Selling your home is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. How much is it REALLY worth? How long will it take to sell? How do you handle buyers making undesirable offers?
As Realtors, it is our job to guide you through this complicated process, from beginning to end. If you want to get the most for your home, within YOUR time frame, here are just some of the things that we'll do to market and sell your home:
- Buyers want to buy your home for as little as possible! Through detailed comparisons between your home and recently sold homes, and other properties currently on the market, we can determine what your home is really worth in the current market. This comparison is called a Comparative Market Analysis or CMA. Using the Multiple Listing Database we will do this for you, for free! We consistently get very similar results to appraisers because of our many years experience and that they use the same general information we do to reason out a fair price. There is one big difference, however. Our valuation to you is free!
- Buyers often have their own timelines and agendas, which might not be yours! We will qualify all prospects as to their ability to buy your home and negotiate reasonable terms. This will save you much time and a lot of hassle.
- The more buyers interested in your home generally means you'll get a better price when it is sold. Our extensive marketing of your home assures you a better chance of getting a good price. For example, this web site will market your property all across the web. It will also be present in multiple other web sites. These include Yahoo Real Estate, Microsoft MSN HomeAdvisor, Realtor.com the ERA network and other top national sites. Bill can place your home on multiple web sites within just a few minutes' time! So your home gets immediate exposure.
- When the marketing of your home begins, we will immediately notify all the buyers that are relying on us to help find their home. We will also notify all the other Realtors in this area directly and through the Multiple Listing System. They'll tell all their potential buyers. It is a powerful way to jump-start the sale of your home!
- Handling the basics of real estate is what gets homes bought and sold. Just as in most of life's contests, in which you have been involved or have witnessed, those who learn the fundamentals well are the ones who excel. You probably entertain all sorts of mental images when you think about real estate. All kinds of book covers can be seen from the outside. If you could look inside the book and determine what's really in it, you would see that really good agents have mastered the basics and use powerful marketing in most all media. We handle the fundamentals and marketing well.
- Together we will inspect your home carefully. We will advise you how to present your property to maximize its selling price. We call this "staging" your home. Some improvements are worth it, and some are not! We will advise you on this.
- Contracts are complicated, and intimidating. You don't want to go to a closing with some doubts! You will have the full benefit of our combined 27-year real estate experience and knowledge for a smooth and successful process.
- You can be assured you will conform to any and all state statutory disclosure requirements. You will also be informed by us of any inspections that you should consider having done ahead of time to not be surprised, promote a smooth negotiating process with buyers, and to ensure a successful closing.
You pay no up front costs for our services! We don't get a dime until everything is complete and the closing takes place. So you can bet that we will work hard to get your home sold, for as much as this market will bear. It's important we work within your time frame and your needs. For example, sometimes it can be hard to sell and move out of your current home, and buy and move into a new home, all at the same time! There are several proven ways to help smooth this out.
