“I just want to thank you, Mike, and the rest of your team for superior service. It is brokerages such as yours that are the ones of Carrington’s greatest assets. I wish all of our brokers were as passionate, knowledgeable, and as dedicated as yourself. The time that you spent providing tours of the properties is greatly appreciated, as I know that you are extremely busy. I also appreciate your cooperation as we move forward into this rental project, and continue to look to you for direction, knowledge, and advice concerning your local market, and the market in general.”

“Thank you for taking the time to show us around the Providence area. It proves very beneficial to us to see and understand market areas. In addition, your general overview of the market provides us with a good basis of understanding relative to the key drivers in your marketplace. I read Sunday’s Providence Journal and see that the foreclosure problem is front and center in the Money & Business section. I think I recognize the houses pictured in that article. Thanks again. It was a pleasure and greatly appreciated.”

Client Testimonials

Bryan Dempsey

“Out of all the brokerages and agents I have worked with thus far, none have been as professionally run and competent as Westcott Properties. As soon as a property has been assigned to Westcott, an occupancy status is communicated to me within 24 hrs. If the property is occupied, Westcott determines whether the tenants want to continue paying, accept cash-for-keys, or need to be evicted within a day or two. Detailed interior and exterior pictures are taken and submitted within the first few days, and any trash out or repairs needed are communicated to me along with pictures. Repair bids are submitted within two days of a request. Monthly reports are submitted like clockwork without a need to constantly remind them. BOPs come complete every time with sales and rental comparables, the listings for the sales and rental comparables, and detailed interior and exterior photos. Offers are submitted to me in the proper format providing efficiency in negotiations. Counters are communicated promptly. Issues regarding tenants, damage, city code violations, etc. are brought to my attention immediately…I would have no hesitation advocating that Westcott Properties be used as the model upon which all other brokerages should follow regarding the proper listing and management of REO properties.”

Pre-Market Checklist

Declutter and organize

Your house and rooms look larger with less items in them - a house that is overflowing gives the impression there is not enough storage space.

Repair and maintain

Make updates and repairs to improve appeal and value.

Addressing small issues prevents buyers from feeling like they have a to-do list as soon as they move in.

Consider staging

This can be a great way to breathe new life into homes which may be in need of upgrades and improvements

Checklist

Focus on curb appeal

This is a buyer’s first impression of your home! Consider hiring a professional landscaper if your budget allows.

Daily housekeeping

A daily housekeeping routine will ensure your home is kept in tip top shape and you are ready for showings.

Clean, clean, clean!

The house should look spotless! Consider a professional cleaner if your budget allows.
