If you think all real estate companies are the same, think again. When we started Corus Home Realty in 2001, we did so with a passion for high customer service and excellent client representation. We never stopped asking the question:
"Can't real estate be run better?"
So we built Corus around the customer.
-
We don't keep our offices open 9am to 9pm, every day of the week because it's convenient!
We're here because we know buyers and sellers demand more when it comes to their largest transaction.
-
We understand that even the very best traditional agent can't be in two places at the same time. So we back
up our Home Specialists with a team who can help them when needed.
-
We know that an agent working alone can't possibly be an expert in graphics, marketing, law, market trend analysis, accounting, business development,
technology, etc. So we put together a team of specialized experts.
-
We realize that not every seller has the same needs. So we developed three different listing programs to meet the needs of different sellers.
What we have created is a company of fun, energetic, dedicated professionals all focused on providing what our clients want, need and deserve.
How "traditional" real estate companies work
In conventional real estate brokerages, each agent is independent and is responsible for all functions of their real estate business. This includes marketing,
accounting, working with buyers, working with sellers, open houses, contract negotiations, advertising and transaction management.
Brokerage support may be found in the form of brand advertising and cooperative listing advertising. The agent may rent office space, communications
and IT support from the brokerage but most agents report that the support they recieve is minimal. Traditional agents are paid only from the commissions they earn.
This is NOT a Corus team member
How we work
By contrast, the core element of Corus' business model is its use of teams of licensed agents working together on behalf of its clients. Each client is assigned a primary contact, but can
receive assistance from anyone on the team. This approach provides a superior client experience in a number of ways.
-
First, Corus team members are available from 9am to 9pm, 7 days a week. During those times, a Corus buyer-client, seller-client or potential
buyer of a Corus listing can receive immediate service. Since team members are available 12 hours daily, they can show client' homes at a moment's
notice, and in particular, can help homebuyers to beat competitors (who may be waiting on their independent agent) in identifying and buying sought-after homes.
-
Second, each team member has specialized expertise - in effect, clients receive the advice and representation of an expert in every element of the transaction,
which includes area neighborhoods, home marketing, negotiations and legal issues.
The passion of putting the client first drives Corus Home Realty's many innovations. For example:
Corus Home Centers - clients have access to all of the resources they need, without the sales pressure
Three levels of listing services - clients select a listing program that feels right for them
Corus Mobile Navigator - is a GPS powered tablet computer that goes in the client's car, pinpoints the location, plots an interactive map of the local area,
and displays individual home listings within that vicinity. CLients see pictures of the homes, sales prices and home features.
Since our inception, Corus Home Realty has had a passion for service and that dedication has lead to numberous awards and accolades. Most important
to us, however, is the 98.4% customer satisfaction rating our clients have given us along with their wonderful testimonials.
We started Corus because we knew that there had to be a better way. Almost half a billion dollars worth of real estate sales later, we are more
convinced than ever that we are revolutionizing this industry and the proof is in the satisfaction of our clients.
Simple. Innovative. Focused.
