DEFINE YOUR GOALS, WANTS, NEEDS & EXPECTATIONS – When you first starting thinking about selling your home, a good place to begin is by exploring your short and long-term goals in life and how selling your home fits in.

DETERMINE THE BEST PRICE FOR WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE MARKET RIGHT NOW– I will assess the current state of the market and what comparable homes are actually selling for by reviewing a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) on your home.  That way, we can objectively determine its fair market value and price it right.

PREPARE YOUR PROPERTY SO THAT IT IS IN TOP-SELLING CONDITION– Most of us don’t keep our homes in top-selling condition.  I will work with you to help you see things from a buyer’s point of view.  I will consult with you on what to repair, replace or remove so that your home makes a GREAT first impression.

SHOWING YOUR HOME – Always keep your home in top-selling condition.  When you leave for work, make sure that your home remains in top-selling condition.  You know what they say about first impressions!

RECEIVE AN OFFER – When a buyer decides to buy your home, an offer will be presented.  I will advise you on the offer and whether the buyer is qualified to purchase your home.

NEGOTIATE TO SELL – Most offers require some level of negotiation.  We will work together to decide your parameter and we will negotiate on your behalf.

HAVE YOUR HOME APPRAISED AND INSPECTED – Once you have accepted an offer, I will work with the buyer’s agent to coordinate an appraisal, inspections and a survey (if required).  If the buyer requires that certain repairs be made on your home, I will continue to negotiate on your behalf and recommend vendors so we move successfully from contract to closing.

PREPARE FOR CLOSING – A few days before closing, I will contact the title company and the buyer’s agent to ensure that all the necessary forms and documents have been prepared.   Close!  At the closing meeting, ownership of your property is legally transferred to the buyer.
