Selling your home is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. How much is it REALLY worth? How long will it take to sell? How do you handle buyers making undesirable offers or ridiculous requests - or demands?
As a top Spokane, Mead/Colbert, South Hill, and Spokane Valley/Liberty Lake area Realtor with 21 years of experience and a proven track record, it is my job and my pleasure to guide you through this complicated process, from beginning to end. I want you to get the maximum value for your home, within YOUR time frame, and with the least amount of hassle. Here are just some of the things that I will do to market and sell your home:
- Buyers want to buy your home for as little as possible! Through detailed comparisons between your home and recently sold homes, and other properties currently on the market in your area, together we can determine what your home is really worth in today's market. In the industry this is called a Comparative Market Analysis, or CMA. I will do this for you, for free.
- The Inspection process is a potential mine field, and it is much better for US to control this process than the buyer! Even after the price and terms are agreed upon, they are often re-negotiated after the home inspection. With a Pre-Listing Inspection, we can identify any possible deal breakers in advance and get them taken care of properly and economically while we have the time - not at the last minute when the chances of taking care of any repairs will likely cost you more. Plus, having these things (if any) taken care of in advance takes away any future negotiating leverage the buyers think they have. Most buyers factor in any anticipated repairs when making their offer, so having things done ahead of time increases our odds of getting a full price offer.
- Buyers have their own timelines, which might not be yours! I also make sure they don't waste your time by qualifying them as to their real ability to afford your home.
- More buyers interested in your home means more money in your pocket when it is sold. My extensive marketing of your home assures you of maximum value. For example, this web site will market your property all across the web. It will appear on Yahoo Real Estate, Microsoft MSN HomeAdvisor, JohnLScott.com, HomeGain.com, Homes.com, Realtor.com, Trulia.com, my other site at SpokaneHomesearch.net, and many other top national sites. I can place your home on this web site within a few minutes time!
- When we begin marketing your home, I will immediately notify all the buyers that I am helping find their ideal home. I'll also notify all the Realtors in this area that I work with, who quickly tell their homebuyers. It is a powerful way to jump-start the sale of your home! Before the sign ever goes up, I will give you staging ideas and inexpensive repair and upgrade suggestions. I make sure that ALL marketing materials are completed BEFORE we hit the market. We want to EXPLODE onto the market, not limp... I am not a Realtor who carries signs in his trunk and piddles like an excited puppy when someone hires me! If we are going to work together, we are going to do it right - even if it means delaying listing your property for a week or two.
- You and a member of my team or I will walk through your home together. I will advise you how to present your property to maximize its selling price. Some cosmetic improvements are worth it, and some are not! Be careful.
- Contracts are complicated, and intimidating. You don't want to go to a closing with some doubts. You will have the full benefit of my real estate experience and knowledge for a smooth and successful closing. I recommend that you do not sign on any dotted lines without asking me first. Plus, I attend all of my closings and review the HUD1 Settlement Statement in advance (when possible), further eliminating any chances of last minute problems.
You pay no up front costs for my services! So you can bet that I will work hard to get your home sold, for as much as this market will possibly bear. I will also work within your time frame and your needs. For example, sometimes it can be hard to sell and move out of your current home, and buy and move into a new home, all at the same time! I can help smooth this out.
Call or email me. Ask for a free In-Home Presentation. I will come to your home or office, and present you a plan that details exactly how I will market your home. There is absolutely no obligation so don't let this opportunity pass. It is part of my job as a top real estate agent to offer you this service.
Fill out this form. Tell me a bit about your house, and your particular needs, and I'll get back to you quickly...
