Is Your Agent Just Going Through the Motions? Find Out Before You Regret It

If your Realtor is just going through the motions—treating your home sale like an Uber ride rather than a strategic, personalized process—you could be setting yourself up for serious regrets. When you click on an agent in the Zillow app or Realtor.com, for example, you don’t control who shows up. You might get a true professional—or you might not. Often, these agents are more concerned about closing sales quickly to cover the fees they pay to get you as a “lead” rather than truly serving your needs. That’s the last thing you want when making such a monumental decision.

The Uber Driver Analogy

Just like an Uber driver who’s focused on turning over rides as fast as possible, some agents prioritize speed over strategy. While that might be acceptable for a trip to the airport, it’s not what you need when buying or selling your largest asset. Real estate involves life-changing moves and financial impacts—it’s about far more than just getting from point A to point B.

The Real Estate Commoditization Problem

Some agents rely heavily on simple name recognition and a hot market, treating real estate like a commodity. They know homes will probably sell regardless of who lists them, so they take the easiest path. I call these “List-and-Leave Agents.” They snap some photos, put a sign in the yard, load the property onto the MLS, and then just wait for the market to do the work. This is a cookie-cutter approach, and it’s not tailored to your best interests. You deserve more than a bare-minimum effort—you deserve someone who takes the time to craft a winning strategy.

What Sets Us Apart

I take a different approach entirely. For me, the MLS is just one part of a carefully orchestrated plan. I leverage multiple marketing channels—Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok—and send mass emails to my extensive database. I produce high-quality print collateral, develop eye-catching online material, and feature your property on SoldonShawnee.com and NextHomeCRE.com. From there, I syndicate to hundreds of other sites. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s a customized campaign designed to present your property at its absolute best and reach the right buyers.

But it doesn’t stop there. Beyond creating strong marketing campaigns, I actively work with local, state, and national lawmakers to advocate for policies that protect homeowners and maintain a fair, transparent real estate market. This level of involvement ensures that I stay ahead of industry shifts and regulatory changes, allowing me to advise you with confidence and knowledge that’s informed by what’s happening behind the scenes.

Real Client Success Stories

Don’t just take my word for it—my clients speak for themselves. They often mention my deep understanding of the local Shawnee market, my personalized attention, and my robust marketing strategies. Another common compliment is my frequent, transparent communication. Clients appreciate knowing exactly what’s happening with their listing, receiving timely answers, and never being left in the dark. By combining strong marketing, local expertise, and open dialogue, I ensure a smoother, stress-free experience.

Why It Matters Now More Than Ever

The real estate market is always evolving, and the changes we’re seeing today could significantly affect your ability to secure the best deal and protect your interests. Having a skilled, experienced Realtor in your corner is more critical than ever. My advocacy work with lawmakers means I’m up-to-date on legislative shifts that impact real estate transactions—knowledge that I can use to guide you with clarity and confidence.

But it’s not just about policy; it’s also about the finer points of the transaction itself. I have a comprehensive, expert-level understanding of Oklahoma contracts. This in-depth understanding of the legal framework ensures that every line of your agreement is working in your favor, reducing risks and helping you achieve your real estate goals with certainty. In a world where small details can have big consequences, my contract expertise is a game-changer.

When it’s time to buy or sell a home, don’t settle for a commoditized experience. Choose a Realtor who doesn’t take shortcuts—one who treats your transaction like the major milestone it truly is. If that sounds like the kind of service you want, let’s talk.
