Thinking of Selling?
So, you have decided to sell your property. Before anything else, it is a good idea
to sit down and clarify your motivations and draw up a basic time frame for the
selling process.
Why Sell?
Why do you want to sell your property? Do you intend to simply find a larger
property, or do you plan on moving to another neighborhood, school district, city,
or county? You might think your reasons are obvious, but it would do well to
consider the implications of each option for your lifestyle, opportunities, and
finances. Being clear about your intentions for selling will make it easier for me
to determine the most appropriate option for your specified financial, lifestyle, and
real estate goals.
The old adage, “You can’t judge a book by its cover” is passé today. This is a fast-
paced, image-oriented society in which we live. First impressions really do count!
Every piece of information on your property, whether it be a brochure, the wording
in the Multiple Listing Service, a presence on the Internet, or a well-placed
advertisement must show your home in the best possible light.
During all phases of a listing from the initial paperwork and promotion through the
very last details of the closing, I personally attend to all the details. As a result, the
large majority of my transactions come through referrals and repeat business.

Getting Started
The first time we meet, we will discuss what your selling objectives are. This is a good time to ask questions, and I will give you an idea of what to expect during the selling process. We will discuss preliminary ideas for pricing and house preparations. I will provide you with a complete Comparative Marketing Analysis (CMA) for your property.
You’re Ready to Sell Your Home!
Once you decide you are ready, we will review and sign a standard Listing Agreement. We will also complete all the mandatory disclosure forms. I will arrange for any necessary inspections.
Preparing Your Home/Property
Before putting your home on the market, we want to ensure it is most attractive to potential buyers. Knowing how to showcase and accentuate the best features of your home, without incurring unnecessary expense, is at the core of what I do. As we walk through your property, we will discuss minor repairs, curb appeal tips, staging, and making your property feel welcoming to potential buyers. If staging if necessary, I will share some options based on your property.
Determine List Price
Pricing your home competitively, at the start, will create more activity among brokers and buyers and lead to a more successful sale.
Establishing the value and list price for your property involves researching and comparing similar properties and weighing factors including location, condition, amenities, and market conditions. We will arrive at a competitive price aimed at generating strong buyer activity.
Marketing Your Home
Understanding where buyers come from allows me to market your property competitively. Creating excitement in the marketplace through consistent and aggressive marketing efforts and integrating online and offline efforts is key to a successful sale. My maximum exposure marketing plan includes Comprehensive Internet marketing through the Realty One Group site, Realtor.com, Zillow.com, Facebook.com, and dozens of others.
Also, public open houses & brokers tours, yard signage, property feature sheet; sales agent network; and customized property marketing. I will remain in constant communication with you and give you progress reports on showings and all activity.
Processing the Sale & Closing
The complexities of processing transactional documents will be made very easy for you through my continuous guidance and communication. I will review all offers and terms of each offer with you and negotiate on your behalf so that you obtain the highest possible price for your home while limiting your exposure and protecting your bests interests.
Once your home is in escrow, I will prepare all seller required disclosures and reports, attend appraisal with recent comparables to support your purchase price, and make sure all contingencies and repair requests are removed in a timely manner per the contract. Communication between us is imperative and I can assure you that you will be informed every step of the way.
Close of Escrow
Congratulations, you have now sold your home! I will provide you with helpful moving hints and be there to answer any questions. I am always available to help you should a question arise after the close of escrow and I want to ensure that you are 100% satisfied.
