What Sellers and Buyers have said about Crawford Realty’s Flat Fee Listing Service and Buyer Cash Earnback Program

Birmingham:  Thank you for all your help in selling my home.  What a relief, and it was so easy with your help.  I would recommend your Flat Fee program to anyone as it was a pleasure to work with you.  K L

 

Birmingham:  I was very impressed with your Discount Listing service from the beginning to the end.  You took great pictures and created a wonderful MLS listing.  You also stayed on top of the sale until it was made final.  Thanks for all your help! – M F

 

Homewood:  Lisa and I really enjoyed working with your company.  We love the value that your flat fee program offers, and all the support you have given us.  Thanks, C W

 

 

Birmingham:  Wayne, thanks so much for your professionalism and thorough approach to what you do in Birmingham Real Estate.  You did not miss a beat and I sincerely appreciate it…R D

 

Oak Meadows (Hwy 119):  Wayne, we found that your service was what sold our home!  We had a difficult Realtor® to deal with and you were helpful in every area of dealing with them, keeping us informed and organized, and working out each detail of the sale.  I would definitely recommend you and your discount services!  Thanks for all your help!  A

 

Vestavia:  Our house had been already on the market for 7 months when we decided to list it in MLS. We chose Flat Fee MLS  and contacted Mr. Crawford in Birmingham. From that moment things sped up: Mr. Crawford gave us useful instructions that helped us to have a lot of visitors – we did not have them before. Soon we had a primary contract and, right after, a backup contract. Our house got sold in about 2 months. If you plan to sell your property in the Birmingham area I can highly recommend using Crawford Realty of Alabama’s flat fee MLS services. It will be a great and reliable help while it saves you several thousands of dollars.  Dr. B

 

Wayne:  Thanks for everything you did to help us sell our home. We sold it just two weeks after listing it in MLS with you!! You were always prompt in returning phone calls and emails and gave us solid advice on our selling price and other contract negotiation issues. Your Discount service  exceeded my expectations. If I ever move again I will call you immediately.  Thanks again.  C H

 

Vestavia:  We saved THOUSANDS of dollars using Wayne at Crawford Realty!

Wayne is very professional and super helpful! We sold our house quickly for the market in our area. Wayne promptly answered every phone call and e-mail we sent. He was always available whenever we needed him but not constantly calling us like some real estate agents have done in the past.

If you like a more “hands off” approach to selling a home, but want the benefits of being on the MLS and having a Birmingham Realtor® help you with all of the legal stuff, this is the company for you! We could not have been more pleased.

We are using Wayne for the purchase of our next home, too….Thank you so much, Wayne, for doing what you do!  K & W McC

 

Homewood:  We were looking for a “middle of the road” between For Sale By Owner  and using a Realtor®.  Crawford Realty’ flat fee listing service provided just that:  screening of prospective buyers, how to negotiate the contract, what we needed to do as the seller toward closing, and advice on the “not planned for” scenarios after the inspection.  We had a contract and closed in five weeks.  We were pleased with Crawford Realty  in every way!   D & S G

 

Hoover: “We truly feel that being listed in the Birmingham MLS is the very best way to sell a home. With Crawford Realty, you can enjoy the benefits of the MLS and save lots of money in real estate commissions! Wayne was very professional and helpful along the way. We enjoyed meeting potential buyers! After one week of listing with Crawford Realty of Alabama, we had 2 offers. We listed and closed within 3 weeks! Thanks Crawford Realty!” The G’s

 

Hoover:  Wayne, we were very pleased with your service and Crawford Realty’s Discount Services.  I believe that many people think “how do I sell a home” on my own and your company had the answers to that question.  I for one would not do it any other way.  T & K S

 

Helena: “We were very pleased with the service that Wayne and Crawford Realty provided.  We had a contract that fell through, but then very soon after, a full price offer and a successful contract!  Wayne walked us through the entire process and provided very valuable assistance.  We saved several thousand dollars in Realtor® commissions.  The Flat Fee Real Estate service Wayne provided exceeded our expectations, and we would list with him again and recommend him to anyone. ”   J & L W

 

Birmingham:  Thank you Wayne Crawford Realty!  I appreciate the help.   M J

 

Hayden:  Crawford Realty’s Flat Fee service is the only way to go!  We were amazed at the responses to sale of our home which sold in less than 1 month.  Wayne’s expert advice about pricing our home was right on the money and we were very grateful for that. Wayne was so helpful, patient and quick to respond with the constant questions we had. If or when we decide to do it again you can bet we will be calling him again.  You can’t beat the savings on Realtor® fees either. Mr. & Mrs. C

 

Pelham:  A note to express my thanks and sincere admiration for the way you run your business. Within one day of you posting my home in the Birmingham MLS the traffic increase was amazing. Your responsiveness, willingness to patiently answer any questions and lightning fast turn around response to calls and emails was excellent. I know many others who have paid thousands more for so much less customer service. Forget traditional selling agents - I’m sold!  KAC

 

Helena:  Wayne, of Crawford Realty, is “Simply the Best!”  He sold my house within 24 hours which was truly amazing.  Wayne is such a pleasure to work with because he is professional, kind and extremely helpful.  I still can’t believe my house sold so quickly!  Thanks for the great service!  I highly recommend Crawford Realty.  K T

 

Hoover: I really do not know what to say. I do know that if I had a chance to do this all over again, I would start with Crawford Realty (instead of trying to sell as a For Sale By Owner listing.) You offered assistance that greatly exceeded my expectations and I am grateful.  I have told all of my friends that if they are interested in selling their homes, they should consider you first. Thanks for everything. D W

