OPTIMIZE THE SALE PRICE

As a seller, you can set the sale price, but ultimately it is the buyer who determines the property’s value. I can help you properly price your home, which is often the most important factor in attracting the right buyers; priced incorrectly, your home may exclude good prospects and linger too long on the market. The longer a home remains listed, the less marketable it becomes as buyers wonder what may be “wrong” with it.

I will prepare a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report for your home using recent sales of similar homes in your neighborhood. I will take into consideration your property’s location, condition and features, as well as current market conditions and your time frame to determine the optimal price.

MAXIMIZE YOUR EXPOSURE

I will place the most recognized for sale sign in real estate, the Century 21 Gold Post at your property.  This will generate leads from drive-by traffic.  Listing with me will also guarantee your property is in the local Multiple-listing service, as well as over a dozen websites available 24/7 to potential buyers.  These include realtor.com and century21.com which are the #1 and #2 websites used for finding homes for sale.  Over 90% of homebuyers begin their search on the internet.  Shouldn’t your home be there?

MAKING THE BUYER FEEL COMFORTABLE

Homes are very personal, and many buyers are often leery of intruding upon others’ private space. Generally, it is more enjoyable to walk through and evaluate a home without the current owner present. And, many buyers are hesitant to make an offer when they know they will be negotiating directly with the owner. Using a realtor as a professional, detached liaison puts the buyer at ease and opens channels of communication.

In fact, 79% of real estate sales are the result of agent contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends, family, and personal outreach.  Nearly 94% of people surveyed claimed they were satisfied with their agent’s knowledge of the process and over 85% sellers and 70% of buyers would use the same agent again in the future.  Realtors connect sellers to buyers better than any other sales tool.

PRE-SCREEN BUYERS

You put a lot of work into getting your home ready for showings.  You want to make sure your prospective buyers are serious and able to purchase your home.  I will pre-screen buyers to ensure that they are financially prepared to buy if your home suits them.  This saves you time and the inconvenience of unnecessary traffic through your home.  And, for your safety, all showings will be scheduled through my office.

HELPING YOU PRPARE YOUR HOME FOR MAXIMUM APPEAL

First impressions are critical for would-be buyers, which is why staging your home properly is instrumental to the success of your sale. Buyers want to imagine the home as their own, and prefer properties that seem “move-in ready.” Often, the less they think they need to do to the property, the more they are willing to pay.

I will help you see your home through a buyer’s eyes. I can suggest simple improvements and repairs to maximize your home’s appeal to the broadest base of buyers. Some of the simplest suggestions I could make include:

Cleaning Up

Getting Rid of Clutter

Letting Fresh Air In

Making Your Home Cozier

Creating a Pleasant Impression

There are many other tips I may suggest to make yours stick out from the others for sale.  These tips will also help sell your home in the quickest time possible for the most money. 

HELPING GUARD YOU AGAINST CLAIMS

Selling a home is a legal transaction. I can assist you with all the relevant disclosure forms you may need to provide to the buyer. In today’s litigious society, it is imperative that all matters relating to the sale of the home, including its physical condition, history, zoning, etc., be accurately and comprehensively disclosed. Overlooking even the smallest detail could potentially lead to an expensive claim.
