2M Realty Enters Houston Real Estate Market in Spite of Market Downturn

2M Realty™ is the new kid on the block and is out to make a difference. They began offering services in January 2009, in the midst of a downturn in the Houston real estate market. In a very short time, they have established a presence that rivals other firms that have been around for years. They are an independent firm with a no-franchise attitude and strongly believe that homeowners should List Local to Sell Strong.

"When viewing listings in the MLS, I am always surprised to see properties listed by agents on the opposite side of town. I suppose kudos is due that agent for getting the listing, but how can they effectively service the listing if they are on the opposite side of Houston? They are geographically limited on how they can respond to the seller's needs and to buyer inquiries," said principal broker Mark Martin. "Selling real estate requires far more than putting it in the Houston MLS. We believe it requires a partnership between the seller and the listing agent, and it is the agent's duty to educate, inform and be present for the seller during the entire sales process. This includes establishing a sales price that is aligned with the local market; guiding the seller on preparing the property or home for sale; assisting in staging the property or home; giving the listing sufficient exposure in the local market; and, diligently advising the seller during negotiations and contracts. We consider this our commitment to the seller, whereas it is a trend of many of the mass-produced franchise agents to consider that kind of service to be too much work."... (Continue reading)
