If You are Planning to Sell, Make Sure You Have the Right Real Estate Agent!
When we work with sellers, we’re prepared to go all the way to put together the best deal for you by also making a good deal for your end buyer. This is a crucial step in a winning strategy for you because we focus on delivering the right home to the right buyer, ensuring that they can get the funding to purchase. When you consider a real estate deal this way, you become aware that your money is actually coming from someone else’s bank loan.
That means your home has to be inspected by a bank in order to sell unless, of course, your buyer has cash. Of course, you don’t want this because this gives them too much advantage at negotiation, which drives the price down. Unless you own a distressed property that no bank will finance, we recommend
doing critical repairs that fit within your home’s projected sale budget. That way we have the advantage of using the MLS to market to the biggest pool of qualified buyers.
Once your home is showroom ready, I’ll take some pictures and update your MLS listing. I’ll effectively target anyone who has demonstrated a motivation to buy a similar house in your market, regardless of where they are in the world. Of these people, we look for those with a LOC (letter of credit) from their banks. Then, by driving as much competition over your home, and wowing them on the walk-through, We’ll negotiate every offer to the top of your asking price. We’ll do the same for you. Call us today to find out how we can sell your home quickly for top dollar!

- Why Hire an Agent?
Studies show that sellers who use a real estate agent generally get a better price than those who choose to sell the home themselves. As an agent, it is our job to stay up to date on the latest market trends and fluctuations. Utilizing an agent means no surprises during the selling process, as you will have the latest information at critical junctures in the process. Let us put our experience to work for you to ensure you get the best price for your home!
- Before Your Home is Listed
Prior to listing your home, you’ll want to ensure everything is in good showing condition before buyers start to tour the home. Here are some important things to consider:- Start Packing
Now is the time to put things in storage, clean out the basement and garage and start preparing to show your home. Remove any family photos or personal items. Remember, you want buyers to see themselves in your home! - Spot Paint
Touch up both interior and exterior paint. - Update Carpet
Clean or replace the carpet in areas with heavy wear. - Extra Cleaning
Keep the interior and exterior clean and odor-free. - Curb Appeal
Trim any overgrown bushes, mow the lawn and keep it free of leaves or snow. Make sure the front of the home is clean and appealing. You want to make a strong first impression! - Find Potential Problems Early
Once you’ve completed these steps you may want to hire someone to perform a pre-listing inspection. Buyers will be hiring professional inspectors too; this is your chance to find and address problems before it’s time to sell.
- Start Packing
- Professional Staging
Consider hiring a professional stager to help give buyers the appeal they’re looking for.
- During the Listing Period
You’ll need to plan to have something to do during the time potential buyers visit your home. If initial offers don’t meet your expectations, don’t dismiss them immediately. You may need to consider lowering your asking price if months go by with few or no offers. However, by working with your agent you will be able to arrive at a price that works for all parties.
