Welcome sellers!

Selling your house can be very confusing and overwhelming at times. That’s where I come in and can help you out!

Here are some good reasons why I can help you out:

I am your buffer
I take the spam out of your property showings and visits. I will filter all those phone calls that lead to nowhere from the “just lookers” and try to induce serious buyers to immediately write an offer.

Neighborhood Knowledge
I possess intimate knowledge can find the industry buzz about your neighborhood. I can identify comparable sales and hand these facts to you, in addition to pointing you in the direction where you can find more data on schools, crime or demographics. For example, you may know that a home down the street was on the market for $350,000, but an agent will know it had upgrades and sold at $285,000 after 65 days on the market and after twice falling out of escrow.

Price Guidance
Contrary to what some people believe, agents do not select prices for sellers or buyers. However, I will help to guide you to make the right choices for youself. Then based on market supply, demand and the conditions, I will devise a negotiation strategy.

Market Conditions Information
I can disclose market conditions, which will govern your selling or buying process. Many factors determine how you will proceed. Data such as the average per square foot cost of similar homes, median and average sales prices, average days on market and ratios of list-to-sold prices, among other criteria, will have a huge bearing on what you ultimately decide to do.

Professional Networking
I network with other professionals, many of whom provide services that you will need to buy or sell. Due to legal liability, many agents will hesitate to recommend a certain individual or company over another, but they do know which vendors have a reputation for efficiency, competency and competitive pricing. I can, however, give you a list of references with whom they have worked and provide background information to help you make a wise selection.

Negotiation Skills & Confidentiality
I negotiate well because, unlike most buyers and sellers, I remove myself from the emotional aspects of the transaction. Good agents are not messengers, delivering buyer’s offers to sellers and vice versa. We are professionals who are trained to present their client’s case in the best light and agree to hold client information confidential from competing interests.

Handling Volumes of Paperwork
Today’s purchase agreements run 10 pages or more. That does not include the federal- and state-mandated disclosures nor disclosures dictated by local custom. Most real estate files average thicknesses from one to three inches of paper. One tiny mistake or omission could land you in court or cost you thousands. In some states, lawyers handle the disclosures, thank goodness!

Answer Questions After Closing
Even the smoothest transactions that close without complications can come back to haunt. For example, taxing authorities that collect property tax assessments, doc stamps or transfer tax can fall months behind and mix up invoices, but one call to your agent can straighten out the confusion. Many questions can pop up that were overlooked in the excitement of closing.
