What’s the difference between a Realtor with a Sales person’s license, and a Realtor with a Broker’s license?

As a Broker, Connie De Groot holds the highest license one can obtain to practice Real Estate.

Connie has been a licensed broker since 2007. The majority of agents do not hold a broker’s license. Brokers must have a higher level of education in Real Estate, they take more continuing education courses, and they pay higher fees than those with a Sales Associate license. Consequently, Brokers are held to a higher standard because of their additional knowledge and insight. This obviously provides an added benefit to clients they represent. In your search for an agent, ask yourself: who will keep me safest, and do the best job protecting my interests?

Connie has never had a listing fall out of escrow, even though the national average is 51%. Once you’re in escrow, you will close.

Connie achieves this success by being present at every single step of the home selling process. Even a seemingly simple home inspection is a critical juncture. Many things are often discovered. Buyers may have buyer’s remorse, get cold feet and/or ask for a significant credit. They may even have a complete change of heart. For this reason, Connie is always there to help the process stay on track and to deal with any issues at the time they are discovered. In short, When you hire Connie, you get CONNIE.

“I anticipate client needs, which is key to a smooth transaction,” Connie says. “My clients tend to be very busy people, and my proactive approach ensures that they can enjoy their busy lives while l work effectively in the background. My clients and business partners can rely on me to take care of every detail to ensure business is handled in the right way. I do my best to take the worry out of the transaction.”

In the past few years, Connie has added something very special to her service: she now helps renovate and/or refresh her clients’ homes before putting them on the market. If needed, she brings her team to the property, obtains bids to repair/replace/redesign, assists in the negotiation, and oversees the almost-daily work that may be required until work is completed. She is involved making it easier on the homeowner.

Most importantly, this service has resulted in almost immediate offers, as well as multiple offers. These outcomes even happen with properties that had been on the market for long periods.

“I am very optimistic and see opportunities everywhere,” she adds. “I don’t give up in difficult situations and remain focused to ensure success for my clients.”

Ms. De Groot serves a diverse customer base, including high-net worth and high-profile individuals as well as those from more modest backgrounds. Connie offers a personalized, full-service experience to every client.

With over 20 years of experience, Connie has sold distinctive homes in some of the most coveted neighborhoods in Los Angeles as well as outside California.
