Date: 5/6/2008 My wife and I listed our house with a traditional realtor for five months with nearly no interest and zero offers. After two months off the market we decided to sell it ourselves with Michael's assistance. We bought an MLS # on a Saturday and accepted an offer to sell the following Saturday. In the week we had our house for sale with Eau Claire By Owner we had two showings plus multiple showings with the people who ended up buying the house. By not selling our house with a traditional realtor we saved over $4000 in commission fees. I can’t think of one single reason for anyone to sell their house with a traditional realtor. After accepting an offer to sell our house my wife and I began the search for our new home. Michael acted as our buyers agent and did an outstanding job. He was very helpful and accommodating. We looked at over a dozen houses before finding the one we wanted. Michael was always happy to show us different houses, and always kept us up to date with new listings on the MLS. We will be recommending Eau Claire By Owner to everyone we know who is selling their house in the Eau Claire area. Michael is a great guy and runs an excellent business. Jeff & Vanessa Moessner, Eau Claire Date: 1/4/2008 Our sale went as we hoped it would, we did not encounter any surprises. We have suggested this method of selling to some of our friends in Eau Claire...expect a call in February 08. Thanks Mike! Jeff and Lori, Chippewa Falls Date: 12/23/2007 I would recommend eauclairebyowner.com to friends and family. Photos used and description were excellent. Listing produced 1-2 showing weekly. Would use Eau Claire by Owner in the future. Mike Brown, Eau Claire Date: 12/6/2007 I would recommend eauclairebyowner.com to friends and family. The sale went as we had planned. Though we eventually sold to someone who found us through MLS, most of the folks who came through our open houses found us by following the For Sale signs we posted at nearby street corners. EauClairebyowner got us listed on MLS for a great rate and that is how the buyers found us. Even in a down market a good house will sell and the realtor isn't bringing much to the party. We still had to fix the place up and clean it up for open houses. The paper work is mostly handled by the bank and title company. The only thing we needed a realtor for was access to MLS and EauClairebyowner gave us that at a reasonable price. Steve and Kathy, Eau Claire Date: 11/25/2007 Yes, I would recommend eauclairebyowner.com to friends and family. We were disappointed in ourselves for taking an offer so far below the asking price. We had a few calls prior to the offer but then once we accepted the offer, it seemed we had 1-3 calls a week on the duplex. We wish we would have held out awhile longer or counter offered for a higher amount. We were very pleased with the service you offer. The web site is well developed and easy to get around in, you answered our questions promptly when we called or e-mailed, and gave us great exposure which resulted in several calls from interested parties. Randy and Toni, Eau Claire Date: 9/25/2007 I'm a builder who just listed and sold my first home through eauclairebyowner.com. I've been doing this for 31 years. Up until now I've listed with full-service agents, but I've never seen anything like the response I had with this listing. I had more showings than with any other home I've ever built. I even picked up three new custom home jobs because of the listing. All this in a time where the real estate market is supposedly tanking! Thanks Mike! - Name withheld by request Date: 8/6/2007 I would recommend Eau Claire By Owner to friends. Michael, you need to remind clients that agents may give very short notice for showing homes. Sellers, check those emails and calls often! I'm glad you called warning me of the first showing before we had everything set up. -Chuck White Date: 8/6/2007 I would recommend Eau Claire BY Owner to friends and family. Everything went as planned with the sale of our home, we saved over $11,000 in real estate commissions! - Dave Kramschuster Date: 5/31/2007 I thought your services went well. Considering how the market was at the time of our move, I was very pleased with how much action we received. Scott and Stephanie, Chippewa Falls Date: 7/11/2007 I would recommend Eau Claire By Owner services to a friend. In fact, I already have done so, and his home has an accepted offer as well! Michael did what he said he would do. I can't think of any way to improve the services he offers. - Jerry Bauer, Eau Claire (now Montana) Date: 4/10/2007 I would DEFINITELY recommend Eau Claire by Owner to a friend. Anyone who knows even a little bit about selling a house can save thousands by using ECBO!! Great option for us and we DID save thousands. I thought your services were more than adequate for the price. Michele, somewhere in New Mexico Date: 4/10/2007 Definitely