Determine your homes market value

 I’ prepare a competitive market analysis (CMA) which shows recent sales and listings of comparable homes in your neighborhood

We will work together to determine the best price for your home

We may need to spruce up your home to maximize the sales price

I’ll give you excellent staging tips to help your home look great.

Little changes with lighting, pictures & furniture can make a big impact with buyers.  The Sell this house show on HGTV (Channel 49) gives great advice on staging.

5 ways to speed up your home sale

7 steps to prepare for an Open House

We have an offer,  Let’s review the Pros & Cons

I’ll thoroughly review the offer and give you a summary of it’s important points

I will also call the buyer’s lender to confirm as much financial information as possible.  We will review the buyer’s financial sheet together.

7 Key areas to review when an offer comes in

I’ll give you a detailed net profit estimate

The home inspection process

Most buyers will have a home inspection. Many buyers will want to check the Radon levels too

They will ask for repairs to broken items.   We will limit the repairs to major items like the:  roof, plumbing, electric, HVAC, structure & appliances.

I have lots of good contractors you can call for reliable service.

The buyer’s lender wants an appraisal

The bank wants an appraisal to verify that the home’s sale price is reasonable.

I’ll meet the appraiser at your home and give them the facts to support our sales price. My job is to emphasize the features that make your home worth the contract price.

Only about 20% of listing agents take the time to meet the appraiser.  I think this is a critical part of the process.

The buyer should have a full loan commitment in 14-21 days

I will ask their lender to fax this extremely important document to us.  We must have it to prove the buyer’s loan is completely finished. Not all Realtors understand the importance of getting this document as soon as possible.

Of course you will get a copy

Here is a sample loan commitment

It’s time to move out and go to closing/ settlement

The buyers will do a final walk through before closing.  They want to make sure the agreed upon home inspection repairs were made.

Closing takes about 90 minutes; you will receive your profit check at the end

My job is to handle everything from start to finish.

A-Z    You can count on me.
