Your Plan

1. Find the right representative

Marketing real estate requires skill, knowledge, and hard work to obtain top dollar. By utilizing our experience and marketing resources, you will be assured of receiving the best possible price for your property.

As full time professionals, we study the market daily, keeping abreast of every variable that may influence the marketability of your property. Once an offer is made to purchase your property, we will work to negotiate the terms of the contract, establish the buyer's qualifications, and monitor all details until the sale is closed.

When you entrust us with the responsibility of marketing your property, you can be assured the job will be done right. In fact it's guaranteed!

If there is anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact us... that's what we're here for. 


2. Determine your needs/wants for the sale and for your new home

Selling your primary residence can be tricky because you have to simultaneously be thinking about where you would like to buy. First weigh your priorities – selling price is certainly important, but having a quick and efficient sale can often be worth accepting a slightly lower offer. Talk to your agent and make sure you’re comfortable with where your priorities are.

At the same time, you should be compiling a needs/wants list for the home you will buy. You will probably have to act fairly quickly when your house sells, so any amount of preparation you can do will serve you well.

3. Prepare your house for showing

Under prepared homes can be sales disasters. Your home will never get as much attention from potential buyers as when it is first listed, so clearing clutter, cleaning, making repairs, and putting your homes best foot forward is essential. Don’t “open for business” until your home is ready to be seen as favorably as possible.

4. Find out what your local market looks like

Being realistic about your market is the key to a smooth sale. There is no substitute for a professional real estate representative when it comes to local market knowledge.

5. List away!
