A: Your decision to sell your property is one that I take very seriously. It is my goal to sell your home in the shortest amount of time and at the highest price. In order to do that, I conduct an analysis of similar properties that have been placed on the market—especially those that have sold– within your neighborhood. Based on that analysis and the timeframe you establish for selling your property, I recommend a price range that will allow it to be sold in the shortest amount of time. With a keen understanding of the latest local listings and sales data, the information you need is at my fingertips.

A: Many potential buyers won’t consider your property because they assume it is out of their price range. They may not even see your listing if it’s out of their criteria range on auto email alerts. The first week is where the property gets the most visibility! We want to take advantage of that internet traffic. If overpriced, comparison shoppers will be encouraged to bid on another property. In essence, you are helping to market someone else’s properly priced home. If you are overpriced, other agents are less likely to show your property to buyers. Agents know the market! Properties left on the market for extended periods of time become shopworn or overlooked. Buyers assume that something is wrong with the property or it would have sold already.

A: Of course, you want to sell your property quickly, and that is my number-one goal! The length of time your property is on the market is directly related to the selling price. If a home is not selling, the marketplace is saying the property is not priced properly.

A: Anything that is not affixed to the property itself must stay; this means that you have the right to take appliances with you. However, this is not common. If it is affixed permanently to the property you must leave it there. This will be discussed in much further detail to you.

A: In most cases, it is beneficial to have inspection prior to marketing.

A: A home warranty placed on the property is completely negotiable on the offer that is written on your home. There are some cases where the seller can choose to purchase a home warranty prior to listing as a buyer incentive. This is particularly advantageous for homes with older appliances or mechanicals. It gives potential buyers peace of mind when purchasing your home.