 

Homewood:  Crawford Realty of Alabama provided all the services of a traditional Birmingham Realtor® at much less cost.  Our home sold very fast for a few thousand less than asking price and Crawford Realty provided all the necessary information and instructions on exactly what to do to prepare for the sale and closing.  Thanks.  B McD

 

Dear Wayne,
I wanted to take time to send this email to just let you know just how valuable your Real Estate Services have been to my wife and I.  I can’t say enough about you and your services… they are the best.  If anyone has any doubts, I can rest them assured that the way you do business is unequalled.  In every respect, you have given us invaluable advice in listing our home, particularly the pricing strategy.  I want you to know that as a builder, this is invaluable information and strategy and I have since used it and it did work, perfectly!  Furthermore, whenever I have asked for your help you not only have always responded positively but very quickly.  I could not ask for more.  Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you, because you have certainly helped me and I could not recommend your services more highly.

Vestavia:  “Crawford Realty of Alabama”..The best thing since sliced bread and Wayne is an expert in the real estate market and shares his in-depth knowledge readily. I would not only highly recommend Crawford Realty of Alabama, but would insist that you take my word and use only them. There are other agents but Wayne and Crawford realty just rock as they are Honest , Open, Meticulous and Expert which makes selling your home a breeze.” A & S L

 

Trussville: “Wayne, we appreciate all of your help in the sale of our investment property. With your guidance we were able to make this a success. Because of your help we were able to make more of a profit on our sale. We will definitely use your Flat Fee Real Estate services again and also recommend you to others.”  WD & LB

Hoover: “Crawford Realty was a blessing to us in selling our home. We are not “business minded” people and were cautious in taking the first steps, but Wayne made us relax and feel confident that we could do this. Wayne was available at all times to give his professional opinion and to answer any of our questions. I really felt that he was “on our side” and doing his best to promote the property. It was shown many, many times which told me the advertising was very good. When it came time to sell Wayne was extremely helpful in taking care of all matters including dealing with real estate agents and attorneys. I would recommend Crawford Realty to everyone regardless of prior knowledge of the real estate business. Call Wayne and go for it! All you can lose is the high real estate commission.”  C & J K

 

Helena:  “Wayne, Thank you so much for everything!  We had our reservations about going with a Flat Fee Realtor® with but no one could have been more professional or could have gotten better results for us!  We saved money and sold our home for full price. Keep up the good work!”  Mr. and Mrs. H

 

Vestavia Hills:  “We initially decided to list our home as For Sale By Owner.  We had fair traffic and much of it was Birmingham Realtors® who wanted to know if we would work with them.  We were contacted by Crawford Realty and this Discount Listing Service seemed to be a great way to expand our presence and have Realtors® KNOW that we would work with them.  Within a few days we went from fair traffic to GREAT traffic.  We had 2 offers on our house within 3 weeks.  I have to admit that when my wife mentioned Flat Fee MLS to me I was skeptical, but decided to do it for the exposure.  This was the best move I made and I do not believe that we would have had the quality and number of GOOD offers on our house in such a short time otherwise.  If you want to sell your home and don’t want to pay full commissions, I recommend Crawford Realty.”  D & C B

 

Avondale:  “Crawford Realty of Alabama…what a great experience!  Your Flat Fee Service provided all the necessary exposure to sell our house and at a savings of thousands.  Thanks for your expert advice on “pricing it right”.  As a result, our house sold quickly and very close to the listing price.”  PP & P McL

 

Riverchase:  “Wayne, this new way of listing my house (Flat Fee MLS Listings)  saved me over $20,000, and the house sold in two weeks.  Your service is amazing and everyone should try this approach before using a traditional real estate agent.”  P M

 

Alabaster:  “We weren’t sure if we would be successful in selling our home without a traditional realtor but decided to try Crawford Realty’s Flat Fee MLS Listing Service to see what would happen. Wayne professionally guided us through each step with patience and great suggestions. He was easy to contact and his services exceeded our expectations. We were amazed when we received a FULL PRICE offer in just 19 days! We are already referring all of our friends! …Thank you Crawford Realty.” The M Family

 

Forest Park: “we were shocked to learn our home’s value was over $600,000.00 when we decided to sell. We listed with a traditional realtor and reluctantly faced paying $40,000.00 in commission. When it didn’t sell we pulled the listing and called Wayne. He listed our home for a flat fee, put it on all of the websites and within 2 weeks it was sold, for $50,000.00 over list price and with a total marketing cost of less than $4000.00. That’s the way it should be! Nothing that any other Realtor® could have done would be worth $40,000.00!”  G & M C

 

Greystone:  “We were moving back to Birmingham when we heard of Crawford Realty of Alabama and their concept of a buyers agent where the agent receives their commission based on the work they did.  What a CONCEPT.  We had always done our own work prior to moving to a new area.  We knew what we wanted, by looking at the internet, previewing homes and talking to others about the area. All this without an agent.  In most cases after contacting an agent they showed us houses we were not interested in.  Using Crawford Realty’s concept we looked at the homes we had located and by doing the footwork we benefited.  Once we found the home we liked, Wayne helped us through the process of making the offer.  Wayne was there to help every step of the way.  Even the mortgage people were impressed with how Wayne responded to questions they had.  I would and do recommend Crawford Realty to people I know.  Crawford Realty is changing the way people buy homes just as the internet has changed the way people shop for homes.  Thanks Wayne and Crawford Realty.”  The P’s
