LISTING PROCESS
1. Pre-Listing
First, we will want to get your home ready to hit the market! Our team will go through your home to make sure your home is looking it’s absolute best. We can bring in our preferred staging company if needed. We can also make smaller changes like move furniture around, de-clutter, or add plants or color to your home.
Once your home is looking it’s best, we are ready for our photography and videography team to work their magic! Pictures are absolutely crucial in today’s internet age because the majority of buyers will see your home first online. We use professional twilight photography, aerial photography, 3D walkthrough technology, as well as professional video.
2. Listing
Many agents put your home live on the MLS and just sit back and wait for an offer. We know that our years of success selling homes for record amounts is because of our marketing! We will have marketing material in your home and will start our extensive online marketing campaign the first day of the listing. We will create a buzz around the neighborhood, with prospective buyers, and with other top brokers around the area and nationwide.
3. The Offer & Negotiating Terms
Once an offer comes in on your home, we will go over the offer with you, go over your options, and come up with the best possible strategy to negotiate a deal on your behalf. Statistics prove our team sells homes for more and it’s because of our negotiation skills, our market knowledge, and our years of experience.
4. Contract to Close
After the contract has been fully executed, there are a number of steps to ensure your home closes on time and the transaction runs smoothly. You will receive a “Seller Closing Checklist” that goes over every step from contract to close so you know exactly what is going to take place. Our team will guide you to make this real estate experience is stress free and the best possible experience.
