Selling Your Home

LET ME HELP YOU SELL YOUR HOME, BECAUSE AS YOUR REALTOR, I WILL…

• Send you my comprehensive online marketing strategy.
• Give you a free home market analysis to determine if the market is right for selling.
• Showcase your home on Realtor.com and many other websites.
• Guide you through the closing process and ensure that everything flows smoothly.
• Give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace, including: the price, financing, terms and conditions of competing properties.
• Market your property to other real estate agents and the public.
• Know when, where and how to advertise your property.
• Prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.
• Help you objectively evaluate every buyer's proposal without compromising your marketing position.

Between the initial sales agreement and closing (or settlement), questions may arise. For example, unexpected repairs are required to obtain financing or a problem in the title is discovered. The required paperwork alone is overwhelming for most sellers. As your REALTOR®, I want to be the best person to objectively help you resolve these issues and move the transaction to closing (or settlement).

HOW WILL I HELP YOU?

• I am one of less than 1% of all Realtors in the US who Feature your Home First on these same sites. I reserved one of 8 spots in the Featured Homes™ section which is listed at the top of the search results. This gives you the opportunity to be seen FIRST.
• I am a FULL-TIME realtor so I dedicate all of my time to selling homes.

WHY DO I DO THESE THINGS?

• Homes on REALTOR.COM dominate the Consumer Market, and homes with multiple photos & detailed descriptions are seen 299% more than those without those same features
• Home buyers use the Internet to search for a home more than any other media
• Home buyers say the two most important features are photos and detailed descriptions
• Buyers can contact me 24/7 via email, phone or fax so that I’m always available

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO YOU?

Because as your Realtor I know that everyday your home is on the market:

• It will lose negotiation power
• It will lose property value
• Other realtors believe the longer it is on the market the more negotiating power they have against your home

My job is to:

1. Find you the right buyer.
2. Sell your home at highest price possible.
3. Sell your home in shortest period of time.
4. Find you the perfect home to move into.

For most families, their home is their largest financial asset, and deciding to sell it is a big decision that involves a lot of preparation and work.
