I will guide you through the process with my years of expertise and local market knowledge.
HERE IS MY PROMISE TO YOU
I will do the very best job I can in maximizing the value of your home on the real estate market. I do that using my years of knowledge in the real estate and related fields and can advise you on what is worth doing and what is not worth doing to your home as you prepare it for market. I want to hear about your hopes and dreams and listen to your lifestyle objectives you are looking for as a result of your next move. What you liked and didn’t like about the house you are selling….Selling your home is complicated, time-consuming and can be a stressful process. It takes strategizing, careful planning and positioning on the market to capitalize on the market conditions. My job is to make this time go as smoothly as possible for you.
I believe in and promote homeownership for all regardless of who is selling and always use the same level of care and tenacity with every client as if I were my own home. Where you live, your neighbors and community have a significant impact on your quality of life, and I will make every effort to move you where you want to go.
As a full-service broker, I have the knowledge and depth of understanding to see the sale through to the end, assisting you as along the entire way. I am committed to getting your home sold in the least amount of time and to accomplish for you the best price the market will bring. I look forward to being YOUR listing broker.
HELPING YOU PREPARE YOUR HOME FOR SALE
My strengths are my ability to assess what we can do to your home to best position it for maximum return on your investment.
This often appears to be an insurmountable project for many. Knowing the ins and outs of real estate and construction helps me to direct your efforts towards the most cost-effective solutions that will create the most return on investment. I will help you identify the tasks that need to be prioritized and also direct you to my source of professional, reliable subcontractors and suppliers to complete those tasks with the utmost quality and service.
STAGING YOUR HOME
First impressions matter and I have professional stagers and people to help get your home looking its best. Not only does proper staging increases your final sales price, but it also reduces the overall market time. I often recommend hiring a professional stager who may suggest renting a few pieces to really showcase the look of your home or a few key rooms. Staging should NOT be overlooked.
INTERNET ADVERTISING AND GLOBAL PRESENCE
Coldwell Banker is considered to be the web pioneer in the real estate industry with the most visible internet presence for a real estate company worldwide. Its global reach with offices in 49 countries and territories make it’s a name-brand real estate company with an outstanding reputation.
Your listing will appear on the following websites: ColdwellBanker.com, CBDanforth.com, and the Multiple Listing Service which then sends your listing to multiple real estate brokerages. Direct feeds from Coldwellbanker.com go to some of the most visited real estate sites on the web including Google, Trulia.com, Open house, Yahoo Real Estate, Homes.com, Frontdoor.com, and countless others.
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHS
I hire a professional photographer to come out, at my expense, to shoot clean, crisp pictures of the home. These pictures are able to capture and accentuate the essential elements and lighting of your home to attract buyers.
PROPERTY MARKETING
Since our world is changing so quickly thanks to technology, I have created a marketing plan synthesizing traditional and technology-based methods. This coupled with internet marketing reaches a much broader audience than we have ever had access to even just a handful of years ago.
NEGOTIATING THE SALE
Once an offer is brought to the table, I will advise you on how to proceed. Once mutually accepted, I will see that offer and advocate on your behalf carefully through each stage of the transaction until we are successfully closed and recorded.
WRAPPING IT ALL UP
Having an experienced real estate agent in your corner who has extensive local knowledge of the market and what it takes to sell a home here is crucial. I look forward to getting the opportunity to know you and guide you through your real estate journey!
