THE Home Selling Process
WE HAVE MUTUAL OBJECTIVES….TO SELL YOUR HOME…
At The Highest Possible Price
The Average Sales Price to List Price Ratio Experienced On Our Listings Is Higher Than The Average Of The Multiple Listing Service. The Benefit To You Is More Money After All Of The Expenses Have Been Deducted.
In The Shortest Period Of Time
The Average Time On The Market Experienced On My Listings Is Less Than The Average Of The Multiple Listing Service. The Benefit Is That Your Home Will Sell In A Shorter Period Of Time So That You Will Receive Your Equity Sooner.
With The Most Favorable Terms
Negotiating The Most Favorable Terms Regarding Mortgage Fees, Settlement Fees, Possession, And Personal Property Can Be As Important As The Price. The Benefit Of Third Party Negotiation Can Be One Of The Most Effective Services Offered By An Agent.
ANALYZE & POSITION
FOR A FAST, EFFICIENT & PROFITABLE SALE
Market fluctuations, time of year and inventory will all have a direct impact on pricing your home. For a fast, efficient and profitable sale, I will provide you with a detailed report outlining the latest market trends, a full market valuation of your home and a Comparative Market Analysis.
No matter how hot the market might be, simply placing your home on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is not enough. I will consult with you on how to best position your home for sale and attract the right prospects to your doorstep.
PRICE
Should you price your home at or below market? It depends. Pricing your home in a manner that will attract multiple buyers who will compete with each other, and not you, requires experience and a thorough understanding of the market. I will advise you on the most appropriate pricing strategy.
PREPARATION
It is a psychological advantage for prospective buyers to see themselves living in your uncluttered home. For this reason, painting, deep cleaning and depersonalizing are crucial elements to a quick sale. I will manage the preparation of your home in a manner that suits your comfort level. Key cosmetic fixes are also important. Should you refinish your cabinets, change out the sink in the guest bathroom or invest in a new front door? I will advise you on changes that yield the greatest ROI.
PRESENTATION
Staging can be crucial to obtaining the highest price and fastest sale of your home. According to a survey by the Real Estate Staging Association, homes spend 78% less time on the market after being staged. As part of our marketing plan, we will stage your home to show at it’s best.
BENEFITS OF A PREAPPRAISAL & PREINSPECTION
The benefits of ordering an appraisal and a preinspection when initially listing the home can make the entire marketing process move smoother and quicker.
Establishes Objective Value
The Price Is Not Merely Set By The Seller But Placed On The Home By A Disinterested Third Party Whose Profession Is To Value Property.
Validates List Price
If The Appraisal And The List Price Are The Same, There Is Less Likelihood That The Buyer Will Discount The “Asking Price.”
Establishes Basis For Comparison
The Appraisal And Inspection Can Be Used To Compare With Subsequent Reports And Can Help To Validate Or Challenge Their Findings.
Saves Time
By Understanding What Might Need To Be Done To A Home Early In The Marketing Process, It Can Save Critical Time Between The Contract And Closing.
Creates Awareness Of Condition Of Home
A Third Party Inspection Of The Home By An Inspector Will Identify Areas That Need Attention And Serve As A Marketing Tool To Buyers To Give Proof To The Condition. It Can Also Be Used To Challenge Claims That The Buyer’s Inspector Might Make.
Anticipates Potential Problem Areas If Certain Things Are Identified By The First Inspection, It Gives The Seller The Opportunity To Repair Them At Competitive Rates Instead Of Possibly Having To Rush To Get Them Done Prior To Closing.
DANGERS OF OVERPRICING
• Many potential buyers won’t even look, thinking it’s out of their range.
• Those buyers who do look are shopping by comparison, and looking at your home may convince them to make a bid on a different property.
• Since an appraisal is often required in financing a property, it’s futile to price a property for more than it’s worth.
• Properties left on the market for extended periods of time usually become “shopworn”, causing many to believe something’s amiss.
• Overpricing tends to dampen the other salesperson’s attitude, making it less likely to be shown.
• Overpricing lengthens marketing time, and invariably results in a lower selling price than would have been otherwise obtained.
THE FIRST 30 DAYS ARE CRITICAL
The right price is important.
• A property generates the most interest when it first hits the market.
• The number of showings is greatest during this time if it is priced at a realistic market value.
