RE/MAX Integrity

Websites:

• http://www.corybrandt.com

Sellers - I'll get it sold. An unrivaled marketing plan, integrity, contract knowledge, and years of negotiating experience help insure you not only see measurable results...but that we maximize your return.

Buyers & Investors - I help sniff out the best value, and the best fit. As a full time agent, experienced investor, and northwest native I know the areas, the values, and the process. My client's love me because they know that I treat their money as if it were my own. I act as a guide rather than a salesman. I share my knowledge and insight and I'm not afraid to tell you to walk away if I don't think it is the right house. I need you to be a raving fan...because that is how my business is built.

Important Differences - I spent 10 years managing projects and designing products as an Engineer. I've remodeled numerous homes, owned numerous rentals, built from the ground up, sold multi-unit complexes, and even developed vacant land. I'm not your typical Realtor... I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge, combined with an attention to detail that helps protect you...and that is important.

We keep it fun - I have a little twist to my sense of humor...and occasionally this business can be very entertaining. I know...some of you hear that I used to be an engineer and you think...NO WAY...I can't see driving around with him. For those of you that are engineers...sorry...but you know it's true... It is important that we get it right...but that doesn't mean it can't be fun.

I want you - I want your business...I want your referrals. To get those you have to be impressed enough to tell your friends. To me it isn't just about selling you a house...it is about making it the right house. I need you as a raving fan so that my business can continue to grow. 90% of my business comes via referral...so your impression is critical to my future.

Status - I'm not big on awards...I'm more into making sure each client gets the best. But the awards and training help show who is doing the business...so here is a quick snapshot. For RE/MAX in a four state region I am consistently ranked in the Top 50 agents for the year...yet when you call you get me...not an assistant. I was inducted into the RE/MAX Hall of Fame in 2007, was presenter early in my career as an agent to watch when I was with Windermere at their symposium. I am an Associate Broker, Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), and Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR). I meet with top agents from all over the country every year to further hone my skills. I think I bring a lot to the table...I believe I am the best choice, but I do listen...some of my best marketing ideas have come directly from my clients...

Where I work - King & Southern Snohomish County. My office is on the eastside, but I grew up in Seattle, owned numerous properties there, and know it like the back of my hand. Working both side of the lake as an obvious advantage for people new to the area...but it is also a great negotiating benefit. Seattle tends to set the early market trend and historically Seattle agents do business differently (working via handshake versus fax machine). Blending the styles and knowledge makes me a better agent regardless of which side of the lake I am on. Plus I have a broader base of colleagues to draw from to market your home to, or to find out about homes coming on the market. And...I love character and challenges of the older Seattle homes.

I want you as a client - don't hesitate to call.

Get results. People walk away happy...they know I am watching out for their best interest.

Buyers - If I think a house is a poor decision you're going to know it. I don't want you making the wrong call...if you're moving in a few years it won't be because I failed to put you in the right home.

Sellers - Measureable returns... The market is tougher now than it used to be...now more than ever you need an experienced guide that has the marketing and gets results.

Sellers who want results.

Buyers who want integrity, knowledge, and a trusted advocate.

Investors who want rentals, developable properties, buy and hold options, etc.
