SELLING CENTER


Looking to Sell Your Property?

As your listing agency, these are some of the Seller Services we provide:

  • We meet with Sellers to determine their reasons for selling and determine their timeline.
  • We provide comparable sales to Seller's property to assist in pricing the property to sale.  Proper pricing is key to getting properties sold in a timely fashion.  
  •  We advise on repairs and improvements and provide staging strategies that aid in getting properties sold for the most money.
  • We establish a marketing plan and marketing time table for getting Seller properties SOLD.
  • We provide proper documents to Sellers for them to fill out concerning their property.  These are required of Sellers per State Law.  We keep them on file to provide potential Buyers.
  • Once offers are received, we evaluate any offers and advise on counteroffers. 
  • We negociate on Seller's behalf.
  • Once all parties agree in a contract, we prepare the postcontract work list and take the necessary steps to get our Sellers to the closing table.
  • We coordinate and supervise all document preparation and provide preclosing consulting.
  • We ensure all closing documents are in place for closing and review them with the Sellers.
  • We resolve any issues that may arise at the last minute.  We try to avoid these in being on top of everything throughout the contract process.
  • We coordinate closing date and time and attend the closing with our Sellers.
  • We review the HUD, go over it with our Sellers, and answer any questions they may have.
  • We assist with any postclosing issues.

Selling Recommendations

Debbie’s Dozen to Bring My Sellers More Money
  1. Cultivate curb charisma.  Some of the best buyers are the most impatient because they need to make a decision fast.  If the view of your house from the street turns them off, they might not even stop.  Shape up your front yard.
  2. Take a critical look at your house’s front.  If it’s weathered looking, if anything needs repair, or if anything needs to be hauled to the dump-eliminate these problems.  Don’t turn your buyers off outside before the inside can turn them on.
  3. Never stay in your house with house hunters.  Let the agent handle it, and remove yourself if you possibly can.  Remember, the agent has worked for many hours with these potential buyers, knows what they’re looking for, and how to work with them.  Let him or her do the job without interference.
         You may think an agent isn’t showing the important features of your house, but the agent knows buyers aren’t sold by details until they’ve become emotionally involved with the big picture of your house.  The presence of any member of the sellers’ family can’t help, always unnerves possible buyers, and often prevents a sale.  Don’t put this obstacle in your path.  Leave when buyers are coming.
  4. Give your dogs and cats a vacation.  They need it and so does your pocketbook.   Having pets around (especially aggressive dogs) when you’re selling your home can be incredibly expensive.  Many people are acutely uncomfortable around some animals, and simply can’t think buy when their minds are on bye.
  5. A few cans of paint and putty to brighten up your home’s interior are the best investment you can make when you’re selling a house.
  6. Drips do more than run up your water bill.  They focus the attention of possible buyers on your house’s entire plumbing system, and cause them to worry.  Fix these little problems before they cost you a sale.
  7. Squeaking doors and creaking floors, torn or missing screens, cracked glass, and anything in need of repair dampens the house hunter’s enthusiasm.  Many buyers believe there will always be ten problems they haven’t noticed for every one they see.
  8. Hide (or neatly arrange) everything connected with work:  lawnmowers, garden hoses, vacuum cleaners, and all the gear you use to fix up the house.  Accent everything connected with play and relaxation:  sound systems, skis, toys in the kids’ rooms.
  9. De-clutter.  Repack compactly, dispose of unneeded items, or rent storage space and move out as much material as you can.  Your home’s storage space can’t look adequate to a buyer if you’ve got it jam-packed.
  10. Turn up the shelter.  If it’s hot, cool it; if it’s cold, light a crackling fire.
  11. Harmonize the elements.  Turn the music on softly and the TV off.  Turn on all lights, day or night.  Open the drapes in the daytime.
  12. You can sell pride of ownership faster and for more money.  It’s called cleanliness, and fresh cleanliness has more buyers than dirt.  Put sparkle in your bathrooms and kitchen.
