15th Annual Business Expo in St. George

The 15th Annual St. George Area Business Expo kicked off today.

It is located in The Dixie Center at 1835 S. Convention Center Drive.  The Expo features business exhibits – approx. 150 businesses will be represented. 

Last year the Expo had between 8000 and 9000 visitors.  Refreshments will be served and it’s a great opportunity for local businesses owners to network. It’s also great for residents to find out which businesses are located in the area.

The theme is “Big League Business” – inline with the growth projections for the next decade in southern Utah. 

More and more businesses are finding that St. George is an excellent place to relocate and expand their current operations. With lower cost of living, housing prices, and competitive wages than southern and northern California – it makes for a great alternative.  These factors and those like the future airport and strong infrastructure are attracting businesses from all over the country.

If you are considering relocating your business we’d love to help you. We have agents that specialize in southern Utah commercial real estate purchases and leases. So visit our site!

See you at the Expo!

Why Use a Realtor?

When our licensed agents go out on listing appointments we know that there is a lingering question…Why should I use a Realtor/Agent?  We try to educate people on our services and help them understand how we can assist in selling the property and giving sound advice on real estate issues.

There are a few key points that help answer this question that we focus on:

1. Limit your liability. This doesn’t mean that we accept liability for you :-) This means that we can make sure all your “bases” are covered. From contracts to inspections - A good agent should be working on your behalf to resolve those issues so there are no miscommunications where a buyer/seller could end up in court if they didn’t take proper care.

2. Maximum exposure. In a time where it’s a buyer’s market sellers need to get maximum exposure for their property.  Busy agents and brokerages usually have many buyers looking for the right property to come on the market, but if it doesn’t hit the MLS or other mainstream marketing mediums – those buyers will never see your home.  This includes : MLS listings, agent exclusive publications, classifieds, craigslist, signs, flyers, open houses/tours, virtual tours, WEBSITE listings, etc.

3. Pay for Performance. This is one of the last true pay-for-performance professions. You can call an attorney or accountant and ask questions and you’ll get a bill. You can call and ask real estate questions to a broker and you pay nothing unless you decide to sell or buy a home!  We get paid only if we perform a huge task. It’s not something that can be broken down to an hourly wage and billed hourly.  Agents front all expenses for the owner and then they only get back the investment if they perform.  In a down market this is great for a seller because someone else is taking all the short-term financial risk.

These are just a few key points that help answer the main questions, but there are many more reasons. If you’d like me to show you how we can get maximum exposure for your property in St. George or southern Utah, limit your legal liability, and only pay for performance…visit our website today. I’d love to discuss your situation and give you my professional opinion.
