< Back Rodrigo Serrano REALTOR® Rodrigo is a loyal and caring person who also does real estate – in that order. He is grounded in old-fashioned family values, which undoubtedly shows in his approach with his clients. When speaking with his clients about their experience working with Rodrigo, what comes up over and over again is how patient he was; how he never rushed them into making a decision or misguided them; how they felt that he was always protecting and advocating for them; that at the end of the process, they no longer saw him as their realtor, but as a friend or even a member of their family. This is what distinguishes Rodrigo from the pack. Rodrigo is a Winchester native who has been a Realtor since 2002. He is one of the area’s top producers, having earned many awards including the distinguished RE/MAX Chairman Status and RE/MAX Platinum Awards. Rodrigo has been in the top 1% of realtors across New England for the past 6 years. Rodrigo’s father is from Chile and his mother is from Spain. As a result, he is not only bilingual, but also grew up traveling to both countries to visit family. He married his high school sweetheart, Noel, who is Italian. He now has added Italy as a frequent traveling destination. Despite his international background, Rodrigo remains local and continues to live in Winchester. When Rodrigo is not working, you will likely find him playing soccer, on the golf course or hiking with Noel and their Puerto Rican rescue dog, Lola – the other love of his life! rodrigo@serranoteam.com (781)929-7379 https://www.serranoteam.com

< Back Patricia Birchem REALTOR® Patricia grew up in Medford, MA in a family of four siblings, and was fortunate to have the best twin brother a sister could ask for. Her professional journey began at AT&T, where she excelled as a top-performing sales executive in the Boston area, specializing in tele-communication services for corporate clients. Inspired by her husband, she left corporate America to become a business and property owner, managing two laundromats. Balancing this with raising two children in Wakefield, MA, she actively participated in their diverse activities, from baseball and hockey to lacrosse and equestrian events – even owning a horse trailer, creating countless memories. Eventually she turned the laundromat properties into commercial investments and brought on tenants, and in partnership with the City of Cambridge Economic Development Department, facilitated significant upgrades to one of the properties. Despite encountering a lot of hurdles such as managing trustees and addressing voting rights within her multi-use building, it’s been fun and rewarding, and she’s learned a lot. For 20 years she has been involved in the real estate world whether that was as a landlord or an investor, and as her children headed off to college she finally had enough time to turn real estate into her main career. She obtained her real estate license and found a team that perfectly aligned with her values and approach, and dedicated herself to mastering the art and science of selling homes at the best prices. For Patricia, real estate goes beyond simple transactions. She enjoys acting as her clients’ advocate and trusted advisor, coming up with creative solutions for any challenges that arise along the way. Today, she’s grateful to be helping people in Boston & North Shore REALTOR® sell their homes at the highest price – your house deserves the spotlight patricia@thebillbutlergroup.com (781)789-2937

< Back Grant Gibian REALTOR® If you are looking for an experienced, straightforward REALTOR who knows what they’re doing: you should contact Grant. He has been working in real estate for over 20 years, and his clients will tell you he is a straight shooter, which is something very important when navigating a real estate transaction. A project manager for technology companies and consultants in a previous career, he helped Fortune 500 companies implement their financial systems: these were complex million dollar projects with large project teams (companies like Nabisco, Pepsi, Avis, etc.). Now he helps people manage perhaps the largest purchase or sale of their life, also a complex project that can be very expensive. After buying and selling properties of his own and becoming familiar with the process, he transitioned to a REALTOR just before his twins were born. The plan was that it would allow him to flex his work schedule to spend time with them. And now they’re getting driver’s licenses, time moves on. Time moves on, and people do too. Every real estate transaction is different and he has been through a lot of transactions. Let his experience be your advantage, call him to discuss selling your home, or buying one. gogetgrant@gmail.com (781)999-0225

https://www.leadingedgeagents.com/sellers MENU GET IN TOUCH Sell for Top Dollar with Our Proven Stategies PROTECT YOUR EQUITY Interview like your money depends on it... Because it does Most buyers and sellers interview agents with boilerplate questions. That’s a mistake. The real estate industry is filled with practiced scripts and shiny brochures, but what you need is transparency, data, and someone who will actually protect your equity when you buy or sell—not just chase a commission. THINKING OUT OF THE BOX MEET OUR LOCAL EXPERTS Critical Questions to Ask How do you ensure that every qualified buyer has a fair chance to see my home? Some agents pitch “private,” “exclusive,” or “soft launch” marketing as a luxury strategy. It sounds elite. But fewer than 3% of buyers will ever see your home in that window, and 94% of listings that start private end up in MLS anyway—with longer days on market. That delay can shrink your offers and hurt your leverage. Be clear: this is not a luxury tactic. It’s a company strategy to double-dip the commission by selling in-house. That’s a wealth transfer—from your equity to their profit. How do you ensure maximum exposure? If they “gate keep” showings or limit access to handpicked colleagues, they’re working for themselves—not you. Who decides who gets to see my home? When agents keep listings "private," they're choosing which buyers get access. That's not just bad business - it echoes discriminatory practices of the past. As Zillow states: "A listing marketed to any buyer should be marketed to every buyer.” At Leading Edge, we believe in equal access. Every buyer. Every time. What's your strategy for handling offers? Market dynamics dictate strategy. In high-demand markets, we set clear deadlines and stick to them. Period. Experience shows that early "knockout" offers often transform into stronger offers when faced with competition. We've watched impatient buyers return with $100K more when forced to compete. Trust the process: When sellers hold firm, buyers bring their best. But we're not rigid. In softer markets, we'll advise you to consider strong offers as they arrive. The key? We set clear rules upfront and follow them. Can I speak to your last three sellers—by date, not cherry-picked examples? Anyone can highlight a great sale. You want to hear from the clients who weren't selected for a testimonial. Can I see your marketing strategy—in writing? If they can’t define it on paper, they won’t deliver it in practice. ALWAYS ASK! What's your Sale-to-List Price ratio? Every agent you interview should be ready to show their complete pricing track record - not just their wins. Look at original prices, market time, and final sales. The data will tell you who prices strategically to create demand, and who prices high just to win listings. A great agent will welcome this question. A defensive one might not be the right fit. How many of your listings in the past two years have needed price reductions? The data doesn't lie. If an agent's listings regularly need price reductions, that's not the market - that's a pattern. While some sellers push for higher prices (it's their right), strong agents educate about strategic pricing. The sweet spot? When buyers think "That's steep... but if I don't act now, someone else will.” Zillow found overpriced homes ultimately sell for 4% less. That's $32,000 lost on a $800,000 home. Any agent worth hiring will show you their complete track record. The good ones are proud to share it. Should I offer Buyer Compensation? Today's buyers are responsible for their agent's fee - that's clear. But many want to finance it through their mortgage, which means it becomes part of the purchase price. Stay flexible. Focus on your net proceeds. If buyers want to include their agent's fee in the deal, we can increase our counter price to accommodate their buyer fee obligation and protect your bottom line. The key? It's their fee, their choice - we just need to make sure the numbers work for you. IMPORTANT Don't Broadcast Buyer Agent Fees When sellers advertise they'll cover buyer agent compensation, it can backfire. Some agents will inflate their buyer agreements to match your offer - essentially using your offer of compensation against you. Stay strategic. Let buyers present the fee in their offer, then negotiate total price to meet your net proceeds goal. Smart strategy? Keep quiet about compensation. Let them make the first move. Copyright © 2024.
