The Giant Group Columbia Listing Presentation

MEET THE TEAM

JENNIFER RAMEY, LA JEFFE

In 2015 Jennifer and her family decided to settle in the CSRA when her husband retired to Ft. Gordon and she could finally pursue her own career. Being too old to follow her lifelong dream of fire fighting, real estate seemed an equally hazardous career, with less knee pain. Always being a team player, she drew from her years of basketball and roller derby coaching to start a real estate team, she started the Giant Group in 2017 and has never looked back. With small teams that cover all of the CSRA, Lexington/Columbia and Central FL she enjoys empowering home buyers and sellers to accomplish their real estate goals no matter how big or small.

VICKI FLORES, LEAD GA TEAM AGENT

Vicki relocated from Summerville, SC to the Grovetown area in 2011 with her family as part of a military move. In 2017 after purchasing her second home, she decided to give real estate a shot and hasn’t looked back since! She loves working with buyers, sellers and investors alike. She is committed to educating and making the process as smooth and fun as possible. Vicki specializes in first time home buyers, investment properties and military families currently not stationed in GA/SC looking to buy or sell. When not selling real estate, she loves to read, be on the lake and spend time with her family and little yorkipoo, Biggie Smalls.

MICHELLE YANDLE, LEAD SC TEAM AGENT

Michelle was born and raised in Columbia County, GA. She moved to Charlotte, NC in 2009 where she eventually met her husband, Jon, and they moved back to the Augusta area in 2016 after their son, Odin, was born. Michelle and her family are now proud residents of Lexington County, SC! She is licensed in both SC & GA and prides herself in her knowledge of both the CSRA, as well as the Midlands and surrounding areas. If you’re ready to purchase or sell a home in either market, then Michelle is your girl!

Born in Florida but raised in Texas; I am a SOUTHERN girl through and through. I moved to Georgia in 2011 where I got my Associates Degree in Business and worked as a manager for several years.

During my downtown I like to read mystery novels, play tennis, or spend time with my son, Landon. I love the client/customer relation side of the business and look forward to helping as many people as possible.

OUR CLIENTS ARE TOP PRIORITY

I’ve had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Jennifer and The Giant Group! They made everything as easy as they could with me selling my home while living states away. Even months after selling they continue to be ready and willing to help when I had questions regarding the sale of my home.

JAKE S

Jen Ramey is fantastic. We have used her for multiple home selling and buying transactions over the years, and she always takes great care of our family. Jen is so friendly and personable; she is always so wonderful with our daughter. And she is knowledgeable and uses her resources effectively to get the job done. Also, Jen is not afraid to be firm and stand up for a client in a tough situation, if such matters arise. Highly recommended!

RICHARD W

I first encountered Jennifer Ramey and The Giant Group team over two years ago and since I have purchased seven properties in the area. On every one of those transactions Jennifer and the members in The Giant Group have been involved in some aspect of those purchases. Jennifer and the team are very competent in their jobs and due to their knowledge, advice, and great work ethic they have helped me on my journey towards success in RE investing. They will continue to be a part of my real estate team and people that I can count on. Beyond them being professionals in what they do, they are also genuine and good people.

DEREK N

Jennifer never once disappointed, she was at the top of her game the entire time and worked none stop to sell our house. She is fantastic, with the skills of being a mother, wife, military wife and so much more she was so easy to work with and understand all my needs.

SELLING YOUR HOME

VOCABULARY FOR SELLING

AFFIDAVIT OF TITLE

This is a written statement essentially certifying that the recipient of this document possesses the property by title. It includes everything from your marital status to relevant dates.

AS-IS

Selling a house as is means that you will not have to make any repairs or correct any problems with your property upon sale.

BROKERAGE

An agency managing both the buying and selling of property for clients. Typically, in this case, a brokerage firm would represent you in the sale of your property.

CHAIN OF TITLE

Part of what’s important in the real estate industry is knowing the “timeline” of any piece of property so that there’s no confusion of who owns what and when. The “chain of title” is that timeline, showing all previous owners and conveyances from the very beginning of the construction of the home.

COMMISSION SPLIT

The seller will agree on a “split” between both the buyer’s agent/broker and the seller’s agent/broker as far as the commission is concerned.

APPRAISAL

The estimated market value as currently stipulated for any piece of property. Typically, an “appraiser” determines this value through comparables in your community.

BACK ON MARKET (BOM)

Sometimes, properties are removed from the market but can be placed back in due to a price change or reduction. As a home seller, you would want to stipulate that on a listing.

CAPITAL GAINS

If you have a high “capital gain,” you can celebrate; it means you’ve received a certain percentage of “profit” from the sale of your home because the sale was above the initial purchase price plus any fees.

CLOSING COSTS

The costs to complete a real estate transaction in addition to the price of the home may include points, taxes, title insurance, appraisal fees, and legal fees.

COMPETITIVE MARKET ANALYSIS

A CMA is a very detailed evaluation of specific homes listed or sold on the market based on location, style, and amenities similar to your property. Your agent completes this analysis to come up with an accurate price point.

CONTINGENCY

Certain requirements you expect from a buyer before a transaction is completed and a contract is bound. It can go both ways, buyer or seller.

DEPRECIATION

The value of your home dropping due to physical or functional deficiency.

ESCROW ACCOUNT

Account the earnest money is held in.

STAGING

This applies to repainting your home in neutral colors, placing your furniture and accessories in appealing ways to feature the home without clutter or personal items, allowing prospective buyers to see the features that matter the most.

UNDER CONTRACT

When you stipulate this in a listing, you ensure that a buyer has the exclusive dibs on a contract for the purchase of the house. No buyer can make a better offer in the hopes of stealing the bid.

COUNTEROFFER

When a buyer makes an offer on your house and you respond with your offer.

EARNEST MONEY

When a buyer offers money in “good faith” the moment an offer is made, it’s held in a trust account until closing commences

PENDING

When a contract has been agreed upon and completed (but the transaction has not taken place.

SURVEY

You could ask for the county to do this, as it typically involves measurement of lot lines, dimensions, and positioning, just to determine how much property you have, even outside the actual structure. Encroachments and easements are also determined, such as pathways and additions outside the lot lines.
