Team Support
Our team is made up of buyer’s agents, listing agents, investment coordinators, rental agents, admin staff and in house marketing and professional photography. Just a few years ago we knew that the future of real estate was going to be run by real estate teams with technology and now finally the future of real estate is here and we are leading the way.
On the Home Guyz Team, our associates work together as a true team. They meet together multiple times per week; train together; specialize in areas of our city while sharing information and business; participate in group mentoring. In addition, tasks that typically weigh a Realtor® down are handled by team staff so they continually remain focused on matching up buyers and sellers.

5 Star Response Time to Buyer Leads
According to a study done by MIT, the odds of contacting a lead more than 5 minutes versus 30 minutes drops 100 times. From 5 to 10 minutes the odds decrease by 5 times. Is there any wonder why the average single agent misses so many opportunities to convert buyer leads for their sellers? At The Home Guyz we have a dedicated inside sales team whose sole job is to respond to and convert buyer leads for your listing. The statistics are clear– the modern internet consumer moves fast, and expects us to do the same.
Professional Photography and Digital Media
The photos you use in your marketing matter! Buyers are browsing hundreds of listings and you have less than 3 seconds to grab their attention. We use a professional photographer and utilize every tool available to us that will make your listings pop! Our tours focus on your home in glorious full screen HD slideshows and 360 degree panoramic views. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Home Staging
Qualified homes receive a complimentary home staging consultation from www.propertystaged.com – Property Staged helps you prepare your home for either living or selling by providing you with creative and functional solutions that best suit the property, budget and goals.
Telephone Marketing
Fewer and fewer real estate agents are becoming skilled at the art of pro-active prospecting. A dirty little secret is that most agents fear rejection and that keeps them from picking up the phone and prospecting for their sellers. Agents like this rely on other agents working through the MLS® to sell their listings for them. Home Guyz Team agents work toward the rank of Master Salesperson and receive constant coaching that helps them overcome self-limiting behaviors. What all of that really means is that the Home Guyz Team doesn’t just sit back and passively wait for buyers for your listing to come to us, we fearlessly and pro-actively go find them.
Multiple Portals
Your home will not be missed! Not only will your home have it’s own unique domain name ie. www.yourstreetaddress.com, but your home photos, video and information will be available on numerous websites, 24/7.

Social Media - Paid Adverts & Organic Posts
With every listing and Open House we advertise to target markets on Facebook, Twitter and Google Ads. These are costly, pay per impression ads… But worth every penny when it comes to selling your home! We also create a seperate “post” on our own Facebook Page and ask that you share on your timeline with a specific script we generate to maximize friend shares and likes.
The Price Is Right!
We can establish a competitive price for your property by doing a comparative market analysis, the method used by lending institutions when approving or rejecting financing on your property. Research has shown that prospective buyers are knowledgeable, looking at an average of 12 homes. A property priced in line with its competition will receive all the benefits of proper pricing.
Early Exposure | Exclusive
Every listing goes up onto our coming soon page @thehomeguyz.com and is sent out to a pool of agents and brokerages before the listing hits the market. Giving it early exposure and good ranking on search sites like Google and Bing.
Our Easy Exit Agreements
As you undoubtedly are starting to see, whether or not your home gets sold depends heavily on the agent you choose to hire for the job. And choosing the wrong one can be extremely costly. One of the most common concerns we hear from sellers who have been through a negative experience previously is that they don’t want to be tied down into another lengthy listing contract with another agent. We think that makes complete sense. You could be locked into a situation for months with no recourse if things go awry.
Knowing this, The Home Guyz proudly offers a cancellation guarantee through our “Easy-Exit,” no questions-asked listing contract. Either you are completely happy with our services, or you can terminate the listing agreement at any time. There’s no gimmick here… It’s plain and simple, and most importantly, in writing.
