Kyle Smith- Stars of Texas Team

Who Am I ??

My name is Kyle Smith. I am a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty in Tyler, Texas, where I have been an active Realtor® since 1996. My family and I live on the outskirts of Tyler, in what I consider to be the "Best of East Texas"! I am originally from Arlington, Texas, but once I discovered East Texas, I knew I had to live here. Honestly, I don't think I'd ever want to live anywhere else. As if the beauty of East Texas were not enough, the citizens of East Texas will make up the difference. Tyler is quite possibly one of the friendliest cities in the nation.

I am married with one child. My wife, Stephanie, works with me and helps to keep the office running smoothly. Our daughter, Shelby, is a sophomore in high school, and aspires to become a marine biologist. In my spare time, some of my hobbies include fishing and hunting. At home, our miniature Schnauzer and Yorkie rule the roost!

Currently, I am a member of the Greater Tyler Association of Realtors®, Texas Association of Realtors, and the National Association of Realtors. I also hold the designation of Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), and have completed over 500 hours of additional education. So as you can see, I take education very serious. Knowledge is what will set me apart from others in a difficult market. Some of the courses I have studied include: "Staging Your Home", "Negotiations", "Investing", and "Marketing", just to name a few. I have also taught courses in Negotiation tactics and Developing a Client Relationship. I have served on the Greater Tyler Board of Realtors® Ethics and MLS committees. At Keller Williams, I serve on the ALC (Agent Leadership Council), which consists of the Top 20% of agents in the Keller Williams Market Center. The ALC assists in setting policies and procedures for operations within our local Market Center.

My previous career in marketing provided invaluable education to me, and my clients today benefit from that experience as well. However, I'm constantly competing with those whose marketing experience consists of running a line ad in the newspaper and placing a sign in the yard. Today's buyer is much more sophisticated than those in the past. Most buyers are limited on time, and some have complicated needs when it comes to financing. They need someone experienced to guide them through the minefield of lending options that can often stifle a perfectly good sale. I have the experience they need, plus good working relationship with numerous local lenders I work with on a consistent basis that not only provide exceptional service, but great rates as well.

How Can I Help You ??

ARE YOU A SELLER?

I can help you! With over 11 years experience in the East Texas area and a marketing plan second to none, I understand what it takes to sell your home. You will be faced with many questions while determining how to approach your home sale. You need an agent with answers, and those answers should be honest and straight forward. Integrity is one of the single most important character traits you need in an agent. Without integrity, what can you really expect from someone?

Previous careers have provided invaluable experience in marketing, communication, negotiations, and other skills that are necessary to sale your home for the highest possible price. Let's face it, isn't the most important question in your mind, "What will my bottom line be"?

After gaining over 14 years experience in negotiating, and having attended numerous courses on development and execution of negotiation strategies, I can make sure you get the most out of your home sale. My ultimate goal is to get you top dollar for your home, in the least amount of time, and to make sure things run smoothly from listing to close. I've got a team of professionals ready to assist you with all of your needs.

ARE YOU A BUYER?

Whether you are a first time buyer, relocating to the area, or looking for investment properties- I can help!

First time buyers- I have assisted many first time home buyers like you to discover their dream of home ownership. My goal is to take the time necessary to understand your needs, and any concerns you might have about your home purchase. We will walk through each step together to ensure your satisfaction with each decision throughout the process. You will never be left to wonder "Is this the right home for me?".

Relocating? - I make sure to stay familiar with local neighborhoods, market trends and other factors to consider which are paramount as you move into a new community. I will provide guidance and advice in all aspects of your move in order to allow you to focus on the move itself. If you don't already have friends or family in the area, you will need an agent who will approach your move with the same commitment to ensure that the home you purchase will protect your investment today, and in the future. We love helping new buyers move into the area, and will do what is necessary to make it a smooth transition for you. In the past, we've even helped a client or two move in!

Investors- To make sure that I can offer the best possible service to my investor clients, I am constantly following up on local and national market trends, financing issues, local foreclosure rates and the rental market. In order to find you the best possible investment property for your money, I approach it as if I were buying the property. 'Would I buy this property for myself as an investment?' 'Will this investment continue to grow in value?' 'What would my return be after renovation?' After carefully answering these questions, I am better prepared to help you make a wise investment decision.

He Said, She Said (Testimonials)

Here are a few things that my past clients have said over the years:

"We want to commend you on the quality of service we recently received from your office. We had the pleasure of listing our home with Kyle Smith. Kyle did an excellent job of marketing our home and communicating with us. He shared tips on how to best present our home and called us after each showing. Thanks to his efforts, we had an all cash, full priced contract in 90 days. The closing was problem free and all parties were happy.

With Kyle's help our daughter & son-in-law have just closed on their new home. Kyle is now marketing their previous home with the same degree of superior service. He is knowledgeable, professional, and proficient in every way- a real attribute to your office.

"If you are reading this letter it means that you are considering using Kyle Smith in one way or another as part of a pending real estate transaction. I can assure you, as a past client, that you will not be disappointed with Mr. Smith and his staff. I recently had to sell my home in Tyler from my new home in Seattle, Washington. After listing my home for more than a year with another agency, I grew doubtful that I could get the deal done without returning to Texas and handling the details in person. When I contacted Kyle, he assured me that there was no need to have to return and that he would handle everything. Kyle did way more than that, as within the first 3 months of listing he had shown the home and fielded more offers for the home than I had gotten in the past 14 months with other agents. I recently closed on the sale and could not be happier with the results. Call me for a verbal recommendation- 206-321-7238.

"We wish to thank you for all your hard work in assisting us to find a home in Tyler. From the beginning, you took the time, as well as patience to show us numerous homes. Not only were you professional in every sense of the word, but your personal demeanor was beyond expectation.

Your honesty as a realtor was most appreciated. We trusted your judgment when we asked your opinion. Yet, you never swayed our decision. Not only did you spend countless hours with us to find a home, you also made certain we were totally satisified before making that big decision.

Thank you, Kyle for being the honest and forthright person we have come to know and respect. Not only are you an outstanding Realtor, above all- you're a great person.
