If you’re a home buyer or seller in search of a real estate agent, Coldwell Banker Realty-Gundaker is the place for you, said Brad Merritt, manager of the Metro South branch, 502 S. Truman Blvd., Festus.
Merritt said a lack of inventory continues to plague the housing market, but Coldwell Banker-Gundaker’s size is a positive.
“We are positioned better than anybody else in the market because we have the metro’s largest listing force. We have 10 offices, and all 10 offices are under the same broker. And so all 10 offices, and that’s thousands of agents, get to share their listings with our company and our agents first before they hit the market. We get the first shot at putting them under contract before they even hit the market.”
That’s an advantage for Coldwell Banker clients who have been shut out of putting a contract on a home by a cash buyer, he said.
In addition to his 20 years in the real estate industry, Merritt is a retired U.S. Navy chief. He said that allows him a skill set of leadership with structure and strength that is unique to his branch.
“If their broker’s not helping them with the plan to get through this season of the market, then they should be looking to give me a call,” Merritt said.
He said agents seeking to make a switch should consider Metro South.
“Our office is unique among all the other Coldwell Banker offices in that I am both a branch manager and the national sales coach for Leaders Edge Training. Our agents are some of the most knowledgeable and best trained in the area,” he said.
