The Weiland Group – Keller Williams Realty

For a home $ 350,000 and less a four star rating would apply
I am a former licensed Commercial Realtor in VA, and have a 20 year background in consumer/​industrial products mktg (product mngr to VP of mktg adv pr, NYC). I rely very seriously on Unilocal when traveling and so write extremely carefully with all reviews.
Mike and Elke Weiland are the finest people to work with. They are 100% calm, polished, down– to– earth, extremely honest but professionally tactful highly intelligent well educated gracious gracious people. They are also GENUINELY sensitive kind good people.
We interviewed approx 8 companies in two years before putting our 5000 sq ft 1963 home on the mkt 2÷27÷15. It took 3 years of very hardwork (along w my husbands unexpected 5 surgeries in 2013) to get the house totally ready for sale. This is our 4 th home in 38 years of marriage in 4 states.
This is a very impossible house to sell for Sid Hartman had built a huge recording TV/​radio studio on the top floor. The Minnesota mkt has not recovered for homes over $ 500M– we are just at 7% of sales in this price range. If we could hv afforded to wait 2 – 3 years, the return on our huge ($ 400M) improvements investment would hv been better, but my husband’s health issues were the factor for sales today.
There seems to be a very real small tight community of seasoned senior prosperous upper bracket price point realtors. They know one another extremely well and hold one another in very high deserved professional regard. They also do not welcome newcomers to their community.
They network easily via direct email text phone. They control all high end relocation clients as well.
Only through careful methodical research of actual realtor sales/​price points will you be able to ID this community.
We never knew this. We have only lived here 15 years. We do not understand this particular buying culture= extremely different fr the East Coast.
This realtor is not recognized by this high end community, does not hv the established network of realtor contacts, is not aggressively proactive nor strategically inventive with extremely difficult properties such as ours and priced our property about $ 30M too high and nixed a drastic price drop after the first two unproductive prime sale weeks where all feedback said «too high priced». It did not help that my nervous husband did not favor price drops as well.
Now 90 days on the mkt with only two months of favorable buying (September = drastic drop), we are now a short sale. Our price $ 599M must plunge almost $ 100M to be sold this year. Hopefully not lower.
Short sales can ONLY be done by exclusive short sale realtors: they negotiate w your banks. Strive to close where you do not hv to bring any cash to the table. Most regular realtors can not will not help you EFFECTIVELY w your banking lenders
Very Impt info. Good luck
