“Thank You again for finding us this Great House!” 
 Tom & Beatrix Tyna (Bay Village) 


“In this market, it would be easy to throw up your hands and say it's close to impossible, just sit back and hope for the best, but not you.  The marketing materials were great and the effort you put in helped to sell the house in an impressive amount of time.  Thank you for your input to get the house looking its best and for helping with all areas of the sale.   I can rest easy with planning my wedding knowing I have that checked off my list…  When Chris and I head back to Cleveland… I'll be the first one to look you up and use your services to find our new home.”   Yours Truly, Kate Plenzler (Avon Lake)


“...your ambitious approach is very refreshing...” Linda Wagenknecht (Lakewood) 
 

"Tony is the Professional in Realty Professionals”   Lee Zapis (Bay Village)


“...Professional in every detail  ...sensitive to our personal situation  ...business ethics and moral values are to be admired  ...does everything in his power to make what could be a highly stressful time in your life a pleasurable experience.”  Donald & Betty Maxam (Huron)


“...a pleasure working with you ...we think of you as a new friend 
...you are truly a “professional”.    Zita & Ken Boitel (Westlake)


“Your consistent communication, attention to detail and advice made the entire process a smooth one and one that I learned a great deal from.”   James Elios (Avon Lake)
“I knew throughout the whole process that everything would turn out well because you were very honest and up front with me.”  You went above and beyond what any other Realtor would do.”  Robert W. Rosol (Fairview Park)


“We couldn’t be Happier in our New Home – could not have done it without you!”   Dennis & Michelle Pinozzi (Lakewood)


“You were knowledgeable and taught me how to look at electrical, plumbing and structural things I never would have noticed.   You also listened to what I wanted and helped me to narrow my search.  I was treated with respect ....something a single female does not encounter very often in the Real Estate market.”     Theresa A. Clarke (Lakewood)


“Thanks again for all your help.  I’ve told a lot of agents in my office what a super agent you are - a real professional.”       Judy Nupp – Howard Hanna (Rocky River

For Sale By Owner     

     F.S.B.O. (For Sale By Owner) 

    Top Ten (10) Differences when comparing your efforts to 
the Experience, Past Succes and Efforts of selling your Home through The Apotsos Team.
 
1)        WE CAN SELL YOUR HOUSE FOR MORE MONEY.
            According to the 2010 National Association of REALTORS Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, the  
          typical FSBO home sold for $113,000, compared to $129,900 for a salesperson-assisted home. This
          means that even if you pay me a 7-percent commission, you will realize $120,807.
 
2)        WE USE MORE THAN 25 REAL ESTATE WEB SITES TO PROMOTE THE SALE OF YOUR HOME.
          Subscribing to these large sites allows me to add up to 25 photos, drawing, maps and loads of
          text to find and fully inform the buyer of your home.   These sites work 24/7 to inform any buyer at
          any time of day!
 
3)         WE DO THIS FULLTIME.
           I spend approximately 100-300 hours on each home listed and sold. That is the amount of time 
           you will have to Invest from your free time to sell your home yourself.
 
4)        WE UNDERSTAND HOW TO COMPLETE THE MANY CONTRACTS, FORMS                                       
            AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS REQUIRED IN A REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION.
            According to the 2010 National Association of REALTORS Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 
          difficulty with paperwork was the second biggest problem FSBOs had in selling their own homes.
 
5)        WE CAN QUALIFY AND HELP ASSESS THE BUYER’S ABILITY TO AFFORD THE PROPERTY
            AND HELP THEM LOCATE THE BEST PLACES TO OBTAIN FINANCING.
            Often buyers, especially inexperienced ones, rely on the real estate sales person to help them
          obtain a mortgage. I have experience in helping buyers locate a lender and select between fixed,
          adjustable, or balloon mortgages. I am also experienced in prequalifying buyers so that they will not
          make an offer on a home they cannot afford.
  
6)        WE HAVE THE MARKET KNOWLEDGE TO PRICE THE HOME COMPETITIVELY.                       
            According to the 2010 National Association of REALTORS Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, setting
          the right price was the biggest problem FSBOs had in selling their own homes. You may know what 
          one or two homes near you have sold for, but I have access to a wide number of comps and the 
          market knowledge to apply the kind of pricing that will attact many buyers from day "1". 
 
7)        WE CAN BE OBJECTIVE, HANDLE CRITICISM OF THE HOUSE AND FOCUS ON HOW WELL
            THE HOME SUITS A BUYER.
          All owners have emotional attachments to their homes and will emphasize the features they
          consider most desirable during a showing. However as a trained professional, I am more attuned to 
          the buyers’ needs and able to highlight the home’s features that have the most appeal to each
          buyer.
 
8)         WE KNOW HOW TO NEGOTIATE AND OVERCOME OBJECTIONS.
          Balancing offers and counteroffers, as well as handling many of the contingencies that usually
          accompany real estate transactions can be frustrating and/or frightening. I typically sell a home
          for 95.5 % of the asking price.
 
9)         WE CAN GET THE TRANSACTION CLOSED.
          Once the Purchase Agreement is signed, the work has just begun. Home Inspections, termite
          inspection, title insurance, and building permits for improvements are just a few of the tasks that
          need to be addressed before closing. Professional help makes all of these tasks go more smoothly.
 
10)       WE HAVE THE EDUCATION AND THE EXPERIENCE TO MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN.   
           After 24+ years and more than 1,000 homes SOLD I know the do’s and don’t of what it takes to
           prepare, market and sell a Home. I also know the process of analyzing a home to determine it’s
           worth, benefit and cost to you.   I can also determine the value of an offer to calculate if it is
           perhaps the Best one for you to accept!
 
      We would be honored with your trust and greatly appreciate the opportunity to serve your Real Estate needs.   Our goals for your home are always to sell at the highest amount possible, in the shortest period of time and with the fewest inconveniences to you, the customer.   Put your home on my list and we will insure results!
