About The Kinderhook Group

Choosing The Right Broker For You

Selling your home is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. Choosing the right professional real estate broker to work for you can make a considerable difference in how long the property is on the market; what the property actually sells for, and how efficiently the transaction is handled.

Consider This...

There are many brokers to choose from in your market. You have real concerns you want addressed during the broker interviews. We ask that you also consider these five questions when choosing which real estate broker can and will really work to achieve your selling goals.

  1. Is the broker a member of Multiple Listing Services in your market? The Kinderhook Group is a member of five different MLS systems—the Columbia County and Northern Dutchess MLS, the Capital Region MLS (serving 9 counties), Greene County MLS and the Berkshire County MLS in Massachusetts and the Litchfield County MLS in Connecticut.
  2. Does the broker have enough staff to service your listing? The Kinderhook Group has over 45 full-time and five part-time agents with an average of 16 years experience in the real estate industry. They all work to sell our listings first. Our agents accompany all showings—even those with cooperating agents from other agencies—to represent you during the appointment and to make sure the property is secured after the showing.
  3. Does the broker have a website? The Kinderhook Group has a heavily visited and interactive website. The site is maintained in the office and is updated daily so that new listings appear on the website within days after listing.
  4. Where does the broker advertise?

    The Kinderhook Group has an aggressive marketing and advertising plan. We advertise listings in The New York Times 52 weeks a year, and also in the New York Times Homes monthly color magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Capital District Business Review, The Albany Times Union, New Town Bee, The New York Observer, The Independent, The Chatham Courier, Register Star, Hudson River Sampler, The Advertiser, Columbia County HomeBuyers Guide, Columbia County Real Estate Guide, Berkshire County HomeBuyers Guide, Berkshire Home and Style, Berkshire Record, Capital Region Living, New York House, Antique Homes, Capitaland Harmon Homes, Vermont Homes Magazine, HomeStyle Magazine, The Antiquer and others.

    Not every publication is appropriate for every listing; we will customize our marketing effort for your property to see that it appears in the best venues to reach your potential buyers.

  5. Is the broker committed to you? The Kinderhook Group is. We have a great record and we will work hard to get your property SOLD! Quickly, Efficiently and Professionally.
