A Real Estate Seller's Guide
In selecting a real estate
agent to represent you it helps to seek out that agent who has the experience and
qualifications that will make your transaction as worry free and successful as possible
for you. A good company is only as good as its agents. The time you spend selecting the
right REALTORŪ will be worth the effort and will make the sale of your home a good
experience.
Whether with Sellers or Buyers we Communicate
We talk about your needs, your goals and how we can best help you reach them. We feel that
keeping in touch with our clients is of utmost importance in the real estate process.
The Analysis of your Home
Our professional team will prepare a
Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to help you better understand the market place of homes
in your area. We will counsel with you regarding your home offering ideas which may help
enhance its sale.
The Price is Important
It is your home to sell, we can only provide
the information to assist in making the pricing decision. Prices in the real estate market
are continually fluctuating. Buyers today are as aware of the neighborhood prices as are
Sellers so the best thought is to price your home in a conservative/aggressive manner. We
are always willing to work with our clients in trying to get the most for their home.
Overpricing your home may bring you less than if the home is priced to meet the market
conditions. It's best not to select your real estate agent because of the high price they
give you this could end up costing you money in the long run.
Experience/Qualification
Years in the business can only count if your
real estate agent can back up the time with the continuing commitment to professionalism.
What sometime seems like alphabet soup after an agents name is really their commitment to
continuing their education to best provide services to the client. We care about providing
the most professional service to our clients.
Sales Performance
We have been very successful in our real
estate careers but our sales volume is only important when it involves the sale of your
home.
Statistics
We will share Market Average Statistics and
our statistics with you when we present our marketing plan.
Marketing Plan
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is the
stepping stone from which we will jump into the marketing of your home. From that small
step we will leap into a pro-active marketing campaign which includes mailings to several
spheres of influence including other agents we know do a good job in this area, your
neighbors - who best to sell the special features of a neighborhood but someone who lives
there, and move up buyers; real estate advertising, networking; and advertising on the
Internet are some of the methods which will be part of our stradegy to get your home
marketed.
We are members of several national referral
networks including perhaps two of the most successful and well respected - the Certified
Residential Specialists (CRS) and the Women's Council of REALTORSŪ (WCR).
Marketing to Success
The marketing process involves exposing your
home in many different ways; selling the home and advising you through the negotiations
and bring the transaction to a close in a professional manner.
Marketing times may vary due to the market
conditions, condition of the property, proper pricing, area and even the time of year.
Working together we will be able to accomplish your goal of getting the house SOLD.
