I live in Orchard Hills and am looking to put my home up for sale. Price will likely be in the 3M+ range. We are considering Cindy Chin with KW- anyone have experience working with her (positive or negative)?

Show me what u got. The prize is a $3 million listing.
USCTrojanCPA said:I've attached Cindy's listing stats and my listing stats for the past 3 years for comparison's sake. Cindy has closed 31 listings in the past 3 years and she had more listings that didn't close that closed while I've closed 48 listings in that same time with almost 90% of my listings closing. My average time to escrow is around 3 weeks and my average original listing price to closing price is just a hair under 100% and NO listing agent can beat that those two stats.
When picking an agent, you should look at the time that their listings take to go into escrow and the original list price to the final sales price. These two metrics will tell how good the agent is at properly pricing their homes and how well they negotiate on behalf of their seller. Don't get fooled by Chinese or Korean agents telling you that you need an agent that knows how to speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and Korean because that's just not true. I've sold dozens of listings to FCB Chinese and Korean buyers without any issues (I can pull in assistants to help me with Mandarin, Cantonese, and/or Korean if needed but I've never really had to even when the buyer's agents English wasn't great). My listing track record speaks for itself and I can sell any home at any price range in any location because a good salesperson is a good salesperson.
Yes, it is true that higher-priced homes do take longer for the seller but the same simple principles hold true....price and presentation will make the difference between any home sitting or selling in a timely manner. For higher end homes, it's a fine balance of pricing with leaving some room to negotiate down a bit to where both the buyer and seller feel good about the ultimate sales price. Presentation is that much more important for higher-end homes where you need to declutter, clean, and/or stage as necessary along with getting high qualify pictures, a virtual tour, ariel pictures, and/or videos.
Stats never lie only idiot realtors do!

Hey do you think you can run some stats for me for Regina Chen? Or if you can show me how to run it that would be great too. Thanks!
