Selling - make the most of it!
When you're selling your home you will be excited and exhausted as you prepare to take the next step in your life and try to make the most of it. You are uncertain about what will happen, and you may be afraid that you can't get what you need. With our experience working for you, we can help you get the best for your family and put a "SOLD" sign in front of your house on your terms. Once you do this you'll be able to the move worry-free and get the new lifestyle you're looking for.
When you get us helping you, we don't pass on the work to less experienced associates. We bring our expertise directly to the deal so you can benefit from a marketing plan that gets you more qualified buyers and advice that gets you a better result. We'll guide you through the process step by step so you understand what you need to do.
1. The first step is deciding on when to sell. You may need to move for another city for your job and have a limited time, or you may just be looking for a better home. Depending on your needs certain times may work to your advantage; with our experience you can identify when you should make a move. You may also be considering renovations to increase the value of your home. We have seen what works and what isn't worth the cost, and we can advise you on how to make your home more presentable for a quick sale without wasting your time and money.
2. Next you need to set the right price. Everyone has certain needs when selling a house and these will play a part. The market plays a big role in this since you have to compete with other listings. You'll get lots of advice when you're trying to set a price for your house but you need to be careful. If you get the wrong advice and your house sits on the market for months this can reduce the buyer interest, delay your plans, and even cost you money. The best way for you to make a smooth sale is by looking at what's really happening in the market now, and combining that with the experience that comes from doing hundreds of sales. We guide you from the start with a Comparative Market Analysis that shows why your home should be listed at a certain price to help sell it, and how high you can realistically go.
3. After this you need a marketing plan. Based on your house and your specific needs you will receive a plan outlining how we will get you exposure. We'll start to do the marketing as you wait for buyers - for some people this is a time of uncertainty because you don't know who is looking at your listing and how much interest there is. If this goes on for weeks or months you might start to feel like you can't sell your house on your terms. You don't need to worry about this though, since we will give you with frequent updates on what's happening, and if you aren't getting the response needed we will help you make adjustments to bring more buyers. Once you start getting interest in your home you can rely on us as we are available 24 hours a day to set up appointments to show your home, even if you are away.
4. When you start to get offers you may be near the end of the process but not all offers are equal. We look over them carefully to see if the buyer is ready or if they will just use up your time with little chance of selling your home. Many offers can have downsides in their conditions, and it takes experience to compare different conditions and choose the best offer. During the negotiations you'll have our expertise and experience from hundreds of past sales on your side so you can work out a better deal.
5. Then comes the end of the process - once you accept an offer and the conditions are removed you can finally say that your house is sold and start preparing to move! Whether you're making more room for a growing family or downsizing to free up equity this is the most exciting part as you take the next step in your life. We have helped hundreds of clients get to this point and we want to help you too so you can enjoy it, knowing that you got the most from the sale.
