Listing Your Property

Getting your home sold with proven sales and marketing strategy

 

  • Selling a home for the highest possible price requires a cohesive strategy, deliberate process and a talented team.
  • I follow a strategic plan to get your home sold for top dollar, as quickly as possible.
  • First, I analyze both market conditions and the property to determine how best to position it in the current market.
  • Based on my analysis, I develop a marketing plan and execute it with the intention of generating quality offers from qualified buyers.
  • Prep your home, bring it to the market and show your property.
  • Then, I negotiate fiercely on your behalf and when both parties agree on price and terms, we proceed to the closing process.

A buyer who walks into your home mostly considers three important questions:

  1. Do I love the location?
  2. Do I love the layout and the finishes?
  3. Do I think it’s appropriately priced for both number one and number two?

 

I have outlined the sale process into five steps. In our consultation meeting, we will look at each of these steps in greater detail:

PHASE 1

Discovery, Analyze and Position (Price, preparation, presentation)

 

PHASE 2

Develop a Marketing Plan (Staging, photography, advertising, social media)

PHASE 3

Showings and Open House (Market Launch and show property to buyers)

 

PHASE 4

Negotiate (Negotiating the terms for the sale and who pays what)

 

PHASE 5

Closing (You’ve accepted an offer and now the countdown begins. Congratulations! )

FAQs

First impressions matter in business, but especially in real estate. Anyone walking through a house or touring it virtually will be looking for ways to pass or negotiate down on the price. I work with you to make sure that the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical system all work properly. Each room should look clean and decluttered with no overt damage insight.
I use comparable sales or “comps” to determine fair market value and perform what’s called a comparative market analysis. The report generated will include the following: Closest homes in similarity that have sold close to the property. Similar homes are currently under contract but haven’t closed yet. Competing properties that are currently for sale at the general price point.

Getting a pre-sale home inspected is always a good idea, especially if there will be fixes and issues you may not have been aware of. To get pro active with your home condition, it will always help to get the best price for your home. Many homebuyers will hire their own inspector.
Depends on the market, the property and pricing. If the market is fairly hot, a seller could see their house off the market within a week. On the flip side, if there is a lull in the market or issues arise such as house conditions or negotiation then the property can sit on the market for months.
The selling price of a house fluctuates depending on multiple factors. The most common ones are the neighborhood and what similar-sized houses are currently selling for. Also, look at the age and condition. Do major repairs need to be done? If so, that might lower the property. And again, the market matters. Like everything else, home prices vary depending on supply and demand. My job as a realtor is to best inform you about these different factors and accurately list your house.
A public tax assessor gives the assessed value for a property. This assessment typically occurs yearly for taxation purposes. The fair market value is an agreed-upon price between a willing buyer and seller. There is usually a difference between the assessed value and market value. For homeowners, the assessed value is a double-edged sword. Because, if their annual assessed value increased then their yearly taxes will also be raised. On the flip side, when selling a house it can help boost its market value.
In a real estate transaction, the agent is usually paid by the seller via commission as opposed to a flat free. Typically, a real estate commission fee is 5–6% of the home’s final sale price. In many cases, both the buyer’s agent and the seller’s agent split the commission fee 50/50. Both receiving 2.5–3%.