would refer friends to ECBO. We already have. We were very happy with how your service worked for us. The only way we can think of to make it better is for you to pack up all our stuff to move!! Thanks for all your help. It worked out better than we could have hoped. Greg and Amy, Eau Claire Date: 3/18/2007 Mike, Thanks so much, you were extremely helpful! Having MLS exposure, while selling your house, is the most important thing a seller can do. I would definitely recommend ECBO to friends and family. In fact I already have. The bottom line is people use the MLS and the internet to find homes. Why pay a realtor big bucks to do so little? Nick G, Chippewa Falls Date: 3/5/2007 I would highly recommend ECBO to a friend and already have mentioned it to a few people who are looking to sell their homes in the next couple years. Mike was very professional and easy to work with. Anytime I would email a question, he would get back to me with 24 hours. Very friendly!!! The only thing I would've liked to have seen (probably not necessarily a service) is like a breakdown of what needs to happen when...like an info sheet so we knew what to expect. Basically everything that will happen before closing. We had no idea, we just kept asking questions. We initially went with a [full-service] realtor but weren't getting the exposure we wanted (especially on the internet). We tried selling it on our own for a couple months but had to take the time to do our own marketing using various newspapers and postings at local businesses, but we still weren't getting the internet exposure that we wanted. We received the ECBO postcard in the mail and contacted him within a few weeks. We were able to direct people to the site on our "take one" info sheet and they were able to see the photos and more info as well as directions to our location. We saved about $8000 on commission and still received the exposure on the MLS. This was great advertising for the price. We sold our house within a year and our page received over 900 hits total. I would highly recommend ECBO to anyone. Sue K, Strum Date: 2/20/2007 EauClaireByOwner was great to work with! Good service at a reasonable price. Renee, Eau Claire Date: 1/30/2007 I would definitely recommend eauclairebyowner.com to a friend. Eauclairebyowner allowed us to get the exposure we needed, but made the selling process so much simpler by eliminating the use of so many REALTORS. (The REALTOR that sold the house couldn't believe how fast the whole process went). Your services were very good and I can't really think of anything that needs improving. You had timely feedback and everything went very smooth. Just keep advertising and letting people know of your services. I think that more people would enjoy the freedom of selling their own home if they knew how easy it can be. I wish we could have dealt with something like this on our recent home purchase. L. Halling, Hammond, WI Date: 1/23/2007 One of the REALTORS representing a buyer, when she called to request a showing asked me how the process was working. I told her "great". I had 20-25 showings, and in this market, it went sooner than I thought it would. Thanks, and I'm very happy I went with you instead of a [full-price] REALTOR. -E. Gunderson, Eau Claire Date: 1/8/2007 We both feel your price was very reasonable. Being that our house sold relatively quickly, we are not able to give you any ideas on how to improve your services. We are very happy with what we received. M. Caldwell, Eau Claire Date: 9/20/2006 I closed on Friday at 4:00pm. It all went well and I thank you for the excellent service. I'll keep you in mind for all my future sales. Thanks! M Bradford, Eau Claire Date: 8/11/2006 I was very pleased with the service. Not going through a realtor saved me at least $10,000. Sold my home and found my new condo on Eauclairebyowner.com. I would recommend this service to a friend. Barbara M., Eau Claire Date: 6/1/2006 Customer: Mary Stamos I really liked using the website. It is easy to use and well planned out. It was a big help. Thanks for everything. Date: 4/20/2006 Customer: Carla Stabenow After on and off 2 years with realtors, we listed on your site and accepted an offer in 7 weeks. This service is GREAT. Thanks for all you did. Highly recommend. Who can show a house better than the owners? Date: 2/6/2006 Customer: Linda & Jay Lellman We are very pleased with the results we have had using eauclairebyowner.com. Two of our properties sold very quickly after starting the service. Our buyers said they found us on eauclairebyowner.com. We have been very satisfied with the helpful & professional way we were treated. Date: 2/28/2006 Customer: Ron Tayek I sold a home on web site in Oshkosh 5 years ago. Your site is much more informative. You have all the forms, locations and even loan places involved. So far it has been very easy. You could easily be charging more for this service! |
