how do we get my home ready to go on the market?

Step 1 : a personalized decluttering & staging consultation
Because we work with so many buyers, we know exactly the types of homes and designs buyers are drawn to.
Our staging is done with today’s buyer in mind. We want your house look like a home that buyers will fight for.

how much is my home worth? Pricing a home incorrectly leads to frustration and anxiety. To give you the representation you deserve, we follow proven pricing strategies. We will create interest, attract buyers, generate showings, and produce offers.
five factors affecting the value of your home one: comparables Appraisers will use nearby comparable properties to determine your current value. We study the same “comps” so we are prepared.
two: location We will observe what similar homes in your school district and community have sold for in recent months.
three: condition Improving the condition of your home maximizes the buyer’s perception of value.

four: competition Buyers will compare your property to other active and pending listings in your community. Our pricing strategy can either put buyers’ attention on your home, or push them to the ones that we are competing against.
five: timing Property values are affected by the current real estate market. Because we can’t control the market, we’ll take advantage of the first 30 days your property is listed. It is the window of opportunity when buyers and their agents discover your home and are most likely to visit and make offers.

what makes you different from other agents? communication We understand that there are so many steps involved in selling a home. Our goal is to over-communicate and over-deliver through each part of the process, so that you can focus on the things that matter most to you.
client-based Among the most successful agents in the area, there are generally two types: transaction-based and client-based. There are good agents in both categories, but I choose to run a client-based real estate business. I’m not focused on transactions, I’m focused on people. By doing just the right number of transactions that my office can handle, I can personally be side-by-side with you virtually every step of the way.

client testimonial “The process of finding a home for your family charts an unbelievable emotional journey. What my wife and I learned quickly is that market conditions should never dictate your perceived need when it comes to hiring an expert to handle the two biggest financial transactions of your life to date. Chip is the sole reason we found ourselves in a position to secure our dream property and sell our existing home. The buying and selling process is very stressful. A perfect deal is rife with questions around process, timing, deadlines, and requirements. Hiring Chip gave us both an advocate and an expert to handle all of those matters. When Chip would communicate with us, it was obvious that he spared us significant back and forth and was providing us concrete information to move the process forward. Chip prepares and is proactive, no matter the developments in our transactions, we were never surprised. I cannot overstate the value he brought to our experience. Expert advice and negotiation techniques, unparalleled marketing, and constant communication. If you want someone with a standard of excellence that will no doubt exceed your own, I’d recommend you hire Chip.”
