Whether you need a bigger home or are downsizing, your decision to move is the key. Where are you planning on moving too? Whatever the reason, our real estate team is here to assist you.

When it comes to selling your home, you want to get the highest price possible. But how do you maximize your sales price? How can you make your home more attractive than the competition? How long will it take? How much will I receive when I sell?

Pricing Your Home

Our real estate team will tour your home with you to understand what you have down to improve your home over the years.
We will research recent sales in the area just like an appraiser would to establish a market value for a buyer to get a loan from a bank
We will prepare a “Total Market Overview Report” to help you understand current market trends in the city, neighborhood and zip code of where you live. Plus, we will share with you the current market value of your home.

“But, Jay, can’t I just go to Zillow or Trulia and
figure out how much my home is worth?”

[/callout]

No. Both of those real estate magazine type sites use estimation modeling and will give you an estimate… but that could be off by as much as 30% or more. And you do want to sell your home for the most money possible, don’t you?

We will provide you several “Seller Net Sheets” to show you how much equity you will have after the sale of your home
80% of the Marketing of your home is done when you decide at what price to list your home.

Is Your Home in Show Ready Condition

We will tour your home with you and point out areas for you to consider updating or improving to maximize your home price.
Perhaps a home stager will be able to assist you with making it look more attractive to potential buyers
Go outside and evaluate your home from the curb. Curb appeal is critical to home buyers. Mow the lawn, add flowers, etc. We will help you make a list.
Remove unnecessary furniture to make rooms look bigger
If you have some cool pets, there may be some odors that need to be eliminated if possible.

Marketing that Generates Offers

Your home will be advertised on the top 40 online real estate portals

We will share with you all of our marketing plans that we have access to when we meet with you in person.

Follow Up Feedback

How do you like to communicate? Communication has evolved since the invention of the cell phone.

We will be in touch with you to update you weekly by phone, text message or email with feedback from other agents and their buyers about your home.
We will provide you with property view statistics of your home
We will answer our phones during normal business hours unless we are with a client or on another call. Good old fashion phone calls work the best.
We want to talk to all agents that are showing your home so we can point out a few features and benefits of living there. But we never reveal how flexible you are in selling your home. We always share with them the listed price

Receiving and Evaluating Offers

This is exciting and you need to consider all of the terms of each offer. We have a list of 15 items to look for in every offer that will be included in your copy of “Getting Your Home Sold” authored by Jay Valento.
We will analyze each offer and give you suggestions so you can accept the offer, counter it or reject the offer.

Home Inspections & Disclosures

The buyer has the right to investigate the condition of your home. Most hire home inspectors and some will hire a pool inspector or roofing contractor. All scheduling of these will be coordinated between all parties through our real estate team.
When selling a home, you will have a set of disclosure documents that you are required to share with the buyer. We will go over them with you so that they protect your interests in the sale of your home.

Final Closing

The buyer has signed off on all contingencies of the sale. We will share with you all of them in person.
The buyer’s loan is approved and he/she has signed loan documents
Our transaction coordinator and reviewed all of the documents and has all the necessary signatures and agreements in place. (no extra charge for the transaction coordinator)
We are always here to answer your questions
Yippee, it’s over and you can move!!!!
