SELLING

I have the tools to meet the demands of a highly competitive, modern market.

I will work for you every step of the way! My combination of skill, experience, and technology ensures that I can sell your home for the highest possible price and in the shortest period of time.

My internet marketing system allows me to make information accessible 24-hours daily, and to respond quickly and directly to each and every potential buyer. From my website, prospective buyers can get information immediately about your property. They can access my site 24 hours a day and view your property listing! Through my Personal Home Search, your listing will be transmitted by email to each prospective buyer in my database, where your home meets their standards. Plus it'll be emailed automatically to future prospective buyers too.

Whenever you list your property with me, I'll enter your property in the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) database. Other agents can immediately access your property information. In addition, your property will be included in any printed MLS® books. I also regularly publish in magazines and papers in the area and send out direct mail pieces to potential buyers.

The Seller's Guide

Selling your home is a complex, multi-step process that calls for the expertise of a Real Estate Agent. There are many things you’ll need to consider, and to help you through it, here’s a general overview on what to expect and prepare.

Get Your Finances in Order

Don’t worry if you’re still paying off your mortgage, there are several options depending on what type of mortgage you have. However, you’ll need to talk to your lender before you can proceed.

Meet With a Real Estate Agent

It’s important to partner with a Real Estate Agent you feel completely comfortable with. Don’t fall for the trap of partnering with the first Real Estate Agent who suggests the highest asking price. Shop around. A good Real Estate Agent can help you price your home to sell, answer questions like “When is a good time to sell?” and has in-depth knowledge of the market.

Start your search for a reputable Real Estate Agent, by checking if family and friends have a preferred Real Estate Agent or search online for the most visible and professional one. Visit your local real estate office; pay attention to advertisements and For Sale signs.

Listing Your Home

Pricing your home too low or too high is not an option. Setting a fair price will attract more potential buyers, and give your home more exposure. Your Real Estate Agent should be able to explain to you the multitude of factors influencing pricing, including: competitive pricing, current market stats, and of course the estimated value of your home.

Marketing and Promotion

The next step will be to sign a Listing Agreement, which gives your REALTOR® permission to post your property on MLS (Multiple Listing Service). They’ll then begin marketing your home through a variety of mediums — digital and traditional — and inform other REALTORS® (representing buyers) that your property is on the market. Your REALTOR® can also help you prepare your home for staging.

Closing

After the hard work of marketing and promoting your home pays off, you’ll hopefully have a few offers on the table. Once you’ve accepted an offer, your buyer will want to conduct a home inspection and (potentially) negotiate the cost of any repairs. Finally, your lawyer and Real Estate Agent will walk you through the paperwork and legal bits needed to close.

Congratulations! With the sale of your home complete, you can now begin looking for a new place.

Pricing Your Home

When you consider it, there are several other homes for sale competing with your property. I will help you price your home competitively to attract qualified buyers. The way I do this is by generating a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report, which will show you a range of prices being paid for homes in your region. You can complete my online form to get a feel for your home's market value.

Every Step of the Way

Bear in mind, I'll be working for you every step along the way to ensure you receive the greatest possible price for your house in the shortest amount of time.
