A free consultation to help you decide if you are ready to sell

If you are ready to sell, we can discuss next steps; if you are unsure, we will assist you in weighing options. We provide you with sound advice as well as a complete marketing strategy.

Detailed strategy for improving your home if you choose to make changes

Not sure if it makes sense to make any changes or improvements pre-market? We conduct a room-by-room assessment, recommending how your property will show best, both in person and online. Selling as-is? That works too. Whether or not you choose to do work, we can recommend trusted vendors and if you like, help coordinate your to-do list. Hauling, donation, cleaning…we’ve got help for you.

A property-specific marketing strategy and a personal marketing timetable

We tailor our proven marketing program to the needs of your property.  This includes professional photos, floorplans, and property brochures. Your home will have a strong internet presence.

Unrivaled command of the sales contract and expert advice

We offer you negotiating strength. We are seasoned full-time agents who have a strong command of the sales contract.  We know how to best leverage your position in order to maximize your net and minimize your stress.

Outstanding support for any post-inspection repairs or vendor services needed

We help you evaluate and negotiate the home inspection and any other inspections that the buyer performs. If repairs are agreed to, we’ll work to reduce your out-of-pocket expense and your liability. We can recommend licensed contractors, coordinate repairs, and make sure you have the proper documentation required for settlement.

Clear communication and instructions for settlement

We coordinate completing contract paperwork, meeting contract deadlines, and preparing for settlement. We will review the Settlement Statement with you prior to settlement and attend settlement with you.

A never-ending resource

We are always a phone call or email away! And if we can’t help you by phone, we’re happy to make a house call. We consult if you are considering home improvements/renovations, renting your property, or refinancing. We provide market updates, recommend contractors, and of course start the consult process anew when you are ready to sell and/or buy again.

Congratulations!

Once you have sold your home, you’re free to take the next step on your journey. Whether this is relocating to a new city, moving into a larger home, or downsizing and enjoying your life as empty-nesters, knowing all your selling responsibilities have been taken care of will help you achieve peace of mind for your new path.
