Vickie Berry works together in a team with Chris Hills as the buyers representative. The team focus of "List, Sell, Manage" is designed to provide you with the right combination of skills to sell your property even in a difficult market. Vickie's role in “List, Sell, Manage” is to focus on the buyer. Vickie has an established database of buyers, and is actively searching out buyers for team properties. Equally, she spends time understanding exactly what each buyer is looking for, so matching buyers to the right property is quicker – ensuring a faster sale. Unlike a “buyer’s agent”, Vickie does not work for the buyer, but with them, to maximise the number of buyers available to introduce to the team’s property portfolio. In this market it is important to continually communicate with buyers so that they come to you first when looking for their new home or investment. Vickie utilises many tools to maintain contact with her buyer base, such as distributing the LJ Hooker buyers guide, assisting them with finance through LJ Hooker Financial Services and utilising tools such as social media, e-mail and a dedicated buyer’s phone line. “In a down market, working constantly with buyers is even more important than ever before. Seeking out buyers and being proactive in communicating with buyers will, I believe, be key to success in the current market conditions.”
