Buyer Service Agreements

If you already have an exclusive Buyer Service Agreement or exclusive agency agreement with another brokerage, Think Real Estate generally cannot represent you on a purchase because of professional ethical rules. If your situation changes in the future and you are no longer under an exclusive agreement, you are welcome to contact Think Real Estate for assistance.

Think Real Estate works with homeowners in Portland and the surrounding areas to sell their properties with as little stress as possible.

Approach to selling

• Recognize that every property and seller situation is unique
• Listen closely to your goals, timeline, and constraints
• Provide professional advice on where to spend or save money in the pre-listing stage
• Help you time the sale for the best possible outcome given current market conditions
• Expand exposure for your home through online and in-person marketing efforts
• Apply strong negotiation skills throughout the offer, inspection, and closing process

Results compared with discount firms

Some sellers consider iBuyer websites or discount brokerages because they appear convenient. Think Real Estate emphasizes that these options can sometimes reduce your net proceeds.

Based on the brokerage's experience, Think Real Estate reports that it routinely outperforms discount firms and iBuyer-style options in:

• Sold price to list price ratio
• Total days on market
• Overall market share

Individual results vary from sale to sale, and no particular outcome is guaranteed, but the brokerage focuses on data-driven pricing, effective marketing, and skilled negotiation to help you reach your goals.

Getting started

If you are thinking about selling, you can contact Think Real Estate to discuss your property, timing, and goals. An agent can walk you through the process, recommend preparations, and outline a tailored marketing and pricing strategy for your home.
