Pricing is the most important aspect to getting the highest return in the least amount of time. Many considerations go into setting the price, including the condition and location of your property, recent nearby sales, and similar properties that are currently for sale. These will all factor into the Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) I will prepare for you so that you can determine the best sale price for your property.

I tailor a marketing plan to your unique property. It is optimized using a combination of tools, such as digital marketing, advertising, direct mail, and open houses.

Showings are a necessary part of selling. When your home is listed on the market your property has the potential to be shown at any time. It is important to maintain cleanliness. During showings, I recommend stepping out to give potential buyers privacy while viewing the property.

When a buyer is interested, their real estate agent will draw up an offer that I will present to you. In addition to any legal requirements, the offer specifies things such as the price, earnest money, closing terms, contingencies, and other conditions of the purchase.

One of my most important roles as a Realtor is to be an advocate for you. This includes negotiating on your behalf for things such as the price, repair costs, timelines, and contingencies in order to get the best terms for you.

The Purchase and Sale Agreement is the legal contract  between a buyer and seller once the buyer(s) offer has been accepted by the seller(s). It outlines the terms and conditions of the sale and is signed by both parties.

After the Purchase and Sale Agreement is signed by the buyer(s) and the seller(s), a home inspector is hired to examine the home’s health, safety, and major mechanical systems. If issues arise from an inspection, the buyer may be able to renegotiate their offer.

Once the offer is accepted and a closing date is agreed upon, escrow allows the buyer(s) and the seller(s) to have an outside party ensure all parts of the contract are complete.

At closing, all the paperwork is signed by the buyer(s) and the seller(s). Both parties pay any settlement fees assigned to them, and the documents are officially recorded. Prior to closing, you will receive a settlement statement outlining any fees that may apply to you.
