Vincent made it through our selection process with flying colors and we used him to sell multiple homes for us. If you want to know a little about our selection process, read below. Suffice it to say, Vincent should be on the short list of agents you are considering to use. 5 stars - no hesitation. I've been buying, selling, investing and managing real estate for over 30 years. I was formally a licensed real estate broker, dealing with commercial properties in NY and CA. So, some might think that when it came to selling my own home(s), I'd somehow do it myself. Wrong. That wasn't my specialty, so like most people I had to select an agent. I'm so surprised to see people entrusting the handling of the sale of their home (possibly their single most valuable asset to someone for all the wrong reasons (i.e. a friend, a friend of a friend, "they got a mailer," etc.). No one likes to pay those …
Vincent made it through our selection process with flying colors and we used him to sell multiple homes for us. If you want to know a little about our selection process, read below. Suffice it to say, Vincent should be on the short list of agents you are considering to use. 5 stars - no hesitation. I've been buying, selling, investing and managing real estate for over 30 years. I was formally a licensed real estate broker, dealing with commercial properties in NY and CA. So, some might think that when it came to selling my own home(s), I'd somehow do it myself. Wrong. That wasn't my specialty, so like most people I had to select an agent. I'm so surprised to see people entrusting the handling of the sale of their home (possibly their single most valuable asset to someone for all the wrong reasons (i.e. a friend, a friend of a friend, "they got a mailer," etc.). No one likes to pay those big commissions. It may seem like all an agent does is list the property on-line. For some, that is almost all they do and hope a buyer finds it and buys it. So, is that your plan? Instead, my wife and I found what agents specialized in our market and type of home. Who were the top agents in the local offices? Each office or franchise has a certain vibe or reputation. What agents had sales that would rank them among the most successful in their office, region and in the Country? How many years of experience did they have? Then, we'd interview the top candidates. Each interview would last at least an hour. We'd ask them tough questions. Such as, tell us actual stories about how you resurrected a deal, how you went over and above the call of duty, what was the hardest challenge you had to overcome in a transaction, and so on. We stuck to actual events, not hypotheticals. Obviously, we asked detailed/specific questions about their marketing plan, what sets them apart from their competitors, what sets their firm apart from their competitors and so on. This agent will represents you. Would you like working with them? Would others (agents and buyers) like working with them? How are their communication skills? Are they presentable? Are they likable and disarming? Are they too confident? Do they know when to speak and when not to speak? How do they conduct an open house? Are they too pushy? Will they listen, take a sincere interest in you and your questions - that's how they'll deal with buyers? If you were a buyer would you work with them? Do they have contractor and staging resources, if the need arises? Are they easily reachable and will return your call? Do they take the listing and they assign it to a "team member?" That's just the beginning, because what you're really paying for is how they will handle the "what ifs" that happen in a transaction. If things go sideways, will they know what to do and how to do/execute it as well as what not to do? Obviously, our agent had to be an honest and ethical agent. Keep in mind that a successful agent's time is worth at least $100/hour - whether he/she is sitting at an open house, working on your marketing plan, or working on the specifics or logistics of a deal. Your agent has a lot to deal with. There's always a chance that the market is so hot, it sells in a day. Well, good for you. But more than likely the agent will spend a lot of hours and money on mailings, front or back cover ads, podcasts productions, photographs, 3-D tours, videos (drone footage), come to each showing, etc. You usually get what you paid for so if you want cheap, you'll get cheap. My advice is don't cheap out. Go all in and pick the best agent you can find. There may only be one buyer for your home and you don't want to lose that buyer by something your agent did or didn't do. Best of luck in your search.
When my parents passed away recently, I was the executor in charge of selling their house. I had an agent I've worked with in the past who is excellent. He helped me sell a property that no one else could, so of course I decided to work with him again to sell my parents' house. As a courtesy to a close friend, I spoke with Vincent Morris before I signed an agreement with my guy. I'm so glad I did. Vincent blew my guy away with his presentation and his plan. We discussed options, and Vincent even presented the option of me accepting a pre-listing offer that was on the table, with him guiding me through the process while making zero commission. What kind of an agent does that? I'll tell you: one with integrity and a sincere desire to do what's right for his client. I hired Vincent and his team, and they exceeded my very high expectations.

We discussed options, and Vincent even presented the option of me accepting a pre-listing offer that was on the table, with him guiding me through the process while making zero commission. What kind of an agent does that? I'll tell you: one with integrity and a sincere desire to do what's right for his client. I hired Vincent and his team, and they exceeded my very high expectations. It was a truly collaborative process throughout and my concerns were always heard and addressed. Every piece of advice he gave was given from the perspective of ROI. "Will this expenditure pay for itself and then some?" "Is that decision colored by emotion and a waste of money?" "Does this appeal to buyers or would that appeal to them more?" Time and time again, Vincent proved himself to be an expert so I quickly learned to trust him and follow his advice. The result is that my parents' house sold for $120,000 over asking price. We had to stop accepting offers after only a few days. On the second day, we had a lady standing on the sidewalk in front of it crying because she wanted it so badly, but couldn't keep up with the quickly escalating bidding war. Keep in mind that before I hired Vincent, this was an ordinary home in an ordinary neighborhood. Vincent turned it into something special. By following his advice, we were able to realize every dollar that my parents intended to leave to me and my siblings. If I ever have the opportunity to work with Vincent and his team again, I will not hesitate to do so. My strong recommendation is that you do the same.
It is without any hesitation that I recommend Vincent Morris as a real estate agent. Vincent was very professional from start to finish with the sale of our home. He had an excellent attitude at all times and really listened to what we had to say rather than forcing his own opinion on us. Vincent’s knowledge and understanding of the market were evident from the beginning and he was able to clearly communicate it to us in a way that made it easy to trust his valuation of our property. We also really appreciated his well-thought-out planning and detailed schedule throughout the entire transaction. For example, starting from setting the target open-house date and working backward to how/when to prepare outsides, moving out date, staging the interior, and even replacing some of the floorings, he really thought of everything. We appreciated the ease of the closing on the property, he and his …

We appreciated the ease of the closing on the property, he and his team were easy to communicate with and always quick to get back to us with a response to any question or concern we had. He worked smoothly with the buyer’s agent as well, handling the details properly and to our complete satisfaction on the Inspector report. I would and have recommended Vincent to friends and family!
First off, we are really lucky and grateful to have found someone who is trustworthy, client-focused, and experienced as Pacific Sotheby's International Realty's best Realtor® agent, Vincent Morris. He has intimate knowledge of our Carlsbad neighborhood and has a vast network within his company as additional resources. Best of all, when you're ready to sell your house, Vincent shines in getting the deal done in your favor! When Vincent met us for the first time he was so friendly, professional, and compassionate. We immediately took a liking to him and knew he was the one we wanted to sell our home to. Nancy and I had several potential Realtor® agents in mind; however, it was a breath of fresh air to find a person who stood head over heels above any other agent we've met. Although true we've had good Realtors® in the past selling our homes which included, but were not limited to our home…
