DETERMINING FACTORS

FOR IF A PROPERTY WILL SELL OR WILL NOT SELL

PRICING

When pricing your home it is important to carefully consider top market value. Using my competitive market analysis tool, I will suggest your home’s best listing price. I sell homes HIGHER than the market average because I list homes at the correct price from the start.

HOW IT SHOWS

It is important to have your home ready for market on day one. I will help you make sure your home is ready for showings and online by:

•Completing repairs that need to be done

•Decluttering & removing personal items

•Make sure the home is clean and smells fresh

•Cleaning carpets

•Neutralizing spaces and walls

•COMMUNICATION

Actively communicate with you through every step of the process. Diligently sharing feedback from showings, following up with agents after viewing the home, and calling weekly to discuss the progress from the previous week.

PRICING YOUR HOME

TO SELL QUICKLY

Using a scientific market analysis in your area, we will price your home correctly the first time so that it will sell quickly.

If your home is priced at fair market value, it will attract the largest number of potential buyers in the first few weeks.

If a home is overpriced it will attract the fewest number of buyers looking to purchase a home. The majority of home buyers look at a lot of homes, and they quickly get a feel for the price range that homes sell for in a given condition and location.

A PICTURE IS WORTH

A THOUSAND WORDS

A listing's photos are often the first and sometimes only opportunity to attract a potential buyer. Most buyers are finding their homes online and photos are the first impression of your home. Pictures are the key to getting a home noticed, showings scheduled, and therefore sold. As your agent, I will ensure that your listing will be shown in its best light. Many times a buyer has already decided if they are interested in your home just from the pictures online, without ever stepping foot inside your home.

PROPERTY BROCHURES

Utilizing cutting-edge technological solutions, we can narrow in on the most serious buyers. By using virtual tours we can give buyers a good look at your home without disturbing you. Leaving only the more serious buyers to schedule a showing.

COVERED

A secure lockbox will be used

This allows real estate agents access to show buyers your home securely. The lockbox holds the keys to the home and is typically found at the front guarded by a security lock that only licensed agents have access to.

Stow away valuables

Before showings make sure that all valuables are put away and out of sight. This includes even mail left out (which may contain personal information and bank statements). Items of value such as jewelry, artwork, cellphones, and gaming systems should also be out of site. It's a good idea to walk through your house before showings and make sure everything of value is out of sight.

Require appointments for entry

Now that your home is online many know that it is for sale. For your safety, NEVER let a stranger into your home. While it is likely that it is just someone that saw the sign in your yard and is interested in getting a quick look, you just never know. Ask them politely to call your agent who handles all showings.

Remove Prescription Drugs & Medication

Clean out your medicine cabinets and any other place you may store medications and hide them away. There have been more and more stories of people intentionally going to home showings to take medications freely.

Put Away Bills & Other Mail Pieces

With identity theft on the rise it is important to put away all mail pieces with your information on them. If this information ends up in the wrong persons hands, it can easily lead to identity theft.

Be extra vigilant on keeping doors locked

Often times a home for sale means home owners are not at home. So be sure to always keep your doors and windows locked.

Keeping your home safe

Once your listing goes live, we provide all the necessary shoe covers, hand sanitizer, protective gear, and friendly reminder signs for all of your showings.

superior online

exposure

networking

signage

A sign will be placed in your yard as well as pointers and open house signs before an open house. These will be placed at the most opportune times to gain the most exposure.

Buyers in today’s market first start their search online. Not only will your home be featured in the local MLS, it will also be featured on the major 3rd party real estate sites, and syndicated to hundreds of other listing sites.

A large percentage of real estate transactions happen with co-operating agents in the country. I will expose your listing to this market.

flyers

lockboxes

Highly informative and creative property flyers will be displayed inside your home. These help potential buyers remember the key items and unique features of your home.

Lockboxes enhance home security by allowing agents to access the property conveniently as owners are expected to vacate the premises during showings. Having a lockbox makes this process much easier for all involved.

An email will be sent to our current buyer database of thousands of buyers searching for properties on my website. A new listing email alert will go out to my agent network of thousands of agents in the area.

showings

open houses

social media

After reviewing many surveys, we have discovered the perfect formula for what day is best to list a home and the perfect day for an open house.

We practice regular social media marketing on today’s top social sites which include and are not limited to: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest.

