Seller’s Guide

Most sellers use a real estate agent. You certainly don’t have to, but an experienced and trusted agent provides you with guidance on pricing, negotiating expertise, marketing your property (on more than MLS), managing showings and paperwork. Most sellers use a real estate agent. You certainly don’t have to, but there are good reasons why most people still do:

1. Pricing is a real art.
The biggest factor in determining how quickly your home sells is the price, and deciding that price is trickier than it seems. It takes experience and even 1% more for your home can mean thousands to your bottom line.

2. Negotiating is hard.
Not just hard to do, but it can feel uncomfortable. If you want someone to negotiate fearlessly on your behalf, you need an agent.

3. Marketing is more than MLS.
To get the most for your home, you need as many buyers interested as possible. According to REALTOR.com, 82% of real estate sales are the result of agent contacts.

4. Showings and paperwork are a pain.
There’s more to the legal side of a home sale than you might think, and showing your own home is not only awkward, it can really complicate your schedule.

I can take away the burden of all these things, and work to get your home sold for the best price in the fastest time. After all—you’ve got a life to live.

How much of that price is yours to keep? I have included a worksheet

Setting the price for your home is challenging. Too low, and you leave money on the table. Too high, and you scare away buyers to other properties. To complicate all this, your home is an emotional asset—it’s hard to see it objectively. To find the optimal price—one that maximizes the sale price and minimizes the time it takes to sell—requires strategic thinking. Pricing is something agents spend their careers refining and mastering. By combining intimate market knowledge, an exhaustive study of similar homes for sale, and an analysis of past sales, As an experienced Realtor ®  I will help you decide on a price that fits you and your unique needs.

After price, the condition of your home is the single biggest factor determining how fast—and for how much—your home sells. We repeatedly find that people can’t visualize the potential of a home... They have to see it. They can’t see past the chips, leaks, clutter and stains—in fact, they tend to focus even more on those things.  We will guide you through the process to stage your home so it appeals to the broadest audience, and provide professional photography to make your best first impression.  Think of it this way: everything you remove from the house, clean or repair puts money in your pocket. 

You’re getting paid to do it!

The deal is accepted with an agreed upon purchase price... but how much of that do you get to keep? There are a number of closing costs to consider; legal fees, mortgage fees, disbursements, adjustments and moving costs. As your REALTOR ®,  I can help you through this process and explain the next steps.

The deal is done and conditions are waived!
