All property is local and can never overestimate the importance of retaining a realtor living and primarily doing business locally. Leighton Realty understands the local market better than anyone else and has a staff who are thoughtful, attentive and make excellent impression on potential buyers. We made the mistake of first retaining a realtor who has dealings all over the Cape and our property was virtually invisible for half a year. Once we switched to Leighton, who had represented us as buyer agent 15 years ago on this home, our property had an attentive audience and we believe found the right buyers as much as a year before it otherwise would have.
The Leighton Team was excellent from the market appraisal on my property to the care and detail they exhibited for the closing. I have bought and sold many properties in my career and this was one of the best experiences I have had. Although the entire process went smoothly, two items I was especially impressed with (1) the property appraisal - very comprensive and (2) the Closing Coordinator - detail oriented and great follow-through.
