home.

How we market your home to be seen, stand out, and sell.

“To earn someone’s trust is not easy, nor does it happen quickly.

Earning trust is demanding work that only comes through genuine effort.”

PRIORITY AND FOCUS

We understand that selling a home can be one of the most significant emotional and financial experiences in a person’s life. All home sellers have the daunting task of finding a new place to live, packing, organizing, financing and, last but not least, leaving a place of cherished memories.

The last thing any home seller needs to be worried about, is how their home is going to be effectively represented and marketed. At Royal Shell Real Estate, we make the process as easy and stress free as possible by maintaining an exceptional service standard, while providing the proper exposure your home deserves in today’s competitive marketplace.

“Our experience and passion is focused on one simple goal; Making selling easy.”

Navigating the successful purchase of your home begins with open and honest dialogue about your goals and objectives.

AVAILABILITY

“Response time matters.”

YOU ARE OUR FOCUS 24 hours a day, 7 days a week The personal touch is the first step in building trust. That’s why our office phones are answered by a person and not a machine. Accelerating the response time to an inquiry on your property can mean all the difference. The importance of contacting a sales prospect quickly cannot be overstated. Based on a national survey, businesses provide no response to email inquiries 51% of the time and, when they did respond, 70% of the time it took more than 24 hours. Our lead management systems provide a real time connection for immediate response and tracking. We make home buyer leads “fly” to your agent day or night, ensuring they are responded to immediately.

DEDICATED CALL CENTER

Royal Shell Real Estate knows that every opportunity for a buyer to see your home is important.

Because of this we have invested in a service to maximize your availability. To do this, we outsource our showing desk to Centralized Showing Service, an online system and professional call center designed to provide greater opportunity for any agent to schedule a showing. They also screen agents to know who is making the appointment. In addition, this system automatically requests feedback from all showings, emails you the feedback and keeps this all in a historical log.

SELLER BENEFITS:  Ability to schedule multiple appointments by calling one phone number.

 Extended Hours: 8am to 8pm Monday through Saturday, 8am to 6pm Sunday.  Each appointment takes approximately 30 seconds to set up.  Professional and courteous customer representatives dedicated to each caller.  No busy signals.  Excellent answer times.  Ease of showing means the opportunity for more showings.  Track and review feedback comments you've received from agents showing your property.  Trained and responsible staff are able to handle sellers more professionally.  Centralized Showings - makes listings easier to show after most offices have closed.  Sellers are better informed of activity on their listings.

We believe every customer is important. We believe that their questions should be answered by experienced people who are committed to being knowledgeable and diligent.

Being big is not our goal and being great is not good enough. Our goal is simple, it has to be exceptional service, and that’s the Royal Shell way. We don’t work 9-5, we work start to finish. We are career minded professionals who understand the worries that accompany making such a major decision. We have a hands-on business philosophy which is especially important in an area as unique as the South Florida: we are in total control of all of our business matters at all times. We are flexible to each unique situation with management always available to help, guide or support.

We believe in promoting further education.
