Sell

Before listing the home, I am happy to meet with you at the house and can give you some tips of things you can do to appeal to a broader base of potential buyers, from repairs, decor or staging.

Each buyer puts different value on every property. I will go over other similar house sales in your neighborhood, to determine its approximate value and suggest a price that should get you the best offers. 

There's a wide variety of paperwork that needs to be completed when selling a property, it's not just the listing papers. I will assist you with state forms, disclosures, legal documents and other papers. 

When available, we can provide buyers with your copies of floorplans, surveys, list of special features or improvements, and any other relevant items intended to aid buyers in their decision-making process.

The industry has embraced a company called ShowingTime, which is a web based real estate agent appointment center. It logs all requested showings and will alert you when an agent wants to book or cancel an appointment.

Easy, secure access to the home is important, which is why we utilize electronic lockboxes from GE Security. They only allow access to licensed agents during specific hours of the day with access logs, so we know who is coming and going.

While your attorney is reviewing the contract with the buyer's attorney, I will monitor all correspondence and offer my assistance when needed.

Once under contract, the buyer usually makes a deposit. I will do my best to ensure that deposit was made.

When and if home inspection issues arise, I will do my best to lend a hand to work our way thru them in order to keep things moving forward.

Mortgage commitments from the buyer's bank are due on a specific date. I will follow up to ensure their bank is preparing to close.

Sellers are usually required to obtain municipal certificates such as Certificate of Occupancy (CO) or Fire & Smoke before closing. When clients are not local or incapable of obtaining them, I will try to assist.

I generally attend all of my client's closings, because I'm often able to help when a problem pops up at the closing table.
