PRICING YOUR HOME

KEY MARKET FACTORS | COMPETITIVE MARKET ANALYSIS The proper balance of these factors will expedite your sale.

PRICE Pricing your home correctly from the start is the deciding factor on how long it will take to sell it.

CONDITION The condition of the property affects the price and the speed of the sale. As prospective buyers often make purchases based on emotion, first impressions are so important. Our team will be able to help in optimizing the physical appearance of your home to maximize the buyer’s perception of value.

COMPETITION Prospective buyers are going to compare your property – both the condition and the price – to the other listings in and around your neighborhood. Those buyers will determine value based on properties that are listed or have recently sold in the area.

TIMING Property values are affected by the current real estate market. Because we can’t manipulate the market, we’ll collaborate on a pricing and marketing strategy that will take advantage of the first 30 days your property is listed. It’s the window of opportunity when buyers and their agents discover your property and are most likely to visit and make offers.

LOCATION Location is the single most crucial factor in determining the value of your property.

TERMS Terms structured to meet our objectives are essential to successful marketing.

MARKET FACTORS WITHIN YOUR CONTROL: • • • •

Price Property Condition Staging Availability for Showing

FACTORS YOU CAN’T CONTROL • • • •

Competition Buyer’s or Seller’s Market Interest Rates When the Perfect Buyer walks through the door

CLOSING 101 | FROM OFFER TO CLOSE The closing process finalizes the sale of your home and makes everything official. Also known as settlement, the closing is when you get paid, and the buyer receives the deed to your home.

INSPECTION and potential repairs are the number one reason sales don’t close.

Typically, buyers have a certain number of days in which to inspect the property and accept or reject the property based upon these mechanical and structural inspections.

A FEW THINGS TO BRING TO THE CLOSING: • • • •

A valid government-issued picture ID House keys Garage door opener(s) Mailbox and any other spare keys

WHAT TO EXPECT:

YOUR COSTS:

The escrow officer will look over the purchase contract and identify what payments are owed and by whom; prepare documents for the closing; conduct the closing; make sure taxes, title searches, real estate commissions, and other closing costs are paid; ensure that the buyer’s title is recorded; and ensure that you receive any monies due to you.
