A: The journey to find your perfect real estate match with HOBNOB is unique to each individual and can vary in duration. This timeline is shaped by factors like your specific budget, the type of property you're seeking, and what's happening in the market. At HOBNOB, we understand that finding the ideal property is crucial, our focus is always on quality and fit, not just speed, ensuring that when you do find your match, it's truly the right one for you.
A: Becoming a part of the HOBNOB community is 100% free. As for commissions, they vary based on the level of service you choose and whether you're already working with another agent. Let’s have a conversation to explore the options that suit your needs best.
A: Yes! Joining HOBNOB is a step towards understanding your options, not a commitment to buy or sell. It's a wise move to familiarise yourself with the market and possibilities. And when you're ready to take the next step, we'll be right here to guide you.
A: Absolutely! Whether your focus is solely on buying a dream home or selling a property, HOBNOB is fully equipped to cater to your specific needs. Our commitment to providing dedicated and personalised service remains steadfast, whether you are stepping into the market as a buyer or a seller. Our extensive network means we may already have eager buyers interested in a property like yours, or sellers who have just the home you're dreaming of. With HOBNOB, you're in the right place for any real estate endeavour.
A: Providing an exact sale price upfront is challenging due to the dynamic nature of the real estate market. However, we can certainly offer you an estimate at any point in time based on current market trends and your property's specifics. Once you're ready to sell, and as we engage with potential buyers, we'll be able to give you a more accurate figure.
A: Selling on a public MLS ® system is effective for many and undoubtably provides wide exposure. Yet, HOBNOB serves those looking for a different approach. We specialize in private, off-market opportunities, offering a service that is discreet and tailored to your needs. Our commitment to no upfront costs, contracts, and commitments ensures a low-stress experience. Furthermore, we conduct a detailed market analysis for each match, ensuring that our members receive fair market value for their homes. For those seeking an alternative, stress-free route in real estate, HOBNOB offers an expertly guided, unique selling experience. Plus, joining HOBNOB now doesn't prevent you from listing on MLS ® later, giving you the flexibility to choose the path that best suits your evolving needs.
A: While many real estate agents have their own networks, HOBNOB’s network stands apart for several key reasons. Firstly, our network is populated with actively engaged individuals who are ready to buy or sell, unlike a single agent’s network which may include contacts not currently active in the market.
Moreover, a typical agent’s network is often maintained with the primary goal of generating more business for the agent. In contrast, HOBNOB’s network is purposefully designed with your success in mind. Our focus is on creating the right match for you, whether you’re buying or selling. This member-centric approach ensures that our network serves your needs first, rather than just expanding an agent’s business.
In essence, HOBNOB’s network is not just about breadth, but about quality and alignment with your specific real estate goals, distinguishing it significantly from the networks maintained by individual agents.
A: At HOBNOB, we value professional integrity and have immense respect for fellow real estate professionals. Our policy on joining while working with another agent is as follows:
No, If Under a Listing Agreement
If you currently have a signed listing agreement with another REALTOR®, we cannot include your home in the HOBNOB network. This policy is in place to respect the existing professional relationship and comply with the RECO Code of Ethics.
Maybe, with Buyer's Representation Agreement
If you are under a signed Buyer's Representation Agreement, joining HOBNOB might still be possible. We will reach out to your REALTOR® for their written consent. If they agree, you can join our network. However, please note that in such cases, all communications will be conducted through your agent, and we will not be able to contact you directly.
Yes, in All Other Cases
If you’re not bound by any signed written agreements, we warmly welcome you to join HOBNOB. We believe in collaboration and are open to working alongside your existing agent to enhance your real estate opportunities. Upon joining, we’ll ask if you’re working with an agent so we can coordinate effectively, maintaining proper communication and respect for all parties involved.
Joining HOBNOB can open doors to a wider network and more possibilities, even when you're already working with an agent. Our goal is to complement and enhance your existing real estate journey.
A: At this time, HOBNOB's network is centered in Toronto, focusing on buyers and sellers within this area. However, we're not stopping there. We have plans to expand our services beyond Toronto and are excited about the possibilities. If you're interested in our services in other areas, please do reach out. Drop us a message with your details, and we'll ensure you're notified as soon as our network extends to new locations. We appreciate your interest and hope to accommodate your real estate needs in the future!
