Selling Tips

Whether you’re in the market to buy or sell, I am committed to supporting your real estate needs through every step of the process.

Sell a Home:
When you make the decision to sell your home, the goal is to get the best price and the most favorable terms in a timeframe that meets your needs. That’s why many sellers choose to work with a full-service, licensed real estate professional, like myself. From effective pricing and marketing to making sure the closing process runs smoothly, I will provide expert representation and support every step of the way.

My Goals:

  • Provide information about the current market and work with you to set a price accordingly.
  • Provide exposure to more buyers and agents through extensive marketing outreach.
  • Communicate regularly so you can make informed decisions throughout the entire sales process.
  • Help you understand all the terms, processes, and paperwork involved.
  • Serve as your advocate and negotiate the most favorable terms from pricing to closing.
  • Provide you with a peace-of-mind that all details are being handled in a professional and efficient manner.

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 REALTOR®:
It’s important to partner with a REALTOR® you feel completely comfortable with. Don’t fall for the trap of partnering with the first REALTOR® who suggests the highest asking price. Shop around. A good REALTOR® 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 REALTOR®, by checking if family and friends have a prefered REALTOR® 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 REALTOR® 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. They’ll then begin marketing your home through a variety of mediums – digital and traditional – and inform other real estate brokers (representing buyers) that your property is on the market. Your real estate broker 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 REALTOR® 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.
