Selling

First, determine your home’s value.

The biggest question home sellers want to know is, “What can I get for it?” It’s the biggest question you want answered, but the actual value of your home is not always 100% known. It will actually vary according to several factors, such as its condition and location, the time of year, other houses for sale in the area and current interest rates.

To answer this question, we will conduct a free, no-obligation Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). This is the fairest, most accurate way to set the listing price for your home. In addition to showing you what home have sold recently in your immediate area, we will also show you what’s currently on the market so you’ll know your competition, making it easier for you to price your home competitively. During the marketing of your home, we will also keep you informed of any properties that have sold and any new ones that have come on the market, keeping you well informed of changing market conditions.

Sometimes, we may recommend that you get your property appraised. This is by far, the best and most accurate method in determining the true value of your property.  An appraiser is an “unemotionally attached” and “disinterested” third party whose only job is to determine the value of your property. Once the value of your property is determined, we will determine the best strategy I order to get you as close to that price as possible and discuss those options with you.

Preparation is the big key to selling.

You’ve heard about “curb appeal.” But getting your home ready goes beyond first impressions. We can provide you with a free, comprehensive checklist filled with proven tips on cleaning, decorating and repairing your home to make it the most appealing to buyers. We may likely offer additional personal tips from her our experience—all to improve the marketability of your home. We’ll also make sure that you have the documents needed for a smooth transaction.

Coordinate your move.

There are many details to keep track of before, during and after your move. We will provide information and make recommendations for things like making repairs, finding movers, transferring utilities—and even services you might need after years of living in your next home.

Closing the sale.

You’ve found a qualified buyer. It all becomes official at the closing. Here, we meet with the buyer and their agent, along with a closing agent from the title company. You and the buyer will review and sign all closing papers. The buyer then presents a cashier’s or certified check for the down payment and closing costs, while you provide the keys to the new owner. You’ll also need to bring the following to your closing:

Keys and garage door openers, code compliance certificate(s) if applicable, and photo ID.

We have teamed up with some of the most experienced closing companies to take care of everything, even offering a pre-signing service for those who can’t be present at closing. Whether you’re moving down the street or across the globe, you’ll appreciate the resources offered by our network of companies.
