Why Sell with Me?

There’s no doubt about it. Your real estate agent has a huge impact on whether or not your home sells quickly, how much you get for your property, and your experience throughout the process.

Choosing the correct real estate agent to sell your home is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. It can be the difference between your home sitting on the market for months or selling quickly, for thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars more. Your home is a very personal, important, and valuable asset, and it can be an emotional and complicated endeavor to sell it, especially in today’s challenging marketplace.

Numerous questions and concerns will need to be addressed, and the advice and consultation that you receive can make a tremendous difference in the results. Marketing and advertising, remodeling and/or upgrading, photography, internet exposure, staging, design, floor-plan measurements, videography, timing and presentation, inspections, pre-market exposure, agent outreach, and relationships, open houses, pricing, and dozens of more nuances and subtleties all make up the difference between failure and a successful sale.

So you’d be smart to ask, “Why should I sell with you?”

The best way for me to answer that is in a Personal Consultation meeting. I will meet you at your home, explain how I work with clients, and give you an initial idea of what to expect in terms of selling price and timing. This meeting will give us an opportunity to get to know each other; for me to explain my skills and experience; and for you to ask questions and see if there is a good fit. There is absolutely no obligation to proceed.

In the meantime, here are a few highlights of what to expect from me as your real estate agent:

• I listen carefully to your needs and goals, and keep those top-of-mind throughout the process.
• I’m accessible. I’m never more than a phone call or email away when you have questions or concerns.
• I provide you with practical suggestions on how to prepare your home so that it impresses and excites buyers.
• I recommend a listing price that’s the highest possible, without discouraging buyers.
• I prepare a game plan to promote your property to qualified buyers to ensure it sells.
• I prepare the promotional materials, including pictures and property description.
• I create an excitement in the marketplace about your listing. I tell my other private clients about it. I spread the word to other agents.
• I work with you to schedule showings and open houses, with as little inconvenience to you as possible.
• When someone makes an offer on your property, I skillfully negotiate so that you get the best price and terms.
• I take care of the dozens and dozens of details involved in selling a home, so you don’t have to worry about them.
• I will also guide you through the complicated paperwork involved, from the initial agreement to the final documents.
• I help to ensure everything goes smoothly between signing the offer and closing the sale.

You want your house to sell quickly and for the highest price possible. You also want the process to be trouble-free. That’s what I do for clients every day!

What To Look For In An Agent

The following are a couple of factors to keep in mind when looking for a listing agent:
1. Education. The most important factor in choosing a real estate professional is their education in the real estate industry. Our professionals have advanced training and education, allowing them to be among the top agents in the world and earning prestigious designations in the various fields of real estate.
2. Experience and Expertise. You want a full-time agent who is familiar with your area and with the type of property you intend to sell. Does he or she employ a diverse range of marketing and
advertising strategies? How tech-savvy is your agent? How many similar properties has he or she been able to sell in the past?
3. Availability and Commitment. Your agent should be capable of prompt and decisive action during the course of selling your property. Does your agent make it a point to keep in touch with you constantly? Can your agent easily be contacted in case of emergencies or even for the simplest questions? Is your agent available on the weekends or in the evenings when most buyers are out looking?
4. Rapport. Does your agent take the time to listen to your goals and clarify your needs? Can your agent understand your unique situation and be genuinely concerned about the outcome of the process? Your listing agent will be your guide and partner in this crucial decision, so it is important to find one with whom you can get along.

What Is Your Property Worth?

Without a professional agent, most independent property sellers tend to overestimate the value of their property. You can avoid this pitfall by consulting with an experienced real estate listing agent.
