Top 6 Services Sellers Want

  1. Access to Active and Sold Data

    Sellers want transparency. Access to up-to-date market stats and recent sales in their area helps them price confidently and realistically.
  2. A Comprehensive Pre-Listing Packet

    A well-prepared listing packet covering market trends, the agent’s qualifications, and an outline of the sales process allows sellers to do their due diligence with clarity and confidence.
  3. A Proven Pricing & Marketing Strategy

    No seller wants to leave money on the table. A pricing strategy that yields predictable results — combined with aggressive, data-driven marketing — is a must.
  4. A Proactive, Trusted Agent

    Trust is everything. Sellers want a competent real estate professional who not only understands the market but proactively advocates for their goals at every step.
  5. A Smooth, Surprise-Free Transaction

    Timely closings and minimal surprises make for happy sellers. Clear communication and contingency planning go a long way in DC’s fast-paced market.
  6. Consistent Communication

    Silence breeds anxiety. Sellers want to hear from their agents frequently — even if it’s just a quick update — to feel informed and involved throughout the process.

Top 6 Services Buyers Want

  1. Access to Active and Sold Listings
    Buyers rely on real-time data to make smart, strategic decisions. We make sure they have it.
  2. An Informative Buyer Packet
    From contracts to agent credentials, our buyer packets help DC house-hunters understand the process and feel empowered to take the next step.
  3. A Transparent, Strategic Home Search Process
    Buyers want to find the right home — not just any home. Strong negotiation skills and pricing insight ensure they don’t overpay or miss key details.
  4. A Proactive, Trustworthy Agent
    Just like sellers, buyers want a guide. Someone who anticipates roadblocks, communicates honestly, and navigates the process with their best interest at heart.
  5. A Smooth, On-Time Closing
    Surprises during escrow can tank a deal or delay a move. Buyers value predictability and a roadmap to the finish line.
  6. Ongoing Communication
    No one wants to feel left in the dark. Timely updates, check-ins, and being available to answer questions (big or small) is crucial.

The Power of Human Connection: Why FORD Conversations Matter


Industry research consistently shows that agents who prioritize FORD interactions — talking about Family, Occupation, Recreation, and Dreams — have a significantly higher success rate. Top agents who focused on 50 FORD conversations a week saw a 43% success rate, even beating out detailed annual marketing plans.

In short: Relationships close deals.
