THE INTERNET EMPOWERS REAL ESTATE BUYERS AND SELLERS by giving themthe ability to research homes and prices on their own.  Many Realtorshave been scared of this development … we embrace it.  Rather thanrestricting the MLS data, we want to make it easy to access.

Our websiteand daily email updates are valuable tools in learning about themarket.  Speaking with us, by telephone or e-mail also helps.  Manytimes we are able to focus your search into new areas or have ideasthat are not visible in the MLS data.  While we encourage and respectyour ability to search independently, we are here to help.

We pride ourselves on facilitating transactions, rather than beingsalespersons.  We never will push or use hard sell tactics.  You arethe principal in the transaction, you are the one who makes thedecision -- we are here to assist and provide data to help you makethis decision.

We don’t want to sound like machines or agents who do not providefull service -- we just want to you to know that we ourselves don’tlike pushy sales … so we don’t do it.  High energy, without highpressure.

Jordan Fainberg:

Jordan embraced the internet early in his real estate career. Hebelieves that the internet provides today’s clients unparalleledabilities to access and research their home search independently of aRealtor. In the past, the Realtors were “gatekeepers” of theinformation.

He also decided that his practice would be modeled after commercialreal estate practices focusing clients to their goals. He tries tomaintain a very business-like environment and utilizes technologywherever possible.

Jordan quickly outgrew the standard real estate website and in 2007created a standalone shadow MLS system. He is one a few agents whogathers the complete MLS databaseand then stores it in within his own system. This allows for muchquicker, accurate and customized searches -- giving his web visitorsand clients the most robust experience. The daily updates have becomevery popular among his clients.

His business background has given him the ability to understand andwork through non-typical transactions. From today’s short sales tocomplex financing he is able to assist his clients and has theconfidence to research the answers if he does not know them.
