Why Choose The Creig Northrop Team

Benefits of Using The Creig Northrop Team:

Availability - there is always a knowledgeable, well-informed team member available to highlight the features of your home and answer any question 7 days a week. All questions are handled promptly and efficiently.

Knowledge – The Creig Northrop Team knows the market inside and out. We average more years in the real estate profession and represent more buyers and sellers than the average agent. Most real estate agents sell 3-5 homes per year.* Our agents average 24 homes per year! The result? The knowledge of what it takes to achieve the best possible results for you in the shortest period of time – whether you’re buying or selling.

Service – We provide frequent feedback on showings which lets you know how your home compares to similar ones in the marketplace. Our team is always ready to adjust to a changing market & are constantly monitoring market conditions. Every Sales Agent works full-time and carries a Smart Phone for quicker response times.

Signage – Our For Sale signs permeate the area which bring in, on average, 300-400 buyer calls per month. Our signs also include our website, a text rider for buyers to get immediate access to property information, and full color brochures.

Exposure- Effective advertising campaigns in over 45 different newspapers and real estate publications, and advertising your home through the Multiple Listing Service ensures that all Sales Agents in the DC/Metro area are aware of your home and its features. We market on websites that reach over millions of prospective buyers. We reach buyers through print advertising, direct mail, email campaigns, open houses, tradeshows, charity events, and are always adding new features to our marketing to create excitement and enthusiasm for each and every one of our listings.

Pricing -We conduct in depth research of current market conditions to pinpoint the list price. Homes priced correctly lead to a quicker sale and maximum sale price.

Negotiations - Perhaps our greatest strength is our ability to negotiate on your behalf. Some Sales Agents are good at marketing, some at relationship building, but few have significant and proven negotiating skills. Proper negotiating can lead to getting a home sold or purchased and save you money in the long run. Your home is always a valuable investment and we treat it as such.

We’re Connected - We have a strong network in the Real Estate Community. Our network is not just limited to our office or company, it stretches to all of the Sales Agents we have worked with. We keep constant, professional communication lines open so you have an advantage in the marketplace.

Results – We are committed to excellence and are focused on one goal: serving you, our customer, getting you the results you desire, and it shows in every single transaction. We have a proven record of success - year after year!
