HOME SELLING TIPS

Getting Sold

Why choose me as your Realtor?:

Your most important decision when selling your home is the selection of the person you choose to represent you.

My job is to support you in selling your home with the best possible terms, and to aid you through the entire process.

As your Realtor, I will explain the process of selling a home, and familiarize you with the various activities, documents and procedures that you will experience throughout the transaction.

As your Real Estate Professional I'll be:

  • Resourceful in attracting the largest possible pool of potential buyers.
  • Knowledgeable in the technology resources that facilitate the transaction.
  • Assisted by a fully-staffed marketing department.
  • Supported by professional legal counsel.

In order to sell your home quickly and on with the best possible terms, it's necessary to prepare your home for the market. This process includes:

  • Deciding when to put your home on the market.
  • Establishing a strategic price based on recent comparable sales, local market conditions and your motivation to sell.

  • Featuring your property on our web site and 100’s of others such as REALTOR.com, Zillow.com, Trulia.com and Redfin.com.
  • Asking clients and colleagues if they know of possible buyers.

Managing the Transaction:

You'll appreciate having a strong advocate on your side during the transaction! I will look out for your best interest and negotiate what terms you desire.

Negotiating the Offer:

I will immediately present and explain all offers to you. You will be able to accept, reject, or counter any offer presented. During the negotiation process, your Associate will leverage their experience and skills to advocate your interests:

  • Reviewing the contract and obligations before you sign.
  • Explaining how contingencies and release clauses work.
  • Protecting you from signing a "blank check" for unknown problems or repairs.
  • Defining legal disclosure requirements.
  • Orchestrate the offer process for "back-up" offers, if necessary.

Throughout the negotiation, I will provide you with a professional, objective point of view; but the final decision of accepting an offer is yours.

After the Offer is Accepted:

Once an offer is accepted, I will manage all the details to make the process as stress-free and efficient as possible:

  • Staying in contact with the buyer's agent to ensure a smooth escrow.
  • Following up on the progress of the buyer's loan.
  • Monitoring all contingency removal deadlines.
  • Assisting you if a conflict with the buyer arises.

Finalizing and Closing the Transaction:

Finalizing the process includes reviewing all closing documents and ensuring both parties have copies. When the transaction has closed, as your Sales Associate will deliver the closing check to you and the keys to the new owner.
