In this very hard market for sellers with homes still on the market after 4, even 5 months we were nervous to say the least about selling.  We needed our home sold and could not afford for it to take anywhere near that long.  We are so glad we hire Steve and Bradley Group Realtors.  After they met with us Irena provided us with a very detailed Home Staging consultation followed by a lengthy email noting all areas of concern.  They mentioned that a well-staged home would not only increase our chances of selling quicker but for getting our asking price as well.  We had to move some items to storage, remove wall paper and paint but in the end it was all worth following their staging advice.

All of this along with the high quality marketing and the overwhelming grasp the team has of the Internet for generating leads has us receive an offer within 12 days of placing the home on the market!  That was amazing; in this market we couldn’t have imagined doing that.  Selling our home in the time we needed to was a great relief and kept us on schedule for our new home purchase.

We are certain Steve and Bradley Group Realtors cannot promise the same results for every client.  We do believe if you want to talk to professionals that understand not only the market but what it takes to sell you should talk with Bradley Group Realtors.  We are very happy we did.

Here are some of the things that stand out most working with Bradley Group Realtors.

• Irena’s time and effort with helping us stage out home for sale.
• The very unique Virtual Tour CD that was attached to our Flyers outside.
• Their great attention to detail and regular market updates.
• And most important, that they at no time pressured us to accept an offer that we felt was really too low.

We enjoyed working with professionals that were actually listening to us and not making us feel as though our home were just another of hundreds out there.

Part of my job as a settlement agent is to create relationships with the outstanding Realtors in our service area, Realtors working high volumes like Steve and his team and even new Realtors just getting their businesses started.  It doesn’t take long after starting to work with a Realtor to find out what they are made of.  It was very clear from the start when working with Steve Bradley that I had found my ideal client.  Steve is aggressive with his marketing and protecting his clients but all the while is very warm and friendly to everyone in the transaction.  Maybe that doesn’t sound like a big deal but knowing the volume Steve works at and having other Realtors with a small fraction of the business crack under the smallest issues it’s a welcome to have clients like Bradley Group Realtors.

This part Steve may not want me to share but I am going to anyway. Often I will send thank you gifts to my clients like Steve for the business they have trusted me with.  Steve is very different though.  Where most Realtors might expect a gift Steve will call me to say thank you and then tell me to please not send further gifts.  He states that as long as I keep taking care of his clients at the level of professionalism I am doing now, that is thanks enough.  It is important to Steve Bradley and his team that anyone interacting with his clients has the highest standards of service.  We are happy that Steve feels we fill this role well for the team and his clients and I am proud to work with them as well.

I absolutely recommend Steve Bradley and Bradley Group Realtors if you are looking to Sell or Buy a home. If you are moving out of the area contact Steve and he will get you in contact with a Realtor where you are moving that works at his level to help with your relocation.

Jacqueline, when Jim and I met you we had been turned off by the real estate market and were ready to become renters.  We were not expecting a buyer’s market to be competitive. You helped us to realize that it was better for us to buy our own home than rent. You were willing to explain the market and worked hard to help us find the right house. Your knowledge of the real estate market and community is impressive. We could not have asked for a better agent and new friend. I highly recommend you as an agent and Bradley Group Realtor as the best real estate agency in the area.  Steve Bradley and the staff at Bradley Group Realtors are wonderful.  Thanks again for everything you did in helping us to find our new home.  We will definitely be recommending you and Bradley Group Realtors to our friends.

Finally,   we sold our home and we are off to a new home in North Carolina.   It’s great to get our home sold and move down to be near friends.  It was a long process that started with our needing to sell our home.   We had interviewed Realtors including Steve and his team a long while back.   Steve Bradley was referred to us by a close friend who is also a Realtor but now living in North Carolina.  She told us from the start,  “If I were selling my home and needed a Realtor I would use Steve and his team”.    That is quite a statement from another Realtor that they would use his team.   Honestly we picked another Realtor that we knew and to be polite about it he did not really help the way we had hoped.   Our Realtor friend in NC told us again if we really wanted to sell that Steve Bradley and Bradley Group Realtors were the professionals to do it.

We are very happy we moved over to his team for help or we might still be trying to sell today.  The market out here is a tough one with prices dropping every day. With the help of Steve and his team we were able to sell our home and coordinate with our purchase in North Carolina.

We loved the marketing, the personal home web site and virtual tour.  After seeing the virtual tour we almost didn’t want to move because it looked so great.  All of it was great with all of the options it offered was cutting edge technology.

Thanks to Steve and the whole team at Bradley Group Realtors for helping our family in this difficult home selling market.  If you are looking for professionals to help with your home we would absolutely recommend them.

Best of luck with your home sale.

A problem   when selling our home!

Hello we are the Carlton’s and we recently sold our single family home in Prince William County.   Well we want to share with you a problem we had and why we are so grateful that we hired Steve Bradley and his team to sell our home in the first place.

Initially we were referred to Steve Bradley and his team through our neighbor and lender.   We were told by our lender that he would have his preferred Realtor® get together a general home evaluation and market statistics on our home.  We expected to see it in a few days or maybe even a week.   Later that same day Irena arrived at our home with a very professional presentation.   She introduced herself and offered that if we had any questions at all to call them at any time.   Soon after we scheduled for Steve and Irena to come by and show us their listing presentation for marketing our home.

We could go on about how incredible the presentation was and how amazing their marketing of our home was and it was, but we would like to talk about how Steve and his team performed when a big problem happened.  A week before closing the lender and the agent for the buyer of our home stopped returning Steve’s calls.   It was apparent that there was some problem and Steve was very aggravated with the other agent and lender whom all stopped returning calls making the problem worse.   Steve was very aggressive in trying to contact these people and even offered a solution to the buyer’s agent on how he could help solve the problem for their buyer.   But the other agent never called back and ignored the problem completely.   We were very upset at this as we were ready to move  and concerned  about putting our home back on the market;  would  it sell; would  we get our price; how long will it take; will the seller of the home  we are buying  wait for us all of this was terribly  stressful.

Steve told us on Thursday evening  that by 11:00am on Friday,  the day we should have been closing  on our home, that he wanted to have our home  back on the market.   He promised they would do everything they could to get it sold quickly.   Steve and his team started calling all the original agents that showed our home the first time.   They sent those same agents emails of our home and the virtual tour and also emailed out to all area agents that our home was available again.   Steve also told us he was going to list our home $20,000 higher than the price we listed at the first time.  He asked us to trust him with this decision and we did but were very nervous as we needed a contract right away.  On Saturday, only one day later, we had a fully ratified  offer for our home at the new price  Steve  suggested  and this offer got us $27~000 more than the first offer by the time we were done negotiating.

Of course we wish there never was a problem from the buyer at all.  But we are truly grateful to have had Steve Bradley and his team working for us.  It is how people handle problems and how they solve them that really show their character.   Steve saved us from a terrible problem and added $27,000 to our bottom line at the same time.  We highly recommend Steve if you are considering selling your home and are so grateful our lender referred him to us.

Sincerely,

Shannon and John C
