Welcome to "Ready, Set, Sold!" with your host, Bryan Vogt. Are you wanting, or even thinking, about selling your house but don't know where to start? Good thing you've found "Ready, Set, Sold!" And now, real estate broker Bryan Vogt.
Bryan Vogt: Welcome everyone and thanks for joining us. I am Bryan Vogt. I'm a local realtor in the metro east market, and I am joined today by the mayor of Shiloh, Mayor Jim Vernier. Welcome, Mayor.
Jim Vernier: Thank you, Bryan.
Bryan Vogt: This is our debut show. This is the first time that we've aired. A little background to that that I'd like to tell you about. I wrote a book this year called "Ready, Set, Sold!" "Ready, Set, Sold!" became a number one Amazon best seller. I was very happy with that, and that launched me into the ability of radio. I was approached by 1260 The Answer to do a weekly radio program about how to get your home sold for top dollar and a quick sale. So that in a small nutshell is how I'm here is doing this show. So it's going to be a weekly situation of talking about real estate, what you need to get done, the information that you need to get your house sold for top dollar and to have a quick sale.
So one of the things that came in a lot when I wrote the book, people asked me why I wrote the book. There was a lot of different reasons, but the three top reasons I would say, number one, there is so much confusion ... Jim, maybe you know this too, but when people are looking to sell their home, they get onto the TV programs. There's a zillion of them out there. But they're all based on the east coast and on the west coast. They just don't have anything really relevant to say about the St. Louis and metro east market. And many times after talking with sellers, they're just completely confused, and they've made decisions that maybe weren't the right decisions that cost them money. Sometimes they're just kind of lucky if they got it right. That was really concerning to me.
The second reason is kind of a tie into that is, we've had people that literally spent 10s and even 20 and 30 thousand dollars with making updates, making changes to their house that not only didn't give them any value back, but they had to turn around and make the updates that would give them value so they could get their house sold for top dollar in the short sale.
The third reason is, I've been doing this for a while. I've been doing this for really, actually over 16 years. One of the things that we've seen, this is your biggest asset that most people have. It just really is. It's the biggest asset they have, and we work with people that maybe life didn't go the way they planned. It just didn't work out the way they were hoping to. To sell this house is everything. It's literally how they're going to live. Maybe get some social security, but literally this is the money they have. So having that understanding, having this book available to people, that's really the goal of why I wrote the book. I've had some great success stories of people that have read it. It's an easy read. It's nice if you read the whole thing because it's not just theory, it's not just [congesture 00:03:39]. It's actually proven steps that people have used and had some great success.
So that's the reason why I wrote the book. That's what led me to the radio station, and that's kind of where this program is gonna be going to. So on a weekly situation, step by step, we're gonna be going through what you can do. If you want to get the book now, go to readysetsold.org, and that's readysetsold.org, not .com. Get the book. It's free. Simply free. Go there, get the book. It's information. It's loaded with information that has helped many, many, many past [inaudible 00:04:21] have great success. And I tell people this, and I mean this sincerely, you don't even have to use me. That's not what it's for. Get the book, read the
