About Fabe Fedrigo
During the past ten years in real estate, I’ve been working with sellers, buyers, builders, estates and lawyers. Through this time, I have learned valuable lessons and insights into what client’s value and attach importance to and how to deliver exceptional real estate services.
Client Service
Give the best and then some. This is more than being a recognized name. It means caring and being there for every aspect of the process during this emotional and hectic period in a family’s life. It requires understanding and resourcefulness to deal with unexpected situations as well as the ability to problem solve and successful complete the transaction. As one client expressed “you are almost part of the family”
Marketing
Don’t be like everyone else. Every home has a natural ambience and attraction. Marketing material and strategies need to be designed to capture and showcase the home’s inherent special features. It’s that ability to capture those elements that make a home standout, in the buyer’s perception. This attention to detail is vital to reduce the time on the market and increase the home’s value during negotiations. One client put it succinctly “this is Fabe’s forte”
Market Knowledge
You deserve the best. Confidence comes from first hand experience of your realtors’ market knowledge and seeing it in action. A comprehensive comparative market analysis is the starting point. This combined with an ability to identify and communicate the “value added” items in your home and neighbourhood is essential to confidently accept your Realtor’s ability to deliver on their promise. One client put it best “you sold my home for more than I ever expected”
Negotiations
Where it really counts. Being a brand name or a providing low commissions does not make one a skilled negotiator. Understanding the complexities of the variables involved such as timing, inclusions/exclusions, buyer and seller motivation, market conditions and the strategic use of information will get the deal done at the right price. One client put it this way “I appreciate that you would not accept a low offer just to get a sale”
Non-judgmental
Keep the faith. When things don’t go according to Hoyle it is easy to blame, criticize, fault and/or get angry about the situation or with a person. Keeping a positive forward momentum always leads to a favourable outcome. A client stated it best when they said “he believed it was worth more”.
Danielle Olscamp-Fedrigo – Administration Manager
As a past Fund Developer with The Community Foundation of Oakville, one of Canada’s top 10 Community Foundations, I helped raise $1.3M to build 57 km. of the Oakville Heritage Trails while working in partnership with the Town of Oakville. I was also part of the Great Dream Home Lottery as the Event Planner for the lottery. The lottery raised 7.8M in 7 years and all proceeds went back to local charities. I was also the Event Planner at Ian Anderson House, a non-profit cancer hospice where I developed and organized events to help with the annual operating budget. They celebrated the IAH 10th Annual Walk/Run this year which is still one of their best fundraiser. Another side of me that is equally valuable to real estate is my decorating flair. I have been doing home staging for Fabe and truly enjoy it. This experience has been instrumental in shaping my business outlook and approaches to getting things completed successfully. As a result I have very definite ideas on the key elements of our real estate business and have been working with Fabe for the past 4 years. Client Care: No task is too big or too small. In this business every client is unique. In the process of selling or buying a home the number of details that have to be managed sometimes can overwhelm the most organized person. I have found that clients will reach out in small and big ways for help. It can be something as simple as picking up the kids from school one afternoon or shop for select accessories to make a room standout to “yes” even planning a wedding. No matter what the need, I do try to make this process as stress-free as possible for our clients. Marketing Material: Market exposure is the key to getting it sold. That means providing information to the right people in the right way. When I create feature brochures, marketing flyers, advertising and website advertising, my goal is to reflect the quality and value of a clients’ property. My vision is to make the home come alive for buyers through photos and descriptions that reflect the true character of the home. Client Management: Ensuring that clients know we appreciate them is critical. We know from client surveys that the service we provide is very much appreciated. We also want them to know that we appreciate the opportunity that they have given us. The best way I know to share our appreciation with clients is to provide them with a thank you at every opportunity. I believe that our monthly newsletter, anniversary notices, discount coupons and neighbourhood updates are our way of trying to constantly say thank you.
