Home Seller
Sellers in the DC Metro area have enough to worry about in readying their home for market and planning their move to a new home. I will take over a huge number of tasks and details to make sure that your property is properly evaluated, priced, marketed, negotiated and carried to closing. I am here to advise, assist, and assure success and will provide:
CMA (Comparative Market Analysis)
I help my clients value their property through a thorough CMA, Comparative Market Analysis, using current listing price data and past sold comparable property sales.
It is important to search the Multiple Listing Service on our site to learn about currently listed similar homes in your area. Only by knowing the competition can you make improvements and set a competitive listing price.
A Marketing Plan that Works
I have perfected a marketing plan for various property types in the area. Some things work better than other in certain areas and price ranges. I will present you with a specific plan for your property.
Thorough and Objective Home Evaluation
I consider it my obligation to help you thoroughly and objectively evaluate your home's condition and features to properly assess how it competes in the current market.
Proper List Pricing
A property that is not priced well will either leave money on the table for our sellers or cause the property to linger on the market. I complete thorough analyses to help my sellers value their properties with realistic market expectations.
Market updates
Markets do not just change monthly. In fact, they change daily in many instances. As new listings come on the market and others sell, the supply/demand ratio changes and your price may need to be adjusted. I can provide you with regular market updates to keep you in the loop.
Price Negotiations
Our extensive experience with the marketing and property valuation process will attract buyers quickly. I am with you every step of the way in the contract price negotiations and will work to get you the top price possible with the fewest concessions.
Inspections & Repair Negotiations
The negotiations rarely end with the sales price. Once the buyer completes their inspection and document examination processes, they often object to things discovered and request corrective action that involves expense to the seller. I am here to work with you every step of the way and help you to keep the deal alive without "giving up the farm."
Contract to Closing Process
There are more than 50 tasks, objectives and deliveries involved in taking a seller side transaction from contract through a successful closing. Our job is to handle these hastles to ensure a smooth road to the closing table.
