My Role as a Seller's Agent

Guide you through preparing your home for sale

I walk through your home and address any of your questions or concerns about the house prior to listing. I provide feedback and recommendations for the best outcome.

Determine a competitive sale price

I provide a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to show recent homes sales of comparable properties in your neighborhood and we work together to determine the most competitive sale price.

Market your home for a quick sale

I market your home in the best light possible which in most cases includes hiring a professional photographer and distributing those images and information about the property to the widest distribution.

Negotiate on your behalf

When the offers start to roll in I describe to you how one offer compares to another. I advise on the pros and cons. Then, I negotiate to get you the best deal possible. Initial offers are not the only thing to be negotiated during a home sell.

Inform you of federal, state and local requirements

There are many jurisdictional and contractual requirements and timelines associated with selling a home, I keep you abreast of those requirements during the sale of your home.

Facilitate the sales transaction

I manage the transaction from beginning to end. I facilitate inquires from buyers, lenders, title company, etc. I save you time and the stress of managing the transaction and staying on top of communications between various people.

And much more…

No two real estate transactions are alike, you want an agent who is nimble and experienced to be prepared to guide you through a smooth sale.

How should I prepare?

Make any final preparations you and I have discussed. Declutter your home, remove an excess amount of personal photos, family heirlooms, etc. Organize each of the rooms, including the closets and don’t forget the garage.  Complete a thorough cleaning of the home making sure to make the kitchen and bathrooms sparkle.  Most importantly do not forget the curb appeal, mow the lawn, clean up the flower bed and remove the hornets nest above the garage!

Both agents and buyers understand it’s hard to market a home while you’re living in it but I encourage my seller's to keep sight of the goal. Keep the house as clean as possible at all times. When buyers are coming to view the property try to step away. Use the time as an opportunity to run an errand or enjoy some family time. I set up automatic notifications to inform my seller's when a showing is scheduled. If the house is expected to be vacant, while on the market, I typically check on the property in addition to you to ensure it's in peak showing condition.

Expect to make the house available to the buyer and licensed professionals should your contract include contingencies such as a home inspection and/or appraisal. Be preapared for any findings the inspector might identify during an inspection.  This usually gives homeowners some heartburn, especially if the buyer requests repairs but don't fret we work together and I do all the negotiating for you!

Amost there!

You can see the light at the end of the tunnel, you have come so far! There may be a last minute details to take care of but we are almost there! Keep up the great work! Be prepared to bring a valid identification to settlement.
