The Service Team

We’re called ‘The Service Team’ and our goal has always been to do more work for the same amount of money,” says Larissa Benson, Re/Max Realtor/Owner. The Service Team’s philosophy is simply stated: “Do a better job on every property.” Because people have seen that they do a better job on each property, her business with only her and one assistant had grown based on reputation and word-of-mouth alone. “We try and take it to a different level and offer a stream-lined process as a service. We make it easier for both buyers and sellers. My company may not seem as profitable as other REO companies, but it is because we get more volume by doing a better job for our clients,” she says. The Service Team also targets buyers who plan to occupy the homes. This is especially evident when viewers of their listings have access to more photos than they see on most other listings. “It’s also providing a benefit to the community, especially when we repair so many of the properties. They start to look good… they sell better and they sell for more,” says Sarah, Office Manager for The Service Team. “It’s a boost to the area’s economy when neighborhoods don’t deteriorate.” Making sure their REO listings show like regular homes is not what people expect of a team that specializes in Foreclosures. The Service Team, is working hard to remove the fear of REO properties and striving to make it easy for all
