The Intelligent Way to Sell Your Property
Selling your property is a team effort, the three main reasons a home sells may be identified as:
-
Setting the correct Price
-
Making sure the property is in a Condition that reflects the price
-
Marketing the property effectively
Price:
The price is set by the seller with information provided by my team, we examine the market conditions and present a comprehensive study of how the market is responding to buyer demand. if the price is too high the property will not been seen by the buyers who are qualified. e.g. If you have set your price at $260,000 hoping to receive an offer in the $240,000 range. If the buyer asks their realtor to look for home under $250,000 - they will not see your home.
If you are lucky enough to receive an offer in the range you have priced it, the house still has to appraise by the mortgage company if the property is to be financed. Over pricing a property can be costly and frustrating for the seller. By having all the information you can make an informed decision. Some realtors will allow you to price your property too high to get their sign in the yard, then beat you down in price. That is a waste of everyones time and marketing dollars.
Some sellers are finding themselves in a negative equity situation where they owe more than the property is worth. Do not worry, we are there to assist you and you can find more information on how we get you to your goal by reading how we manage 'short sales'.
Condition:
The price of the property must take into account the condition it is in. Our team will give you honest feedback and suggest low cost ways too put your property into a sales ready condition.
Marketing:
This is the part that differentiates us from the other real estate agents.
We Are Where the Buyers Are !!!
All creditable sources tell us the Internet is where about 90% of buyers start their search and then they will call a real estate agent once they have narrowed their search. One of the frustrating aspects of our job is seeing a property listed by an agent who could not even be bothered to check spelling in a description of a property that is broadcast to the world on the Internet. Photographs which do not show the property effectively, if they don't care about these details, how are they going to represent you when it comes to tough negotiations where every detail counts.
Be Where the Buyers Are !!!
Our marketing services, unlike some brokerages are FREE, we only get paid if your property sells. We place your property on realtor.com and many other sites where buyers start their search. There are many other internet locations including realestatebook.com and even our competition feature our listings at Coldwell Banker and Remax also many others.

Printed Advertising
We use local newspaper advertising and send just listed cards and will be able to show you copies of this media.
Role of the MLS
Once your property is listed and the sign is on the lawn, the information begins to flow. The details of your home are placed in MLS then thousands of people will receive a notification that it was ‘Just Listed’.
Realtors automatically set the MLS to send property within specified criteria straight to their e-mail addresses and also to their client base. You will be set up in MLS as if you were a buyer in the same range and area as your property, you will constantly know who your competition is. You will also be notified about any important market changes.
Title Services
With a title office inside my building, I am able to conduct all the preliminary title searches immediately you are listed. I then avoid many of the pitfalls that are normally encountered at the time a purchase contract is executed.
Mortgage Services
We offer our buyers an opportunity to explore their financing options before they start their property search, therefore we put qualified buyers in front of sellers. We have worked with our mortgage partners for many years and their goal is to provide you with the best possible options.
