Market Conditions/Updates

We track all real estate and financial markets every day that may have an impact on real estate. We stay informed, via multiple news and media sources, financial news and all key economic indicators to gauge the current market and determine in which direction the real estate market may be heading.

Process & Systems

Managing the transaction from listing to closing, advising you how to avoid any pitfalls to closing, setting expectations for how we specifically plan to market and promote your home. We have created a unique process and systems to ensure a seamless and stress-free closing.

Listing Process

What are all the to-do's and tasks you will need in preparation to list your home for sale? How does our process simplify a potentially complicated process? We can help you navigate all of those to-do's and tasks, to position and properly introduce your home to the market!

Showings

We will organize and balance all showings to fit within your family’s lifestyle, minimize the number of repeat visits and respect your privacy (e.g., broker open house, grand opening,, public open house, private showings).

Contracts

What type of legal instrument should you submit and what are the advantages and disadvantages? There is no one legal form you can submit, rather there are numerous forms based on local market customs.

Timeline

How long is the home-selling process and when should you consider selling your home, in earnest to close based on your timing? Should you sell now or should you wait? What are your options before making this important decision?

Marketing Plan

The marketing plan is perhaps the most misunderstood part of the listing process because every real estate company has their own idea of what constitutes a bona fide marketing plan. We can advise you, based on our experience, what is the most effective marketing strategy to get your home sold, for the most amount of money, in the least amount of time!

Offers

When offers start to flow in from buyer agents, what is the process for collecting, analyzing, comparing and explaining in detail all offers received, the best offer to accept and which should be considered back up offers? This is not an easy process, especially if your home receives multiple offers. We can help you collect, analyze, compare and explain every offer so you can be confident you have made the best possible decision, and have a back-up plan.

Pricing Strategies

What are your options when deciding to make the critical decision of exactly where to price your home on the market? There is certainly more than one pricing strategy. We can help you determine the best pricing, based on different pricing strategies.

Closing Process

Before your home closes, there are numerous steps that need to happen before you receive the net proceeds from sale. We can help you with all of the items and tasks necessary before we hand over the keys to your home, including the final walk-through, coordinating moving companies, addressing any requests for adjustments or credits to the sale price and consult with the attorneys to finalize the closing process.

Social Media

Is one component of the overall marketing plan. We take advantage of all the major social medial platforms to advertise, promote and introduce your home to the market. As much as we like social media, its true purpose is to provide greater exposure and is not a substitute for “boots on the ground”!

Negotiations

What exactly does it mean when a real estate professional states they are great negotiators? Our idea of negotiation is to communicate via phone or in-person with each listing agent. Submitting an offer via email and waiting for a response is not negotiation. Neither is accepting as good faith, highest and best offers by a date certain, without a thorough understanding of the homeowner’s position and what will compel them to accept your offer.

Concierge services

Once you purchase your new home, the hard work begins…the big move! We can help you identify and coordinate moving companies, help organize your entire move so you can safekeep your most important valuables, schedule contractors, and make the entire moving process easier and stress-free for you and your family. We welcome the opportunity to help you get settled comfortably in your new home!
