William Pitt – Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty has partnered with Final Offer to launch the real estate buying and selling platform in Connecticut, New York and Berkshire County, Massachusetts.
Final Offer is a platform designed to empower licensed real estate agents to provide a more transparent offer and negotiation experience for the consumer. For every property that leverages Final Offer’s negotiation technology to bring about a sale, agents work with their sellers to determine the publicly disclosed terms, conditions and pricing for their homes. Then, all offers from buyers are presented by their agents directly through the platform, triggering immediate text notifications to all interested parties actively following the property.
William Pitt – Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty manages a $5.1 billion portfolio with more than 1,100 sales associates in 29 brokerages across Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts. It is among the largest Sotheby’s International Realty affiliates globally and the 34th-largest US real estate company by sales volume. With the new partnership with this company, Final Offer is now available in 11 states and Washington, DC, as well as Ontario and Alberta in Canada.
“We are excited to take the lead in our territories with the introduction of this revolutionary platform, and we are confident the market will embrace the change,” said Paul Breunich, chairman and CEO of Stamford, Connecticut-based William Pitt – Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty. “This innovative technology creates the potential for buyers to see all bids, providing a fair chance to make competitive offers. Property owners benefit from a truly competitive selling environment where all bids potentially can be made visible. This is a solution for every seller who ever felt they were leaving money on the table, and for every buyer who wasn’t given the opportunity to beat a winning bid with a better offer.”
Doesn’t this process dilute the value (negotiation skills) of the agent?
