The Selling
Experience
This is a description of the
basic process you will go
through when you list your home with us. At the bottom of the
page is a link to a form that you can fill out to let us know a
little bit about your home. We can use the information you
provide to tell you what your home may be worth, and how we can
help you sell it fast.

How can I help Sell Your Home?

The Tour: First
we will come to your house to take a look at what you have to
sell. We will give ourselves a tour of the house as if we were
an average buyer and try to form an objective opinion about
quality, functionality, and price. Next we will let you give us
a tour so you can point out all the features that make the house
attractive to you.
The Meeting:
After we have seen the house we need to sit down and discuss
what you think your house is worth, how soon you need to sell,
and take the opportunity to get to know each other a little
better.
The CMA:
(Comparative Market Analysis) The next step is determining the price. We will search all of
the houses that have been listed and sold recently and find the
ones that are most like yours in size, age, style and location.
This will give us a pretty good range of what your house will
sell for. We still need more information. Next we will preview
all the homes that are currently listed on the market that your
home will be in competition with.
The Contract:
At this time we will meet again so we can explain the listing
agreement to you in detail. We will present the CMA to you along
with information on what the competition looks like. We will
also give you a range where we think we should set the price.
It is then up to you to set the price. It is very important to
price it right the first time because you generate the most
interest in your house when it just comes on the market.
The Marketing:
The marketing strategy for every home is never quite the same.
Here is a list of some of the items that we do provide for every
home we list depending on your preference (in addition to sign
post and flyer box). Professional advice on what can be done to
make the house "ready to sell". Posting of home and pictures on
numerous local and national websites and MLS. A custom page for
your home on our
personal websites. . Custom
flyer designed by Bob. Flyers sent to area realtors.
Marketing may vary depending on what is needed to market your
home in the current market.
The Offer:
Depending on the general interest in your home there may be
multiple offers right away or there may be only one. This is
usually dictated by how competitive the listing price is. At
this point we will set up a time for the buyer's agents to
present the offer to you. As your agent we will be present to
guide you. This can be done either in person or via a fax
machine. With multiple offers its usually best to do it in
person. After they present the offer we will discuss them in
private. We will advise you on all points of the offer but you
will make the final decision. Once decided, you will sign all
the contracts and addendums and we will have a binding contract.
The Inspection:
Most offers will include an inspection contingency. This gives
the buyer the right to have the house professionally inspected.
If the inspector finds anything wrong with the house they can
ask you to fix the problem or credit them cash at closing. You
can either fix the problem and keep the buyer in contract or do
nothing and give the buyer the option to terminate the contract
or buy the house in its present condition, provided there are no
lender required work orders.
The Appraisal:
After the inspection the buyer's lender will send an appraiser
to make sure that house appraises to the satisfaction of the
lender. There is rarely a problem here, but if the house comes
in under value then the buyer could elect to terminate or
renegotiate the contract under terms of the financing
contingency.
The Signing:
The escrow company will schedule a time for you to sign all the
documents a few days before your closing date. This insures that
all the documents are ready to record on the closing date.
The Closing:
Congratulations. All the hard work has paid off. All the
documents have been signed and the funds are available to you.
Your house is sold!
