Sheila Benson

CAREER QUALIFICATIONS

Sheila has been a licensed Realtor since 1978. She quickly rose to and maintained a reputation of being a Top Seller's Agent. After 15 years as a Realtor, Sheila wanted more freedom to better serve her clients. In 1993, she worked hard to obtain a Real Estate Broker's license, which enabled her to open her own business. Benson Real Estate was founded with Greg's & Sheila's high standards of quality service as the key cornerstone.

Greg has been a successful licensed Realtor since 1993. From his previously successful accomplishments as the owner of a building maintenance company, and from renovating serveral homes, Greg has developed a wealth of knowledge in both home improvement methods and contractor business experience. This has proven to be a great benefit and added service to clients who need help getting their homes ready for sale.

KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS & CUSTOMER SERVICE HIGHLIGHTS

Our lisitngs sold an average of $33,000 above list price in only 8 days on market in 2005!
We've sold 100% of all our listings from 2004-2007 within the listing period!
Our sales volume is almost 5 times that of the average agent in the State of California. This positively impacts Sellers, because we generate more activity, resulting in a higher volume of listings sold!
Our reputation of outstanding service has brought us a high customer referral rate and a desire of other agents to work with us. Our Sellers get the traffic they need to get their homes sold.
We do things right the first time. Our TFT (transactions falling through) are extremely low (in 2005-2007 we had 0% listings fall through and come back on market). Having to re-sell a home 2 or 3 times can be very costly to a Seller.
We have a proven track record of negotiating the best terms and conditions. This means more cash in our client's pocket, and an easier time closing escrow. Most of our listings sell "as-is" and many sell with Seller retaining possession for up to 90 days rent free!
Litigation & Arbitration free our entire Real Estate careers! We also carry E&O Insurance for your piece of mind.
Free pre-market assistance in arranging home improvements necessary for a quick sale.
Excellent website presence through Homes.com (2nd largest real estate portal on the Internet). Additionally, all of our listings are displayed at the following sites: Homes.com, Realtor.com, mlslistings.com and Craigslist.com.
