The Neighborhood Experts at Platinum Real Estate offer a sizzling synergy that impacts their approach to home-selling.

“We love what we do, and so do local buyers and sellers,” says Mark Zervos, who, along with his wife, Denise, has been in real estate for the past 28 years.

“Our team has a vast array of specialties and perspectives that comes together nicely. Whether you’re buying or selling a home, we bring a dynamic and creative energy that makes things happen.”

The results speak for themselves. Mark mentions that over the past year, Platinum agents have been able to get their clients an average of 97.6% of their asking price, which is well above the standard. Since 1990, he reports, they’ve sold nearly a billion dollars in property.

Spring Forecast: Hot, Hot, Hot
Mark and Denise report their Neighborhood Experts team is enjoying an especially brisk spring of home selling.

“We are seeing low inventory of homes for sale, and buyers are waiting for their dream home,” she says. “To address this, we’ve repositioned our unique marketing strategy to bring the highest interest level when the home first hits the market by implementing an aggressive pre-market campaign.”

As a recent case study, she discusses a home the team sold in Chardon. They focused on the home’s unique highlights and targeted buyers who would be the best fit. They worked together to pinpoint the right buyer for the home, which was situated on 15 acres of land. They looked at hunters and horse owners, and those who Denise calls the “give-me-land-lots-of-land-and-the-starry-skies-above” type of person.

“We launched a coming-to-market-soon campaign, building buzz online through targeted ads that reached 4,339 people in 24 hours,” she says.

“As soon as the home came on the market, we already had 13 showings booked with pre-approved buyers. The result? The home sold for full price in two days with favorable terms.”

Meet the Platinum Team
Sitting down with the core group of agents, asking them what they loved best about their jobs, the words “synergy” and “supportive environment” kept coming up. Here’s what they had to say:

Jared Bush

“As our team’s lead marketing manager, I enjoy overseeing and working with our creative design team to market our clients’ properties in print, on social media platforms and website ads. We believe each home is unique and should be treated as such. All members of our team feel like family. They always pitch in to help each other.”

Ryan Weber

“As a local firefighter, helping others has always been my passion. I see becoming a Realtor as an extension of that. I enjoy getting to know clients and their needs, and then finding the perfect-fit dream home for them.”

Brian Haller

“From my work as a local law enforcement officer, my people skills and expertise at negotiating have been a great fit in real estate. Along with Ryan, I oversee and manage our Hometown Heroes program, which gives special rebates to firefighters, police officers, military, teachers and neighborhood heroes who deserve our appreciation.”

Lee Jarocki

“I always strive to rise above client expectations. When people tell me they are looking for a dream house, I explain to them that I’m going to find them a home, not just a house. I’m flexible and patient throughout the process and that helps.”

Erin Paglio

“The home selling and buying process can be stressful for clients, and it’s my job to absorb any of that stress so it doesn’t affect them. Professionalism and integrity play a role in every step of the process.”

Allyson Luedders

“I am motivated by helping people and making them comfortable throughout the process. As a new Realtor to this team, I’m pleased to be learning from the best.”
