses are doing so to "prospect" buyers for OTHER homes, since the odds of that person buying your home are minuscule. Using out-of-date marketing techniques such as open houses is not the best use of resources. Haifa and Ruba are much more effective in putting our resources towards the marketing of your home online. We have management software to follow up with prospective online buyers. Our listing photos are clear and a virtual tour is done on every property we list at no cost to the seller. Every bit of our listing marketing is done with the idea of getting buyers to view your home online. An informal poll of buyers who purchased our listings indicates that nearly all of our listings sell after being viewed by the buyer on our web site. Why Choose Haifa and Ruba We are internet savvy.
