Mike has been applying for an engineer position for months and finally got the call from an aerospace company while making dinner in his Seattle home. He accepted a job offer with the firm in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina and is moving in 10 days.
The moment for he and wife Kelly* is both exciting and daunting.
There is so much to think about. Among the top items on the rapidly expanding to-do list is to put their home on the market with a real estate broker who can earn top dollar while, if possible, selling it fast to convert net proceeds into a new-home purchase on the East coast.
What Mike and Kelly didn’t realize was that their Seattle-area broker can help with both ends of the home transaction – and much more. Their broker works for John L. Scott Real Estate, which is affiliated with the largest network of agencies across the country and around the world – a breakthrough moment for them.
Within days of accepting the job, Mike and Kelly are packing up and heading out while their broker is helping to coordinate cleaning, some small repairs and home-staging in preparation of marketing and selling their Seattle-area home.
In addition, Mike and Kelly have been connected by their broker to John L. Scott’s Certified Relocation Residential team of specialists to manage many facets of the sale and new-home search. The Relocation team works with the couple to determine their home needs in North Carolina, finding the right neighborhood, schools and anything else that’s important to them.
John L. Scott is a founding member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (or LeadingRE), a market-leading network of more than 500 brokerages across the U.S. and in 65 countries around the world. LeadingRE carefully vets every brokerage before joining the global network of agencies. Clients working with John L. Scott and LeadingRE know they will be taken care of at both ends of the map and with all parts of the home sale and search.
The affiliation with LeadingRE means Mike and Kelly can be assured the quality and professionalism of their Seattle-based broker will have the same high standards in North Carolina. That’s peace of mind amid a potentially stressful time.
