Scott & Jim – Harcourts Desert Homes

My husband and I decided to list our home in March of 2014 after interviewing a number of brokers. Given that we live in the desert, listing a home in March is really getting towards the end of the season. Plus, there was a two-​year inventory of homes at our listing price; therefore, we really needed to contract with a realtor that had a well-​thought-​out strategy, a team (very important if time is of the essence), and lots of experience, or else our house would be sitting on the market through the summer and get the «stink factor.»
Scott & Jim’s team far, far exceeded our expectations… I could go into great detail, but the bottom line is that our house was on the market for THREE days and we had FOUR offers, three of which were over asking. Given those statistics, one might conclude that the house was underpriced. Not so. As soon as our neighbors saw what our house sold for, three out of the 14 houses in our neighborhood, put their house on the market for the same price per square foot. As of today, none of them have sold, ten months later. I might add that none of them have Scott & Jim as their realtors (SMH).
But the story gets better… after we sell our home in three days, we now have to find a new home in short order. We did, but the sellers were being very, very uncooperative and dragging their feet quite a bit… this allowed my husband and I some time to have second thoughts about the property.
So, two and a half weeks before our house was to close, Scott took me out to look for alternatives. We found an additional two, and my husband and I were able to get an amazing price on our current home, which I love. This would never have happened without Scott negotiating the deal.
I will never list my home with anyone other than Scott, Jim and their team.
