Meet Vincent

After interviewing several agents, we chose Vincent because of his North SD knowledge and his great listening skills. After successfully purchasing our house, we are happy to endorse him. His easy going nature made us feel very comfortable, and we were able to build trust. His diligence made him dependable, making sure that our interests were properly represented. His ability to read the offer situation and provide counsel led us to success! And finally, even after we closed, he continued to help us coordinate things like the gardener before we moved in.

Vincent Morris handled the sale of our property in the most professional and successful manner. We had the results we hoped to achieve with his direction and support, plus his consistent communication with us and all prospective buyers kept the final sale on track with the best outcome. We are grateful and extremely pleased. Louise Adams and Doug Reiter

Picking the “right” real estate agent makes all the difference.Vincent made it through our selection process with flying colors and we used him to sell multiple homes for us. If you want to know a little about our selection process, read below. Suffice it to say, Vincent should be on the short list of agents you are considering to use. 5 stars - no hesitation.I’ve been buying, selling, investing and managing real estate for over 30 years. I was formally a licensed real estate broker, dealing with commercial properties in NY and CA. So, some might think that when it came to selling my own home(s), I’d somehow do it myself. Wrong. That wasn’t my specialty, so like most people I had to select an agent.I’m so surprised to see people entrusting the handling of the sale of their home (possibly their single most valuable asset to someone for all the wrong reasons (i.e. a friend, a friend of a friend, “they got a mailer,” etc.).No one likes to pay those big commissions. It may seem like all an agent does is list the property on-line. For some, that is almost all they do and hope a buyer finds it and buys it. So, is that your plan?Instead, my wife and I found what agents specialized in our market and type of home. Who were the top agents in the local offices? Each office or franchise has a certain vibe or reputation. What agents had sales that would rank them among the most successful in their office, region and in the Country? How many years of experience did they have? Then, we’d interview the top candidates. Each interview would last at least an hour. We’d ask them tough questions. Such as, tell us actual stories about how you resurrected a deal, how you went over and above the call of duty, what was the hardest challenge you had to overcome in a transaction, and so on. We stuck to actual events, not hypotheticals. Obviously, we asked detailed/specific questions about their marketing plan, what sets them apart from their competitors, what sets their firm apart from their competitors and so on. This agent will represents you. Would you like working with them? Would others (agents and buyers) like working with them? How are their communication skills? Are they presentable? Are they likable and disarming? Are they too confident? Do they know when to speak and when not to speak? How do they conduct an open house? Are they too pushy? Will they listen, take a sincere interest in you and your questions - that’s how they’ll deal with buyers? If you were a buyer would you work with them? Do they have contractor and staging resources, if the need arises? Are they easily reachable and will return your call? Do they take the listing and they assign it to a “team member?”That’s just the beginning, because what you’re really paying for is how they will handle the “what ifs” that happen in a transaction. If things go sideways, will they know what to do and how to do/execute it as well as what not to do? Obviously, our agent had to be an honest and ethical agent.Keep in mind that a successful agent’s time is worth at least $100/hour - whether he/she is sitting at an open house, working on your marketing plan, or working on the specifics or logistics of a deal. Your agent has a lot to deal with. There’s always a chance that the market is so hot, it sells in a day. Well, good for you. But more than likely the agent will spend a lot of hours and money on mailings, front or back cover ads, podcasts productions, photographs, 3-D tours, videos (drone footage), come to each showing, etc.You usually get what you paid for so if you want cheap, you’ll get cheap. My advice is don’t cheap out. Go all in and pick the best agent you can find. There may only be one buyer for your home and you don’t want to lose that buyer by something your agent did or didn’t do. Best of luck in your search.

My husband and I have yet to meet a professional as generous with their time and energy as Vincent. He puts his clients first. No excuses. He WILL go above and beyond for you. I remember saying to my wife many times—“Wow, I can’t believe he did that for us; he must really care.” His work ethic and commitment to our happiness are unprecedented.Additionally, Vincent listens to a T. He asks all the right questions, taps into his resources, and designs solutions based on your constraints. What more can you ask for? In a downright insane housing market for buyers, I can’t imagine not having Vincent in our corner. We are thankful he chose to work with us.

We have worked with Vincent for over ten years. We wouldn't have found our dream home without his help.He is always a pleasure to work with and communicates realistic expectations. He has represented us as the buyer and seller.We appreciate his professionalism and extensive knowledge.
