Home selling, made simple

The premiere selling experience

We understand that selling a home can be an emotional journey, so we'll be by your side every step of the way. We find joy in helping our clients move their lives forward by being obsessively dedicated to our profession and sweating even the smallest of details. Our marketing plan is custom created for each seller with one objective, expose your home to the most motivated, qualified buyers around the world.

In any market, it is important to have the right representation. Homes are selling fast, but many sellers are not aware that they are not getting the full value from their home sale. This is where deep experience and market knowledge are key.

THE SCIENCE OF SELLING

With such a valuable asset, the journey to “SOLD” can be emotionally and mentally taxing. We will lead and guide you through the numerous strategic initiatives that must be addressed to pave the way to a successful sale - from digital marketing strategy, remodeling/upgrading, pricing, pre-market exposure, agent outreach, open houses, too many more.  

Work with agents that have the tools and expertise to help you successfully navigate through selling one of the biggest sales of your life.

01. PREP WORK

First impressions are key when selling, so it’s important to put in the time to make sure your home is in top condition. Fresh paint, clean closets, flowers; there’s a lot you can do to make even the humblest of homes look like a million bucks.

02. PRICING

Pricing a home is hands-down the most important aspect in getting the highest return in the least amount of time. Many considerations go into setting the price, including the condition and location of your home, recent nearby sales, and similar homes that are currently for sale. These will all factor into the Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) that I will provide to determine the optimal sales price for your home.

03. MARKETING

We will put a plan together to market your home to the most likely potential buyers using a variety of tools, such as digital marketing, advertising, direct mail, and open houses.

04. SHOWINGS

While they can be inconvenient, home showings are a necessary part of selling. When your home is on the market it has the potential to be shown at any time, so it's important to maintain a certain level of cleanliness. During home showings, we recommend stepping out to give potential buyers privacy while viewing your home.

05. OFFERS

When a buyer is interested in purchasing your home, their real estate agent will draw up an offer, which we will present to you. In addition to any legal requirements, the offer specifies things such as the price, earnest money, closing terms, contingencies, and other conditions of the purchase.

06. NEGOTIATION

One of my most important responsibilities is to be an advocate for my clients. This includes negotiating on their behalf on things such as the price, repair costs, timelines, and contingencies to get the best terms possible.

07. PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

This is the legal contract between the buyer and seller once the buyer’s offer has been accepted by the seller. It outlines the terms and conditions of the sale and is signed by both parties.

08. INSPECTION

Once the Purchase and Sale Agreement is signed, a home inspector is hired to examine the home’s health, safety, and major mechanical systems. If any issues arise from an inspection, the buyer may be able to renegotiate their offer or ask for remedies.

09. ESCROW

Escrow is a legal arrangement in which a third party temporarily holds money or property until a particular condition has been met (such as the fulfillment of a purchase agreement). It’s used in real estate transactions to protect both the buyer and the seller throughout the home buying process.

10. CLOSING

At closing, all the paperwork is signed by the buyer and seller, both parties pay any settlement fees, and the documents are officially recorded. Prior to closing, you'll receive a settlement statement outlining any fees which may apply to you.
