Welcome sellers to your area of my website!  Selling a home can be a challenge, especially in today's real estate environment.  From implementing my custom marketing plan to guiding you through showings, negotiations, inspections and closing, I will make the entire process as smooth as possible.

The Selling Process:

Compare Agents - It's important to compare Realtors prior to listing your home.  What kind of services will they provide?  What is their knowledge like of the area?  Do they have a concrete marketing plan for selling my home?  What commission do they charge?  Do I feel comfortable with this agent?  These questions are important when choosing a Realtor to sell your home.

Pre-listing Meeting - Prior to putting the home on the market, I like to sit down with sellers and go over some items that can add value.  Whether it involves some organizing and de-cluttering or some fresh paint and new flooring, this is beneficial in selling your home quickly and for top dollar. 

Comparable Market Analysis - One of the most critical steps in listing your home is setting the correct price.  A home that reflects the current market conditions will sell faster.  I perform a detailed analysis of comparable homes that have sold recently and determine a fair market price for your home.  You are provided with a hard copy of this report.

Showings - My online showing calendar keeps you up-to-date on showing schedulings.  Forget when a particular showing is?  No problem, the calendar is available to you 24/7 and is updated in real time.  In addition, you are able to log on and view instant agent feedback from their showings of your home - which is an extremely valuable tool.

Offer and Negotiations - So an offer comes in from an interested buyer.  The contract to purchase your home will have many important deadlines, provisions, and addendums that I explain to you prior to signing.  Moreover, I guide you through the back-and-forth negotiations that will ensue.  As your agent, I always strive to get you the best possible price with the best and most convenient terms.

Inspections - Once the contract and its terms have been finalized, there will be inspections of your home.  Some of the inspections can include a whole house, termite, well and septic, and radon and can request that repairs or certain remedies be made.

Closing - Prior to closing on your home, I go over with you the settlement statement, which lists all the seller fees and the mortgage payoff (if applicable).  This is an extremely important document so making sure that everything is in order is crucial.
