Selling your home is an important life decision, and there are many variables to consider. Of course, price is paramount; however, equally important will be a successful closing. Timing, contractual obligations, occupancy periods, and logistics must also be carefully planned for. With your goals in place we can adjust your terms and price accordingly to meet your needs. My clients value the service and guidance that I provide throughout this decision making process. 

Well designed ads and a thorough and accurate listing description, along with my professional photography, and videography work will guarantee your home stands out! Our online platforms, agent-to-agent referrals, traditional media and SEO advertising will put your listing in front of as many buyers as possible. Furthermore, documents such as surveys and deed restrictions will be reviewed for maximum buyer understanding.

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then beautiful high-quality images could be worth thousands of dollars when selling your home. I’ll make your property look its very best, with my professional photography that encourages buyers who are browsing online to slow down and take notice.

Once we price your home, it’s time to get it ready to be shown to potential buyers. This includes reducing clutter, depersonalizing the space, making any small repairs, and doing a deep clean to make sure your home is in pristine condition. When buyers are able to visualize themselves in a home, it strengthens their connection to the property giving them a sense of urgency. We will maximize your home's potential in today's market.

Each visitor that enters your home is a potential buyer, and I will be well prepared to share the details and features of what makes your home unique. Immediate response turnaround time on inquiries from agents and buyers is equally important. Knowing many buyers shop for listings online, your property will have an active online presence. Virtual live tours will also be utilized and can be an advantage in today's market.

STEP 6: EVALUATE ALL OFFERS

Receiving an offer is an exciting part of the process, but the journey is not over. We will evaluate each offer and make sure the party making the offer is preapproved. Along with securing a winning price, there will also be terms, conditions, time frames, and possession that will also need a strong negotiator. I will guide you through the process and develop the best strategy and timeline for reviewing and considering all offers until the right one is ready to be accepted.

STEP 7: ACCEPTING AN OFFER

Once we deem an offer is acceptable, we will review the proposed contract to make sure it's in order and includes the necessary components such as deposit, down payment, financing, inspection rights, contingencies, and settlement date. I will handle all of the moving parts with the inspector, title company, lender, appraiser and buyer so that your transaction closes on time with minimal uncertainty and surprises.  

STEP 8: A SUCCESSFUL CLOSING

When you close on a home you are selling, you are legally transferring ownership of the property to the new buyer. We will meet with the title company to sign the final paperwork and go over any issues that have not yet been taken care of. During this time, I can also assist you with handling the final details such as canceling utilities, cable, and lawn or trash services, changing the name on accounts that the new owner is retaining and ensuring the new owner has instructions for all appliances that will remain in the home.
