SHOWING YOUR HOME

Once your home is ready to show, as your agent, we will begin marketing it to potential buyers and other sales associates. If possible, leave the home when buyers are present so they feel comfortable asking their agent candid questions.

Other Helpful Tips include:

Remove pets. Take them with you or keep them penned in the yard or garage. Open shades and curtains to let in light

Turn on enough lights so the home is well-lit

Remove clutter from tables and bookshelves. Neatness makes rooms seem larger

Put away items in the yard such as garden tools, bicycles and toys

Keep radios and TVs off, or on low volume

Keep money and other valuables, as well as prescription drugs, locked up.

PURCHASE AND SALE

Purchase and Sale Agreement

Once we have found a buyer for your home, we will work with you through the purchase and sale agreement. This is the contract in which you and the buyer outline the details of your property transfer. The purchase and sale agreement usually consists of the following:

Earnest money receipts

Financing addendum

Inspection addendum

Conditions/disclosure addendum

Contingency addendum, when appropriate

Addendum outlining special conditions

Lead-based paint notification, when appropriate

Agency disclosure form

Property disclosure form

HOME INSPECTIONS

The Second Negotiation

Once a buyer has decided to make an offer on your home, it will usually be contingent upon a professional inspection of the entire propertyincluding improvements. The home inspector looks beyond the cosmetics to make sure that the home’s general systems operate properly. The inspector will also look for large repairs that are needed and report on the condition of the home.

The standard home inspector's report will review the conditions of the home’s heating and cooling systems; interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; foundation, basement and visible structure. The inspector will also look for cracks in cement walls, water stains that indicate leakage, and any indication of wood rot.

A home inspection also points out the positive aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good shape.

Remember, no home is perfect. If major problems are found, we will help you negotiate through the process. Often, buyers will attempt to request repairs and/or credits as a result of the inspection.

SETTLEMENT AND CLOSING

During the negotiation stage of the transaction, a mutually agreed-upon date for closing is determined. “Closing” is when you and the seller sign all the paperwork and pay your share of the settlement fees, and the documents are recorded. Prior to closing, the agent will complete a detailed settlement statement for both buyer and seller. As your agent, we can help you understand which of the following typical statement fees apply to you.

The Seller Receives:

Utility deposits held by gas, electric, cable, telephone, and other companies

Prorated portion of pre-paid property taxes

Prorated mortgage interest from payments made during the current month

Homeowners association dues.

Net proceeds after the seller’s share of expenses is paid

The Seller Pays:

Documentary stamp taxes and surtax on deed, if any

HOA/Condominium Association estoppel fees

Owner's Policy and Charges

Recording and other fees needed to cure title

Title search charges

Seller's attorneys' fees

Municipal lien search

Charges for FIRPTA withholding and reporting

Brokerage commission (the sum or percentage of the sale price previously agreed upon by the seller and real estate agent)

If prior to Closing, Seller is unable to meet the AS IS Maintenance Requirement as required, a sum equal to 125% of estimated costs to meet the AS IS Maintenance Requirement shall be escrowed at Closing. If actual costs to meet the AS IS Maintenance Requirement exceed the escrowed amount, the Seller shall pay such actual costs. Any unused portion of escrowed amount(s) shall be returned to Seller.

CONTRACT AND NEGOTIATION

Emotion & Insulation: As we see it, one of our most important roles in selling your property is to insulate you from the buyer and help you keep your emotions in check. Both of these points can be a seller’s greatest enemy when it comes to negotiating. We keep you at a comfortable distance from the buyer allowing you to make well-thought-out and rational decisions to increase your benefits in the sale.

Contract Review: We will review with you all Purchase Contracts and all the intricate details so that you understand all your legal rights and obligations laid out in our standard sale agreement.

The Negotiation Process: We will explain your options in the negotiating process and assist you in making a plan to achieve your sales goal; whether it be the highest price, the quickest sale, the easiest transition, or whatever is most important to you - just let us know.

Multiple Offers: In the event of multiple offers, we will guide you on your choices and advise you on how to take the greatest advantage of an active market.

The Paperwork: We will prepare and fill out any and all counter offers on the industry accepted forms in response to any Purchase Contract on your behalf.

Professional Guidance: We will advise you on negotiating strategies that may work, as well as the possible pitfalls to each strategy. Together we can make a decision on the best path to take for your negotiations

Facilitating The Sale: We will coordinate with our fellow agent and/or buyer to facilitate the quickest response to complete the negotiations as promptly as possible.

CLOSING THE DEAL

More Paperwork: We will see to it that after we have come to terms with the buyer, all documents are fully executed and copies are provided to all parties requesting them.

Opening Escrow: We will take care of setting up and opening the Escrow account and coordinating transfer of all documents to the appropriate title officer.

Scheduling Details: We will coordinate and schedule all inspections on your property and be available to meet them at a mutually agreed time so you do not have to worry about scheduling these inspections or being present. This would include, but not be limited to, home inspectors, appraisers, buyer's final walk-through, termite inspectors, as well as any other parties that may need to be escorted through your property.

Sellers Obligations: We will see to it that all your obligations in the contract are met by having all documents, surveys, and disclosures completed and delivered to the buyer in a timely fashion.

Buyer's Obligations: We will keep the buyer in check to make sure they are performing according to the timeframes in the contract regarding the review of documents as well as the inspection periods.

Financing Obligations: In the event, the buyer is financing the purchase of your property, we will verify the buyer’s ability and progress throughout the transaction to facilitate a smooth sale.

Problems: We always strive for a problem-free transaction by thinking and operating in a proactive way; however, sometimes issues can still happen. We pride ourselves in knowing that no matter the issue, we always mitigate them effectively. We will advise you on your options in the event of unforeseen issues during the transaction and guide you in making the best decision for the situation to achieve a successful outcome for you.

Keys to the Property: We will take care of transferring all keys and gate/door openers as directed. Transfer of Possession: We will coordinate with you, escrow, the selling agent, and the buyers to ensure a smooth finish and transition from the seller to the new buyer, as well as assisting in coordinating any moving details.

The Next Step: If you are taking the proceeds from this sale and moving towards purchasing a new property, we can help you coordinate timing as well as assist you in finding the perfect new home.

Investment Property: In the event, this is an investment property, you may want to consider doing a 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange. We have a good working knowledge of this tax benefit and can answer most of your questions or put you in touch with an expert in the field.

Communication: We will keep you abreast of all developments in the transaction in a timely matter whether they are positive or negative.

Moving off Island: Need a Realtor in another community? We can help! I have a great network of exceptional agents across the US and Canada whom we would be happy to refer you to. Just let us know where you plan to make your next purchase, and we will put you in touch with a top agent in that area.

"We have known Anna Eckstein for over 4 years after she helped us purchase another property and from that experience we feel that hands down she is the best agent in Naples. Her likeability, professionalism and negotiations skills distinguishes her on a level reserved for elite luxury agents.

When the time came to sell our property in Naples we knew that Anna was our gal to get us the outcome we wanted and she over delivered for us as we knew she would. Her marketing of the property was perfect. She personally did all the showings impeccably and at the end negotiated the best terms, over and above what we had imagined.

We sincerely appreciate Anna and most highly recommend her to anyone who wants to have the best experience selling or buying in Naples."
