Selling Your Home?
Selling your home is an involved process that affects your family and your future.  Before you begin this process you'll want to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information.  When should you sell?  How do you get the best price?  What kinds of improvements should be made prior to listing?

When you're armed with the right information and an experienced real esate professional, like myself, you'll be closer to reaching your goal - selling your home fast and for the best price. 

The correct selling price of a home is the highest price that the market will bear.  To assist you in determining the correct asking price I will provide you with a view of the market from 3 prospectives.  First, it's a look at current houses on the market that you will be competing against for buyers.  Second, it's a look at properties that have already sold, so we have a good idea what buyers are willing to pay.  And finally, it's a look at homes that didn't sell, to help avoid pricing the home where it won't sell at all. Remember that price will correct bad condition, but condition will never overcome a bad price

The best price you can get in this market is the one you can get now. If you wait, it will probably be lower.  Keller Williams research shows that sellers who listed their homes at the price the agent originally recommended, sold 38 days faster!

To provide a more detailed Comparative Market Analysis, I will be more than happy to assess your listing in person.

 As Your Agent, I Will:
  • Complete a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that will compare your home's value to similar homes in your area.
  • Compile a comprehensive plan detailing all the efforts I will employ to sell your home, including Internet and local media.
  • Suggest a listing price I feel will sell your home within 60 days
  • Present your home to as many qualified buyers as possible getting your home maximum exposure.
  • Set all appointments to view your home through the Keller Williams full service front desk. The front desk is available 7 days a week and will call you to confirm all appointments.
  • Reply to all calls, emails or web site inquiries on your home promptly.
  • Assist with obtaining offers, make sure buyers are pre-approved and help you in negotiating the best deal as smoothly as possible.
  • Set up all necessary title work.
  • Check and review all closing documents with you for accuracy before closing.
  • Set up a convenient time and place to close on your home.
Whether you are moving to a different area or looking for a nicer, bigger home, selling your home now can get you into the home of your dreams. Lower home prices are a great opportunity for the savvy homeowner looking to move up. Even though your home price may be lower, the smaller loss on the sale can be made up by greater savings or eventual profit on the home you purchase. Plus, the home you purchased is likely to be positioned for better appreciation when the market rebounds. A 5% appreciation @ $100,000 would net you $5000, but a 5% appreciation @ $200,000 would net you $10,000.

The bottom line is not to pit yourself against the market, work with the market to get the most out of your house sale.
