Close the door
on your old home.

You love and cherish your home. You want the next owner to fall in love with it, too — through photos, through words, and through the experience of walking through your front door. But, perhaps most, you want to get the price you want.

This isn’t a small task. It’s been your home, where you’ve lived and made memories. Chances are good it’s your most important asset and your biggest investment so far. Wrestling with the emotional heft of putting your home on the market is a difficult byproduct of real estate — but when you seal the deal and move on to your next chapter  — wow, what a feeling. 

WHATS YOUR HOME WORTH?

Unless you bought your home last week, the housing market changed since you became a homeowner. Mortgage rates fluctuate, inventory shifts over time — these are just a few of the factors that affect the state of the market, and every market is unique.

How much is your home worth? That’s the … $300,000 question. Whatever the number, you need to know it. Homes that are priced right from day one sell in fewer days and get better offers from interested buyers.

Get your home priced effectively. Schedule an appointment to receive a personalized and thorough market analysis of your property.  

SHOWCASE YOUR HOME

Home buyers have unfettered access to property listings online, so you have to make a great first impression — on the internet and in real life. That means you’ll have to declutter all the stuff you’ve accumulated over the years, make any necessary repairs, and get your home in swoon-worthy condition.

The best marketed homes go beyond an MLS listing and sign in the yard. They have beautiful photos and compelling property descriptions that help buyers envision themselves living there. Staging your home, social media, open houses, and even videos can amount to increased buyer interest. Together we'll review all the best ways to promote your unique property.   

Let's throw open the doors — Dazzle buyers with your home's best assets — And make someone fall head over heels for your charming abode.

Negotiate & CLOSE THE SALE

Your positioned to receive attractive bids. And Yes, you might get offers, plural, depending on the market.

To get the best deal for you, we'll review each offer and likely have to do some negotiating. We'll talk about what you want, review what you'll net from the sale and discuss a strategic counteroffer to the buyer’s offer, factoring in not only money, but contingencies, etc. You'll have my best advice on tap. When you finally have the deal you want -  you'll sign a purchase agreement and your home will be under contract.

Next up, the home inspection. It’s as much a source of anxiety for buyers as it is for sellers. Nonetheless, most purchase agreements are contingent on a home inspection (plus an appraisal, which will be managed by the buyer’s lender). This gives the buyer the ability to inspect the home from top to bottom and request repairs. You have some room to negotiate, including about certain repairs. Once again, I'll be there to help you effectively communicate with the buyer.

Your settlement date will be scheduled. You'll move out and prepare your home for the buyer’s final walk-through, troubleshooting any last-minute issues. At your settlement, you'll sign the final paperwork, make this whole thing official, and collect your check.
