Home Seller's Guide & Tools

Sellers have enough to worry about in readying their home for market and planning their move to a new home. I will take over a huge number of tasks and details to make sure that your real estate property is properly evaluated, priced, marketed, negotiated and carried to closing.

  • CMA, Comparative Market Analysis

    I help my clients to value their property through a thorough CMA, Comparative Market Analysis reports using current listing price data and past sold comparable property sales.

  • Search Assistance to Understand the Market

    It’s important that I help you to search the MLS® so you can learn about currently listed similar homes in your area. Only by knowing the competition you can set a competitive price.

  • A Marketing Plan that Works

    We have perfected a marketing plan for every type of property in the market. Some things work better in some areas and price ranges than others. I’ll craft a unique plan for your property.

  • Thorough and Objective Home Evaluation

    I consider it my obligation to help you thoroughly and objectively evaluate your home’s condition and features to properly assess how it competes in the current real estate market.

  • Market Updates

    Markets don’t just change monthly, they change daily in many instances. As new listings come on the market and others sell, the supply/demand ratio changes and your price may need to be adjusted. I provide you with regular market updates to keep you in the loop.

  • Price Negotiations

    I do the marketing and property valuation process well, and that means you’ll be seeing a buyer with a contract soon. I will be with you every step of the way in the contract price negotiations and will work to get you the top price possible with the fewest concessions.

  • Inspections & Repair Negotiations

    The negotiations rarely end with the price however once the buyer completes their inspection and document examination processes, they often object to things discovered and request corrective action that involves expense to the seller. I'm here to work with you every step of the way!

  • Contract to Closing Process

    There are more than 50 tasks, objectives and deliveries involved in taking a seller side transaction from contract through a successful closing. I'm on top of all of them to make sure you leave the closing table with a check to move on with life.
