Contact Us For a Free Consultation
You can contact us any time to schedule a free consultation about selling your home. During our meeting, we'll gather learn about your individual selling needs and requirements: Why are you selling? What is your time frame? What is your desired selling price? |
Market Research and Analysis
To help you prepare for selling your home we'll perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to see what other similar homes in your neighborhood are selling for. The CMA is a useful tool to help determine the ‘Market Value' of your home. The CMA will reflect current market conditions in your area of homes for sale, under contract and recently sold. |
Home Sales Strategy and Pricing
We will review the market analysis and CMA together with you in detail and provide you with our best estimate of the True Market value of your home. This information will help you arrive at a competitive list price for your home based on what you can expect it to sell for in the current market. We will also inspect your home with you and make recommendations on how to make it more appealing to buyers. |
Listing Agreement
A listing agreement is a contract between the seller and the listing broker that specifies the terms and conditions of listing the home for sale. During our meeting we'll arrive at mutually agreeable terms which will guide each of us during the selling process. The primary issues we'll agree on together include the length of the listing period, the desired selling price, and the amount of commission to be paid. |
Marketing Plan
We are experts at marketing homes. We understand what buyers are looking for and we can help you stage your home for maximum buyer impact. Our foremost marketing goal is to get your home in front of as many prospective buyers as possible. |
Showing Your Home
We'll place a professional ‘Your Castle' Real Estate For Sale sign in front of your home along with a brochure box full of color brochures. We also prepare ‘Special Feature' cards to place at strategic locations inside your home that will communicate your homes unique features and benefits to prospective buyers during showings. |
Buyer and Buyer Agent Feedback
We employ a variety of innovative techniques to gather feedback from potential buyers and buyer agents that tour your home. We'll review the comments with you and address any particular concerns that may come up. We'll also advise you with our professional opinion on what, if any, adjustments may be needed with our marketing, sales and pricing strategies. |
Property Inspections
After the sales contract is signed by both parties, there are several important inspections that must be performed before the closing. Some of these include a home inspection, radon testing and lender appraisal. In some cases a home energy audit may also be required. We will guide you throughout the process and make sure the paperwork is correctly completed on-time. |
Title Work
When the inspections are complete to the buyer and lender's satisfaction, the purchase contract and supporting documents will be delivered to the closing title company to begin the title work, order a survey, if needed and begin preparing the final settlement documents. |
Contract Management and Negotiations
There is considerable paperwork involved with selling your home. Our team will manage the entire paperwork process and conduct negotiations on your behalf on all contractual issues. |
Closing: The Final Step to Selling Your Home
On the day of closing, the buyer may conduct a final walk thru of the home. They will verify that any work required from the inspections has been performed and confirm that the home is substantially in the same condition as the day of contract execution. Afterwards, they'll proceed to the closing at the title company. |
Periodic Follow-up Afterwards
We'll check in with you periodically to address any questions or concerns that may come up and to inform you of any real estate related news or local information about your community. |
