ANOTHER REASON!

Coldwell Banker Select has now implemented the HELP Program (Homeowner Education and Loan Protection), which includes job loss protection for homebuyers. Coldwell Banker Select has teamed up with Creative Alliances, LLC (Enhanced Marketing) and the Rainy Day Foundation (a non-profit organization), to offer this to area homebuyers.
The Job Loss Protection portion of HELP will assist buyers who purchase a Coldwell Banker Select enrolled property. In the event of an involuntary job loss within the first 24 months of the loan, the program covers mortgage payments up to $1,800 per month for up to 6 months. HELP also offers six months of telephone counseling and monthly educational e-newsletters. Job Loss Protection is an important and timely service which gives sellers a way to differentiate their properties and provide buyers the confidence to purchase.

Truth Versus Perception

If you want to sell your home, it is important to “select” the company and the associate who gives you the best opportunity to sell it for the best price. When making that decision, it is critical to rely on the facts rather than a perception.
For example, some companies use a name which might lead you to believe they are better at selling homes than other companies. Other brokers run big ads in the newspaper leading you to believe they sell lots of homes. Finally, a few sales associates have a pretty picture and fancy logo which they hope will cause you to think they sell lots of homes.
On the other hand, associates at Coldwell Banker Select Realtors have SOLD the most homes in the greater Tulsa area for the past 12 years. So far in 2009 Coldwell Banker Select associates have been involved in 400 homes sale sides more than our nearest competitor. That’s the truth!
Want to sell your home? It just makes sense to contact the associate, Sarah Launchbaugh, with the company, Coldwell Banker Select, which sells the most homes in the Tulsa area – by far.