When we list your home, you will also be signed up with a showing service that immediately communicates with you when a showing is scheduled. When feedback isn’t left, I will follow up with those agents requesting their feedback within

24 hours.

WHERE DO BUYERS

FIND THEIR HOME?

Get Featured

I will feature your home on the top home search sites, and on social media and syndicate it to over 400+ other sites.

Homes that receive the top 10% of page views sell an average of 30 days faster!

OFFERS

CONTINGENCIES

The fewer contingencies on an offer the better. Shorter time periods are also valuable.

ALL CASH BUYER

A cash offer is usually more appealing than a finance offer as the seller doesn’t need to worry about the bank approving the loan.

PRE-APPROVAL

Assures home sellers that the buyer can get the loan they need.

LOAN TYPE

A conventional loan is often the least complicated. This is an appealing choice for sellers. An FHA loan can cause delays because they require certain repairs and approvals.

CLOSING TIMELINE

You might need to close quickly to move on to the next adventure, or you might need to extend the closing to allow time for the next home to be ready. Choosing the offer with the closing time that fits your needs will be most attractive to you.

CLOSING COSTS

Sometimes an offer comes in high, but the buyer asks you to pay a percentage of the buyer’s closing costs.

REPAIR REQUESTS

If the home needs some repairs, but you don’t have the time or money to do them, a buyer who is willing to do them for you might be what you need.

OFFER PRICE

Of course, price matters too! If a high offer will cost you more in closing costs, repairs, or other factors—then it probably won’t be the better offer.

NEgotiations

inspections

FAQ

INSPECTION TIME FRAME:

TYPICALLY 10-14 DAYS AFTER SIGNING CONTRACT. NEGOTIATIONS USUALLY HAPPEN WITHIN 5 DAYS

COSTS:

NO COST TO THE SELLER. THE BUYER WILL CHOOSE AND PURCHASE THE INSPECTION PERFORMED BY THE INSPECTOR OF THEIR CHOICE.

POSSIBLE OUTCOMES:

INSPECTIONS AND POTENTIAL REPAIRS ARE USUALLY ONE OF THE TOP REASONS A SALE DOES NOT CLOSE.

COMMON PROBLEMS COULD BE:

FOUNDATION, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, PESTS, STRUCTURAL, MOLD, OR RADON

UPON COMPLETION:

If the buyer is seeking a loan to purchase your home they will need to have an appraisal performed by the bank to verify the home is worth the loan amount. As a seller we want the property to appraise for at least the sale amount or more. It is very difficult to successfully contest your appraisal. An experienced agent demonstrates certain strategies to reveal the value of the home prior to the appraisal.

You are in the clear, and closing can be begin!

•Renegotiate the sale price with the buyer

•Renegotiate with the buyer to cover the difference

•Cancel and re-list

•Consider an alternative all-cash offer

CLOSING tHE SALE

WHAT TO EXPECT

Closing is when funds and documents are transferred in order to transfer ownership of the property to the buyer. The escrow officer will look over the contract and find out what payments are owed by who, prepare documents for closing, perform the closing, make sure all payoffs are completed, the buyer’s title is recorded, and that you receive payoffs that are due to you.

FINAL STEPS

CANCEL POLICIES

Once title transfer has occurred contact your insurance agent to cancel your policy so you can receive a refund of any prepaid premiums.

CLOSE ACCOUNTS

Cancel utilities and close those accounts. Keep a list of phone numbers for each of your utility and entertainment companies.

CHANGE ADDRESS

Let everyone know your new address. Submit a change-of-address form to the post office.

TURN EVERYTHING OFF

Turn off valves to the sinks, toilets, appliances, and water heater. Turn off all light switches and fans. Lastly, call the electric company.

DOCUMENTS

Secure all closing documents as well as the contract and closing documents. Keep them in a safe place.

GATHER HOME PAPERWORK

Put together a packet of manuals, receipts, and any warranties as well. 

CLEAR OUT PERSONALS

Move out your personal belongings completely. Check all drawers, cabinets, and closets.

CLEAN

Ensure that your home is completely clean upon leaving the home. Clean the cabinets, refrigerators, and other appliances inside and out. Thoroughly clean out the garage. Schedule trash pick up prior to the day of closing. Leave your home the way you would like to find it if you were the buyer.

INCIDENTALS

Leave all house keys, remotes, gate keys, pool keys, and mailbox keys in a drawer in the kitchen.

FLOORS

Vacuum and sweep floors one more time
