What We Mean by "Full Service."

In case you're wondering what we mean by "full service," this is it. MWRealty provides all these services to our Delaware Shore clients. Most discount brokers fall short—and so do many full-price brokers.

1. Work With a Licensed Broker, Not a Sales Agent.
Chances are that as a seller, you'll never meet the actual licensed broker behind one of those big real estate firsms. They'll assign you an agent, who, however charming and/or experienced, is nevertheless one step down on the real estate licensing ladder. As an MWRealty seller, however, you'll work directly with our principal broker and CEO, Richard S. Sternberg.

2. A Written Plan to Sell Your Home.
Big broker or small, discount or full price, if a broker or agent doesn't tell you exactly what they're going to do to sell your home, your listing is likely to languish.

3. A Professional Market Evaluation.
You need to know what your home is really worth so you can price it correctly. Opinions on this will vary, of course, but be aware that some brokers will give you a higher value to get your listing—then use one of a few well-known tactics to readjust your expectations after they have your listing.

4. An MLS Listing.
Every time a new customer comes in, a broker or agent runs a computer search of the MLS listings to find all the homes that meet their criteria. Buyers without brokers also access the MLS through multiple free sources on the Internet. If you're not on MLS, you're not for sale. What's more, there's an art to writing an MLS listing. In fact it's shocking how many leave out critical search data. With MWRealty, you will see a sample of your listing, and you will like it.

5. Direct Mail Advertising.
We have a mailing list of current Bethany Beach property owners, and many of them know people who'd love to own a home at the beach. We'll let them know that we have your listing and give them a few choice details to get them interested enough to visit your custom-designed Web site.

6. Property Signs.
MWRealty offers a distinctive property sign mounted on a stylish carriage post to help agenets, prospective buyers, and other interested people find your home. The sign also directs prospective buyers to your custom-designed Web site.

7. Custom-Made Color Brochures.
If they're visiting town looking for a vacation or retirement house, serious buyers can easily see five to eight properties a day in one weekend. A custom brochure helps them remember your home when they sit down to review their notes We custom-design these brochures to feature pictures of your property i a compact, easy-to-save trifold on glossy stock.

8. A Custom-Built Web Page.
Today, many home buyers like to check out what's available in the comfort of their own homes…often before they ever consult a real estate broker. These buyers can find your offering on the MLS. But we also prepare a custom Web page to help remind prospects what they saw at your home, and we post it in a manner that makes it easy to find and remember.

9. Shown by Appointment and Lock Boxes.
We believe that open houses are more valuable to brokers than to sellers, especially with vacation property. You want your vacation home protected when you are absent, and you lose nothing by keeping things secure. The serious buyers use brokers. We put a lock box on the house so licensed real estate professionals can preview the house and show it. For the folks who shop for themselves, we'll make an appointment to show your home under supervision.

10. Meetings with Owners or Buyers in Metropolitan Washington.
Our broker lives in Montgomery County, MD, and we'd be happy to meet you there. We can easily arrange to show houses and attend closings in Delaware.
