15 Steps to SOLD!

Consultation

During our COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION we will tour your home and go over what needs to be done to prepare it to sell. I will share the comps in your area with a comparative market analysis(CMA), and discuss strategic pricing and my marketing strategy that will sell your home for top dollar quickly.

Marketing Strategies

Our MARKETING will go above & beyond putting a sign in the yard and placing it in the MLS. We take pride in our custom marketing strategies. Your home will be showcased on social media, email, video & print marketing. We want to meet every possible buyer wherever they might be looking.

Staging & Pre-Inspection

The goal of STAGING is having a trained eye come into your home and look at it as a buyer would. My ability to stage for the market will get your home show ready. We look at staging like we are creating a neutral palette, so that all buyers can envision themselves living there.

A PRE-INSPECTION will be done so that the buyers will have confidence to make an offer on the home.

Photography & Videography

Many times a buyer has already decided if they are interested in your home just from the pictures online, without ever stepping foot inside. Our PHOTOGRAPHY partners are the best at coming into your home and capturing it at its absolute best. Now, the pre-marketing can begin.

Coming Soon & Firm Exclusive

If applicable, we can list your home as “COMING SOON” in MLS. This will give buyers a sneak peek into your home before it is officially ready to show.

FIRM EXCLUSIVE is another option for the most discerning clients. Your home will be marketed within our firm to all of our brokers.

Active On Market

Now that we have completed all the steps to prepare your home for market, it’s time to go LIVE . Our marketing plan will also go live and your home will be presented to thousands across our market as well as the world with our Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® global network.

Showings / Open House

Keeping your home show ready is the key to being sold quickly. I will share tips with you to keep the guess work out of making sure you are ready for all SHOWINGS. Keeping a clean, shiny, and clutter-free home will ensure buyers only see the best things about your home.

15 Steps to SOLD!

Offers

I will be your guide in looking through all presented OFFERS. There are many things to consider and price is just one of them. I will help you decide which one best accommodates your needs and timeline.

Negotiating

One of the top reasons to hire a licensed broker is for the next step: NEGOTIATING. I am aware of market trends in our area and can help negotiate the best offer for your home based on the current market and your needs.

Inspections

Once the offer is accepted it is time for INSPECTIONS. These will take place within the first 2-10 days after an offer is accepted, or during the due diligence period. The buyer will pay an inspector to look through the entire property and list all things the home could need. Big and small things will be on the list. The report will be sent to the buyers for review with their agent. Buyers may or may not try to negotiate items for repair on the list. Once all parties have an agreement, we move on to the next step: APPRAISAL.

Appraisal

If the buyer is utilizing a loan, then an APPRAISAL will be ordered by the loan officer. These are often chosen at random from a pool of appraisers. The goal is to have the appraisal come in at or above the purchase price of the contract so the mortgage lender will approve the loan. It is important the home be in tip top shape at the time of the appraisal.

Title & Utilities

The TITLE company will make sure the home title is clean for the closing. This means they will look over all paperwork to be sure there are no liens on the property, no extra names on the title, and prepare for closing. They will work with the lender to ensure everything is ready for closing day.

You will want to schedule the transfer and/or shut off all UTILITIES for closing day or the day after. This should be set-up at least 2 weeks prior to closing.

Final Walk-Through

The buyers will do their FINAL WALK-THROUGH up to 4 days prior to closing. This is to make sure all negotiated items have been completed, that the home is clean, and all is as it should be.

Closing

Congratulations, you have made it to closing day! CLOSING is when the necessary paperwork to complete the transaction is signed. The papers are signed at the real estate attorney’s office and the title is transferred from the seller to the buyer. Once funded, the buyer receives the keys, and the seller receives payment for the home.

Marketing & Advertising

These may be held at any time on an “as needed” basis. Once an Open House is scheduled, it will be entered into MLS and will appear on the DM website, as well as all MLS feeds on other large search sites. DM features all Open Houses on social media accounts every Friday for the upcoming weekend.

Our marketing department will create custom marketing materials for your listing. Custom pieces are designed in house and will be mailed to specific lists that cater to our marketing plan/schedule.

Broker events may be held to introduce your home to other local agents in the Charlotte area and around your home. We have a database comprised of thousands of Charlotte agents that we can select from to invite to your home. Once scheduled, this event will go into our company calendar which is emailed out to our agents weekly.
