Selling your home requires expert experience, a clear understanding of the potential pitfalls, the legal issues, an in-depth knowledge of the current market, top negotiating skills and a Realtor that will listen to your needs. You want it done right.

Selling your home for the best price, terms and conditions can sometimes be overwhelming and stressful. In today’s busy complex world it can also be very time-consuming and complicated. It requires a realtor who knows how to get your home in top showing shape and how to negotiate the best price and terms for you.

I have the specialized training to help you transition to your next home with as little stress as possible. I will help you through every step of the home selling process.

There is much more that I will be doing to sell your home other then what is explained here, which we will discuss when we meet to work out a successful plan to sell your home.

As a seller

Selling a home is a very complex procedure, involving large sums of money, stringent legal requirements and the real potential for very costly mistakes.

As a professional Realtor I have the expertise, and I am committed to spending the time it takes to get the best deal possible for you.

THE SELLING PROCESS:

Step:1
DETERMINE WHAT YOUR REAL ESTATE GOALS ARE

• A. Where you would like to move to and when?

• B. What you would like in your next home?

• C. What area would you like to move to?

• D. What is your main reason for wanting to move;

• E. If you have a mortgage, talk to your mortgage company to find out if your mortgage is portable, are there any costs to discharge or transfer it to your next home and what the costs will be to discharge it.

• F. We will meet to review the plan and how I will help you to successfully achieve your real estate goals.

• G. Establish a TOP selling price for your home;

• H. Put your house on the open market so that everyone that is looking for a home like yours will come to see it.

Step:2

• A. List your homes’ features and what work you have done to the home since you lived there; (form to be either filled out on line or downloaded or to download the form for the client to fill it out on their own)

YOUR HOMES’ FEATURES:

STEP 3:
PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR SALE:

How your home shows is an important step to making sure that you get the best possible price.

Curb Appeal: Let the buyer be impressed with what they see first, make the front of your home welcoming!

REARRANGING: The furniture to make rooms more spacious can help.

CLEAN UP: Buyers want to see how great your home looks.

FIX dripping faucets, sticky doors or drawers and replace any burnt out lights so that the buyers will remember how well your home functions.

MAKE CLOSETS SPACIOUS: Organized closets will appear larger. Box up any unwanted items, keep the basement, the front hall and garage free of any clutter or visual distractions.

MAKE THE KITCHEN & BATHROOMS SPARKLE: They sell homes. Clear the counters, repair damaged caulking in the sinks, tubs and showers. Display your best towels, mats and shower curtains.

DREAM BEDROOMS: Make your bedrooms neat and cozy with your best linens & pillow cases.

When we meet we will review your home to determine if anything else might need to be done.

Use this as a guide to list anything that you think needs to be done to get you the best price:

STEP 4:
PUTTING YOUR HOUSE ON THE MARKET.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

The MLS Listing Agreement:
Is the contract between you and the REAL ESTATE COMPANY that the agent represents. It is the framework for subsequent forms and negotiations. It’s important that the agreement accurately reflects your home’s features, and clearly spells out the rights and obligations of all parties and what is included and excluded with the house. It will show the price and describe all of the details about your home and what you will be leaving with it.

This also allows US to work with all other REAL ESTATE COMPANIES through our MLS® system to maximize the exposure of your home and get you the best price.

There is much more involved to selling your home which I will explain to you when we meet.

Once you receive an acceptable written offer to buy your home then it will be sold. That will be acceptable to you. Your home is now sold.
