About Remerica

FRUSTRATED?

Trying to sell your home the traditional ways can be frustrating. Perhaps you've tried marketing your home with another real estate company, a company that made some attractive promises, but in the end, failed to sell your home. Or maybe you've even tried to market your home "For Sale by Owner", and met with even more frustration, with no-shows, unqualified buyers and offers that were absurdly low.

And now you have a house that hasn't sold. What do you do?

CALL REMERICA

Yes, we understand your reluctance to market your home with another realtor. But, Remerica is different from every other real estate company in the country - different in ways that you'll see immediately. When you enter into a marketing agreement with Remerica it's your agreement subject to your satisfaction. You're not obligated to fulfill any contractual time period, because we don't require it. You can cancel the agreement at any time with proper notice. But once you've seen how we work at Remerica, we don't think you'll cancel... and here is why:

REAL ESTATE IS ALL WE DO

At Remerica we focus all our efforts on selling real estate and only real estate. That's a big difference from real estate companies owned by insurance firms, department stores and hotel franchisers. Our offices are independently owned and operated by some of the most experienced, motivated and marketwise real estate brokers in the country. You have the full attention and constant support of professionals whose only job is to sell your home.


HOW WE DO IT

Let's face it, there are two ways an agent can sell your home. First there's the right way, which takes hard work, energy, continual advertising, follow-up, and a deep understanding of real estate. Then there is the other way.

You may already be familiar with "the other way" but at Remerica we sell homes the right way. We have an advertising program that includes home magazines, newspapers, Internet exposure and mailings - all in the effort to gain maximum exposure for your home. We constantly follow up on all leads. Even if your home is shown by another company's agent, we call that agent to get feedback on the showing of your home, and communicate any buyer concerns or observations. In short, we stay in touch with you.

We know the market and can help you with ideas about presenting your home to prospects because even the little things can make the difference between a buyers' indecision and a closing handshake. We can also offer a Remericaguard® Home Warranty that will make your home that much more attractive to a potential buyer. Most importantly we know our jobs. We understand that our responsibility is to sell your home. We are proud to say that we have all the experience and marketing know-how to get that job done.

THE REMERICA RECORD

At Remerica we have been setting performance records in real estate that no other company can claim. We consistently rank far above the national average for real estate sold by agents. There's a reason for that customer satisfaction. We operate under philosophies and procedures born of years of experience in satisfying home sellers. Instead of the red tape and bureaucratic sluggishness that are typical of most of our competitors, Remerica is structured to respond quickly, capably and effectively, to get an early closing on your home.

 
At Remerica we are setting the standards today to realize immediate success as well as continued growth and prosperity for our company, our agents, our clients and our customers.

REMERICA: TRUE REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS

Real estate is our only Business. We're not owned, operated, or affiliated in any way with a larger parent company whose interests may be divided among a number of diversified activities. We are one thing only... real estate specialists. It is with this in mind that we have developed a company that offers unparalleled benefits to it's clients, customers and agents combined.

A HISTORY OF EXPERIENCE

Remerica was built on a foundation of knowledge acquired from years of experience in the real estate industry. Our founder, James Courtney, has been involved with the real estate industry since the 1960's. His many significant achievements indicate the caliber of his work as well as the reasons for his impeccable reputation in the field today.

In 1974, Jim and three partners purchased the exclusive rights to market franchises for Century 21 in the state of Michigan. Jim became Marketing Director for Century 21 of Michigan and was instrumental in opening it's first 35 franchised offices. Then, in 1980, Century 21 of Michigan was sold back to Century 21 International so Jim would be free to open his own offices. He formed a new management partnership and went on to build three of the top offices in Michigan.

Because of the phenomenal success of these offices, they were eventually purchased by Coldwell Banker. Jim and his highly successful management team stayed with Coldwell Banker after being asked to assist them during their transition into this new market. But after their experiences with what they felt were slow moving bureaucratic real estate companies, Jim and his team realized that there was a need for a better way to help their sales organization serve the public, and together they founded Remerica.

A STRONG PAST - A BRIGHT FUTURE

Remerica's sensible philosophies and practical operating procedures stem from our founder's history of active management with two of the largest firms in the real estate business. It is through these past experiences that we have gained the insight to build and manage what is becoming the country's most effective and efficient real estate operation.

We invite you to experience the Remerican dream today. Whether you're interested in buying a home, selling your home, or becoming a partner, you'll find what you're looking for at Remerica.
