Most real estate blogs will tell you all the reasons why you should hire them.

We’re going to take a different approach.

Here’s the truth: not every homeowner is the right fit for us—and we’re not the right fit for every homeowner. Our job isn’t to convince you; it’s to be upfront, so you know exactly what kind of team you’d be working with.

So, if any of the reasons below sound like you, we may not be the team to sell your home in Orange County, NY—whether that’s Warwick, Goshen, Monroe, Middletown, Newburgh, Minisink, or beyond.

1. You Want the Cheapest Option

If you’re looking for the lowest commission, there are plenty of agents who will gladly take the listing, put it on the MLS, and wait. That’s not us.
We invest heavily in professional marketing—photography, drone tours, staging, targeted ads, and digital strategy—because our clients expect premium results. That kind of exposure requires resources, time, and expertise.

If discounting is more important than results, we’re not your team.

2. You Don’t Want Honest Feedback

We’re not “yes-people.”
If your price expectations are unrealistic, we’ll tell you. If repairs or staging will make you more money, we’ll recommend it. We’d rather lose a listing than tell you what you want to hear and waste months chasing a number the market won’t support.

If you’d prefer someone to nod along and agree with everything, you won’t enjoy working with us.

3. You Think Selling Is Just Putting a Sign in the Yard

Today’s buyers are scrolling online before they ever step foot in your driveway. Selling a home in Warwick, Goshen, Monroe, Middletown, Minisink, or Newburgh takes far more than a “For Sale” sign:

• Market analysis

• Strategic pricing

• Digital storytelling

• Local SEO

• Buyer targeting

If you believe all it takes is a listing and luck, we’ll feel like we’re speaking different languages.

4. You Want to Stay in Control of Every Detail

Our best results come when clients trust our process. We have systems for marketing, showings, negotiation, and contract-to-close management.
If you’re looking to micromanage every decision—or prefer to “try it your way” first—we’ll both end up frustrated.

5. You Believe Any Realtor Can Do the Job

In New York, it’s surprisingly easy to get a real estate license. But the difference between an agent who closes a few deals a year and a team that negotiates dozens each month is enormous.
We live and breathe this market. We study data, predict shifts, and leverage our network across Warwick, Goshen, Monroe, Middletown, Newburgh, and Minisink every single day.

If you believe “all agents are the same,” then you’ll miss the difference in results.

6. You Don’t Value Negotiation

Selling a home isn’t just about finding a buyer—it’s about negotiating the strongest offer, avoiding costly pitfalls, and protecting you through closing.
We don’t take shortcuts in negotiations, and we don’t recommend choosing an offer just because it’s the first one.

If speed matters more to you than strategy, another agent may be a better fit.

Final Word: We’d Rather Be Honest Than Popular

This may sound strange for a real estate team to say—but we’d rather turn away business than mislead homeowners about what it really takes to sell in today’s market.

If you’re looking for honesty, strategy, and a team that treats your biggest asset like their own—you’ll probably like us.
If not, that’s okay. You deserve the right fit.
