SELLING YOUR PROPERTY

Posted on by askdenisesutton

SHOULD YOU SELL OR RENT?

If you are going to sell—let’s talk first.  Oftentimes there are more options besides selling and if so, we’d like to prepare a RENT VS. SALE analysis for your consideration.

YOU’RE SELLING YOUR PROPERTY

If selling is your decision—let’s talk again so we can help you prepare to get the most profit possible. 

We take a calculated approach toward the selling process.  We will advise you on maintenance, curb appeal, and presentation issues that could likely be a deterrent to buyers and lose you money. 

We will work with you to help get your property in top selling condition so you can present a place or space to make buyers fall in love with it.

  1. We hire a professional photographer to ensure you are putting YOUR best foot forward when we market the property for sale.
  2. We coordinate all showings.
  3. We review and present all offers to you.
  4. We coordinate inspections with buyers and their agents. We assist sellers by going through the report and any requested repairs that we may negotiate. We also have vendors that we work with that can tackle just about any issue that could come up!
  5. We coordinate the appraisal with you and the appraiser to make sure that we are making sure all the special features of your home stand out and are given credit.
  6. We coordinate turnover upon sale.
  7. We assist with every step along the entire process.

HOW TO PICK A LISTING AGENT

It may seem as though choosing an agent to market, negotiate, and help coordinate the process sell your property is as easy as picking a flower from a field, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Having the RIGHT agent to represent you and your property is critical to a successful transaction.  Don’t choose someone just because “they have a license.”  Choose wisely.  Here are some tips and questions to ask:

  • What is their sales price to list price ratio?
  • What is the quality of the photos used in their listings?  Are they done by a professional?
  • What do their signs look like?  Are they noticeable, in good repair, and professional?
  • What is their process for coordinating showings?
  • How long it takes for them to return a phone call.
  • How long they have been active in the real estate business and in what capacity.
  • How many markets have they worked through, such as the housing bubble 2007-2008.
  • Ask if they pass off your sales process to a transaction coordinator or assistant once you are under contract.
  • Ask what they charge for real estate services.

As you may already know, commissions are ALWAYS, AND HAVE ALWAYS been negotiable.  We have three (3) different service packages to help you coordinate your experience to match your budget.

Give us a call today so we can start the process to educate you on your options and how we can help you reach your real estate goals.
