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.
HOME SELLERS: HERE’S WHAT THE NAR SETTLEMENT MEANS FOR YOU
As a home seller, you have a wide range of choices when it comes to listing your home. Agents who are REALTORS® are a trusted source of advice and stand ready to help you navigate this complex process and make the choices that work best for you. NAR’s recent settlement has led to several changes related to broker commissions that benefit sellers, and we wanted to clearly lay them out for you
Here is what the settlement means for home sellers:
• You still have the choice of offering compensation to buyer brokers. You may consider doing this as a way of marketing your home or making your listing more attractive to buyers.
• Your agent must conspicuously disclose to you and obtain your approval for any payment or offer of payment that a listing broker will make to another broker acting for buyers.
• This disclosure must be made to you in writing in advance of any payment or agreement to pay another broker acting for buyers, and must specify the amount or rate of such payment.
• If you choose to approve an offer of compensation, there are changes to how this can happen.
• You as the seller can still make an offer compensation, but your agent cannot include it on a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) MLSs are local marketplaces used by both buyer brokers and listing brokers to share information about properties for sale.
• Your agent can advertise your listing via off-MLS platforms such as social media, flyers and websites.
• You as the seller can still offer buyer concessions on an MLS (for example, concessions for buyer closing costs)
These settlement practice changes will go into effect August 17.
Here is what the settlement doesn’t change:
• Agents who are REALTORS® are here to help you navigate the process of selling your home and are ethically obligated to work in your best interest.
• Compensation for your agent remains fully negotiable, and if your agent is a REALTOR®, they must abide by the REALTOR® Code of Ethics and have clear and transparent discussions with you about compensation. When finding an agent to work with, ask questions about compensation and discuss what you would like to offer buyers.
• You have choices Work with your agent to understand the full range of these choices when selling your home, which will help you make the best possible decision for your needs.
