Everyone, this is Bill from the BillHeenan team at William Raveis Real Estate.

I'm standing here today in my call center/training center in New London, Connecticut, and I wanted to talk a little bit about Inside Sales Teams.

Yes, Inside Sales Teams.

It's not really a piece of topic that you hear about quite very often in my world. I don't know that anybody really, other than us, that has a true Inside Sales team. A true team of people sitting in the back room there. We have a call center just behind me through some doors in there. We call it our bullpen. And I have a group of people in there from 9 to 5, Monday through Friday. Their job is to reach into our greater than 18,000 registered website users about your listing. About our listings. Trying to generate more dialogue. Trying to put more eyeballs on your property. Trying to generate and put together more showings. Because we know the more showings we have, the more buyers we have, the more offers we have. And ultimately, the more offers we have, the more money we get YOU. Inside Sales Team. I don't think you’ve hear that very often, but that's what we specialize in. The statistics from that Inside Sales Team is incredible. We ran the numbers for the first half of 2022. We've sold well over 207 homes at this point, and 100 listings were sellers. Our average sales price versus list price is 101%. So let me say that again, our average sales price versus list price at the time it went under contract is 101%.

101% of your LIST PRICE

So, on average, we are selling homes for more money than we're listing them for, even though you're hearing a lot of the national news saying home sales are slowing down. What that means is if I list your house for $300,000, which is about our average sales price at this point, then I'm selling it or my team and I are selling it for $303,000. That might not seem like a lot, but what do you get to sell any time in your lifetime where you have an asking price (that you know is already a stretch number), and yet we get you more than that stretch number. So, our Inside Sales Team is probably one of the biggest tools that we use in order to make a difference between what we do as a team and what any other agents or teams or offices are doing at this point in our marketplace.

So once again, if you want some more information or have more questions about that, you could always visit us on our website at www.billheenan.net, or reach out to me directly on my cell phone at 860-460-8053.

And remember, in today's market, it takes a team to win.
