The Action Plan.
When you consult me about selling your home, I'll prepare - at no obligation to you - an Action Plan - a detailed, itemized list of marketing strategies that I will use to sell your home. These strategies include:
| :: |
featuring your home on the Worldwide Web; |
| |
| :: |
placing ads for your home in newspapers; |
| |
| :: |
featuring your home in various real estate magazines, such as Real Estate Book, Home Search of the Roanoke Valley, and HOMESplus; |
| |
| :: |
listing your home using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS); |
| |
| :: |
networking with potential buyers through personal contacts; and, |
| |
| :: |
developing other strategies specifically tailored to your needs, as determined by a Comparative Market Analysis. |
The Comparative Market Analysis.
A Comparative Market Analysis contains information on the houses in your neighborhood that are currently on the market, have sold, and have contracts pending or expired. It is an invaluable tool when it comes to:
| :: |
determining your home's current market value, |
| |
| :: |
planning for improvements that may dramatically increase your home's market value, and |
| |
| :: |
developing your marketing Action Plan. |
Remember: I'll prepare both the Comparative Market Analysis and the Action Plan with no obligation to you.
Not Ready to Sell Your Home?
Even if you aren't ready to sell your home yet, you can do things on a regular basis that will make it easier to sell when you're ready. I can give you advice about the sorts of improvements and maintenance attention that will give you the best return on your investment in the years to come.
|
The Selling Process.
When you list your home with me, I'll help you through every step of the selling process.
| :: |
Determining the asking price of your property.
I'll prepare a Comparative Market Analysis containing information about the listing and selling of other homes in your neighborhood to help determine the market value of your home. |
| |
| :: |
Preparing your home for sale.
There are relatively inexpensive improvements you can make to your home that will greatly enhance its appeal to potential buyers and increase the return on investment for you home. There are other expensive improvements that will do neither. I'll help you determine which improvements will provide the best results for you. |
| |
| :: |
Marketing your home.
I'll develop and use an Action Plan containing a variety of marketing strategies to present your home to the largest number of potential qualified buyers. |
| |
| :: |
Showing your home.
I'll pre-screen interested, qualified buyers and schedule showings of your home at times that are convenient to you and your family. |
| |
| :: |
Initial negotiations.
Once a qualified potential buyer makes a proposal, I'll evaluate that proposal based on your marketing position. In addition to negotiating price, this step includes the arrangement of appraisals, inspections, and financing. I can take care of these details, making the selling process much easier and more trouble-free for you. |
| |
| :: |
Monitoring the process.
Even after the sales agreement has been made, questions or problems - from unanticipated repairs to financing to survey or title issues - may come up. I'll help you resolve these issues. |
| |
| :: |
Closing.
This is the settlement that finalizes the sale of your home. I can make the arrangements for this transaction and, with that, the selling process is complete. |
|
The Seller's Toolbox.
When we discuss the sale of your home, I'll provide you with:
| :: |
a Comparative Market Analysis of your home, helping you to understand the basis for establishing your home's asking price; |
