When you hire a real estate broker, you are actually hiring 2 people in one.
- First and most obvious, you are employing the services of someone to market your home.
In the new millennium, your Realtor needs to go beyond planting a sign in your front yard and running an occasional ad in the newspaper. I spend more than most companies to expose your home to potential homebuyers. My goal is to be certain that every serious homebuyer in the market knows your home is available. If a buyer is looking on his own, through another agent, in newspapers, or on the Internet, your home MUST stand out.
View a comprehensive list of the innovative ways Steve locates buyers for his listings.
- Secondly and more importantly, you are hiring a professional to guide you through the maze of legal paperwork, inspections, financing and inevitable hitches to complete the sale of your home after I have found your buyer.
Unfortunately, today's consumers are more inclined to litigate than ever before. Preparing a strong contract that clearly addresses the many details of the transaction is vital. Now, more than ever, you need a seasoned and knowledgeable expert to negotiate on your behalf. I will expertly monitor the buyer’s financing and oversee the many complex details on the way to closing.
With years of experience and many satisfied clients, I offer the best services available to home sellers. For a copy of My Information Package which details the services I offer, simply go to My Contact Form and request the package. Be sure to leave your name and address.
WHY PROPERTY SELLS
There are three reasons a property sells:
- Price
- Condition
- Realtor
Price and Condition
You control the price and the condition. The right price can only be determined by a well-researched market evaluation. As a home seller, you should get a written market analysis comparing your home to at least three similar properties that have recently sold and that are currently on the market. Your home's condition is vital to a sale. A clean, well maintained home enjoys a competitive edge over all the other homes on the market. Your home will sell faster and at a higher price if you “stage” your home to enhance its appeal. I will assist you with pricing and staging recommendations.
A FEW WORDS ON PRICING
Do not always list with the Real Estate Agent who gives you the highest price. Consumer Reports magazine stated . . .
| "Expect the agent to suggest a price range, but don't let that frame you in. Be aware that some agents will at first suggest a very handsome price. Then, after they have the listing and the house hasn't sold, they'll come back with a pitch to lower the price." |
If you bought IBM stock 5 years ago and wanted to sell it today, would you call your stockbroker and tell him that you insisted on selling at a 200% profit? Or would you ask him to advise you on the market price? The same principle works with Realtors and their market analysis.
I prepare a thorough, well-researched market analysis on every listing. As a result, I sell my listings at very close to asking price. An accurate market analysis will also virtually eliminate any appraisal problems for the buyers. This is just one piece of the professional service you receive when I sell your property.
A FEW WORDS ON CONDITION
We live in our homes in one way, we market them in another. Builders have long recognized that a finished, cleaned, and decorated model home enables them to enhance the appeal of the homes they are selling. This is known as “Staging”. Staging your home to enhance its appeal will give you a competitive edge against all the other homes on the market.
Did you know that $500 spent cleaning, painting and making minor repairs to your home may pay you back thousands in a higher sales price and result in a quicker sale?
I know which items are cost-effective and will pay you back many times over in buyer interest. After you agree to list your home with me, I will detail which simple, easy steps you can take to enhance your home's appeal.
I am responsible for marketing your home. You are in control of the marketability of your home. Be sure to see my free reports by filling out my Guest Book, "20 Steps to Sell Your Home Faster and For More Money."
REALTOR
When choosing a Realtor most home sellers expect their homes to be presented to the marketplace professionally. Look for an extensive marketing campaign and professional marketing materials when choosing a Realtor. Your Realtor should advise you on market conditions, negotiating, contracting strategies and closing activities. Your Realtor should have systems in place to handle just about any detail or situation. Just as you insist on an experienced doctor to treat your family, you want a Realtor with a proven track record to represent you in the sale of your home. I will take your property to the market with an extensive marketing campaign that works and I will use my experience to advise you on contract negotiations and closing requirements.
