Results DO Matter

In the first half of 2008, McEnearney Associates sold the properties we marketed in less time and for a higher percentage of the original listed price than other area companies. (By the way, we started tracking this performance in Northern Virginia in 1999, and we have sold our listings in less time and closer to list price in eighteen of the last nineteen semi-annual periods. Since we opened our first office in Washington in 2007, we have added DC and Montgomery County to our evaluation.)

We looked at the results of the eleven largest real estate companies in the Metropolitan Washington area* as measured by the number of listings settled. These fine companies encompass a wide variety of business models and an equally wide variety of company size. This includes the two largest independent real estate companies in the United States and the local arm of the largest real estate company in the world. And we found what we have always known: size doesn't matter in obtaining the best price in the shortest time.

Market conditions have varied widely in the ten years we have been tracking these numbers, from balanced markets, to sellers' markets to the current buyers' market. And we have adapted to these changing conditions, outperforming the market regardless of what the market conditions are. Our carefully assembled team of the most productive Sales Associates in the Washington metropolitan area makes all the difference for you.

McEnearney Associates' listings had the highest average sales price in the first half of 2008 among all real estate companies with at least 200 settled listings in the Metro DC Area* - by far! Generally speaking, more expensive properties take longer to sell and typically sell at a deeper discount to the original list price. That makes it even more remarkable that our listings sold, on average, more rapidly and closer to the original list price than the listings of these other fine real estate companies.
