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.
