TO OUR SELLERS

If you are thinking of selling your home, chances are you're caught up in a mass of emotions. You may be looking forward to a brand new home, or facing the uncertainty of a major move. You may be reluctant to leave your memories behind, or eager to start anew. The goal of this page is to provide pertinent information so as to enable intelligent and informed decisions throughout the selling process. Remember, we are here to help you with any of your real estate needs. Call or email us today!

A typical real estate transaction is comprised of over 300 distinct activities and 15-20 participants. It is one that can involve over 100 separate forms and documents. Finding a suitable buyer and negotiating an offer is only the beginning.

Our commitment is not only to market your property so as to maximize return, but also act as your enthusiastic advocate, capable negotiator, source of wisdom and coordinate the entire selling process. We advise you of your rights and obligations under the contract and help you respond to offers and counteroffers.

Perhaps the most important stage in the listing of a property is an in-depth meeting with you so we can fully understand your wants and needs. This will help us prepare a detailed analysis of the value of your property and an estimated seller net sheet. We will also prepare a detailed marketing plan and explain the various options for showing, advertising, and other means of exposing the property to the market. This culminates in a listing agreement, which allows us to move forward with presenting your home to the marketplace.

Upon acceptance of an offer by both parties the next phase begins. This is the most complicated and stressful part of the process and our goal here is to move you to a successful closing as smoothly as possible. This is where the strength of our negotiating skills comes into play. We will promptly present all offers with our analysis of their strengths and weaknesses. We will advise you how to accept, reject or counter the offers and prepare all documents for your signature. We will also prepare a revised seller net sheet to show you the exact breakdown of your proceeds.

We coordinate all necessary inspections and reports and work closely with the cooperating broker, loan officers, title officers, inspectors and pest control companies to help insure all work is done properly, all time frames are met and any outstanding contingencies are removed. At closing, we review all closing documentation and instructions and accompany you to the title company for signatures and to answer any questions or offer remaining explanations.

The myriad details that make up the selling process are all vitally important. An oversight can expose you to a situation that may impact you years later. Our step-by-step system of checks and balances helps make certain things are done thoroughly, correctly and in a timely manner for your benefit and protection. Homeowners entrust the sale of a major financial asset to their real estate firm. We commit ourselves to only the highest standards of service to earn that trust.
