Vraux, a Broker and a REALTOR®,
knows exactly what needs to be done for his clients and believes that working
tirelessly for those who seek his help is the primary factor for his long-term
success.
“I am a fulltime broker with 25
years of experience,” Vraux said. “I help navigate every deal for my clients,
either buyers or sellers.”
According to Vraux, his
diligence and willingness to put in the extra effort sometimes required
distinguish him from the competition.
“Lots of companies work Monday
through Friday are encouraged to take the weekend off,” he said. “I work
weekends and more when buyers and sellers are off. I am available when they
need me to be.”
He’s proud of his work and Vraux
says the secret to being effective in his job is listening and communicating.
“It’s all about satisfying
people - both sellers and buyers,” he said. “In the years I’ve been doing this
I’ve never had a bad review and have maintained a high level of
professionalism.”
Working throughout Southern Maine but mostly in the Lakes Region, Vraux is an independent working for Better Homes and Gardens, The Masiello Group, out of their office located at 76 Tandberg Trail in Windham.
“I offer my clients, whether it
be buyers or sellers, the best advice I can,” he said. “I offer advice to help
sellers obtain the highest and best use for selling their property. For buyers
I listen to their needs and wants and their price range, help them to become
qualified and negotiate in their best interest.”
Vraux’s extensive knowledge of
the real estate business, what properties are available, and his ability to
help clients clearly grasp and understand all of the specifics and details of
transactions, also are invaluable tools to those he serves.
“Communication is truly the key
to building and sustaining a successful business,” Vraux said. “I make it a
point to touch base with past clients for their recommendations. I’ve been
successful in building a family of people who’ve bought and sold with me over
the years. They have been the recipients of the personalized service I offer to
all my clients.”
Vraux said he often tells his clients when a deal closes that it
doesn’t end there. “I say to them that they’re not done with me; I ask them to
tell their family and friends to see Richie Vraux when they need help with real
estate,” he said.
The greatest misconception
people may have about real estate are held by homeowners, who feel that they
know the value of their home before they decide to sell, Vraux said.
“Sellers do think their
properties are worth more than they actually are sometimes,” he said. “I do a
thorough comparative market analysis so
that they can understand the competition out there.”
The pricing for his services is
fair and reasonable. “Most REALTORS® follow a set commission of 6 percent,”
Vraux said. “I am flexible depending on each property and conditions. I am in
line with most REALTORS®.”
He’s also one of the first real
estate agents in this area to offer cutting edge technology through Hommati
Dynamic Visual Content, a service that features 3-D interactive tours, aerial
videos, virtual staging and HD photography for prospective buyers and sellers.
Vraux said that his greatest
accomplishment is putting a smile on the faces of first-time home buyers as they
move into their newly purchased residence.
A recent client gave him a
five-star review saying, “Richie is by far one of the best real estate agents I
have ever met. He has gone above and beyond and exceeded expectations. While
this is our first home buying experience he worked closely with us helping us
navigate one of the hottest markets in U.S history. He was able to get us into
showings where we thought for sure they would be booked up. While we missed out
on some houses due to better offers Richie stayed positive and continued to
support us throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Richie to
anyone who is looking to buy or sell a property as he has connections in the
real estate world that prove to be very helpful.”
