“We know a thing or two, because we have seen a thing or two!” If that sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the tagline in the Farmers Insurance commercials. You know, the ones that show some type of catastrophe – like the dog that burns down the house after grabbing a piece of pizza off the stove. The actor at the end of the commercial says, “Yep, it happened October 1992 and we were there to cover it!” The point of the commercial is that bad things are going to happen in life and Farmers has seen them all. The commercial leads you to believe they are experts in disasters and their insurance coverage will protect you in all that COULD happen.
This has been a very successful campaign for Farmers, and I wish I had thought of it because it’s the exact message we at The Hawaii Team try to convey to clients and future clients. We literally have thousands of transactions under our belt over a combined 25 years of selling residential real estate in three states. We have definitely seen a thing or two over those years. Better yet, we know a thing or two about protecting your best interests when it comes to the most important and expensive purchase of your life. It’s this vast knowledge and experience which will help you get the home of your dreams, while navigating all the obstacles which come up during the process. We are always urging consumers to use seasoned professionals like us for their real estate transactions, because we can make a huge difference.
I wish there was enough room in this article to explain all the ways we have helped people over the years. From getting something fixed in a house at the 11th hour so we could make it to the closing table, to saving people hundreds of thousands of dollars, to just flat-out fixing problems that no one else could (and I am not overstating this).
I understand many people are skeptical of Realtors, and many people feel they no longer bring value. I can honestly say we earn our professional fees every day, one transaction at a time. If that sounds like another slogan to you, then I would urge you to meet with us. It doesn’t cost you anything to explore whether we bring value. If we do, then we can do business together and if we don’t, then you have lost nothing. I’m betting we’ll do business together.