• Starting too high and dropping later misses the excitement and fails to generate strong activity.
• Many homes that start high end up selling below market value.
HOW THE PRICE OF YOUR HOME IS DETERMINED
THE PRICE OF YOUR HOME IS DETERMINED IN SEVERAL WAYS:
The market value of your home is not:
1 What you have in the home
2. What you need out of it
3. What you want
4. What it appraised for
5. What you heard your neighbor’s home sold for
6. What the tax office says it’s worth
7. How much it’s insured for
8. Based on prices of homes where you are moving
The true market value of your home is…what a buyer is willing to pay for the property:
1 . Based on today’s market
2. Based on today’s competition
3. Based on today’s financing
4. Based on today’s economic conditions
5. Based on the buyer’s perception of the condition of the property
6. What the tax office says it’s worth
7. Based on the location
8. Based on normal marketing time
Properties that sell in today’s market: On a scale of 1-10 (“10” are the ones that are selling fast). How can your property be a “10”?
1 By improving the condition dramatically
2. By offering good terms
3. By improving the way the home shows
4. By adjusting the price

ADVERTISING
As part of the marketing campaign, your home will be featured on our website and some of the most popular sites such as Zillow and Trulia.
STAGING & PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY
It has been studied and shown that both the length of time on the market and sales price are positively impacted by a beautifully staged and photographed home. These are powerful tools not to be overlooked or underestimated.
Selling a home is part science, part art. Beyond analytics and market conditions, there is the human element to consider. Every buyer is trying to imagine themselves living in the home they are viewing.
Through the magic of staging and photography, you can ignite the flame of desire in a potential client to want to own and live in the space you are selling, and now call home.
PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR SALE
What more could you want than to get your home sold for top dollar in short order without any hassles? If you take a moment and read through the following suggestions before you put the property on the market, you’ll be on your way to a successful sale.
Our goal is to simplify, depersonalize, and de-clutter the home in order for it to show larger and brighter, giving a more spacious feeling to potential buyers. These steps will provide you with an advantage over the competition. Many items will need to be removed to storage and packed for moving. This is important and should be considered as merely giving you a head start on the move to your new home.
The list of things below will help your home show larger and brighter and give a more spacious feeling to potential buyers, giving you an advantage over the competition.
General Lighting Carpet:
• Start by airing out the home. Most people are turned off by even the smallest odor. Odors must be eliminated, especially if you have dogs, cats, or young children in diapers or if you are a smoker.
• If it has been over a year since the carpets have been cleaned or if they really need it now is the time to do it. Bare floors should be waxed or polished, as well. Clean and wipe down all stained woodwork including doors and cabinets with a wood polish such as “Old English” or “Liquid Gold.”
• Replace or clean A/C filters. Clean all A/C vents and intake grids. Keep A/C set no warmer than 75 degrees and heat no cooler than 70 degrees. Use an air freshener in each room (Glade “Plug-ins” work well, but try to avoid floral scents as they can be too strong).
• Upgrade the wattage in all light fixtures to the highest level safety will allow.
• Dust/Wash all light fixtures and fans.
• Steam clean if not replacing. If replacing, we can help you make choices that will be most appealing to buyers.
Bathrooms
• Clean all tubs, toilets, and sinks. Then, polish the sinks with lemon or vegetable oil. Polish all hardware to a shine.
• Stow unused shampoos, soaps, scrubbing implements, razors, etc., under the sink.
• Stow laundry hamper in the closet.
• Stow the wastebasket under the sink. Rugs/commode lid covers should be removed.
• Store cleansers under the sink.
• Streamline counter 1 or 2 decorative items only.
• Linen cabinets should be organized and items reduced.
• Use baskets to hold make-up and toiletries so that after use, they can be stored under the counter.
• Bathtubs, showers, and sinks should be freshly caulked.
• The grout and tile should be clean and in good condition. There should be no leaks in the faucets or traps.
SHOW YOUR PROPERTY
Listing appointments provide potential buyer with the opportunity to be in your home and imagine themselves living in the space. It is one of the best ways for buyers to discover and explore your home.
We will design an open house program convenient for you that may include weekend events, broker and twilight tours, private showings, and agent-only lockbox access.
Additionally, every open house will be promoted on the MLS which syndicates to major portals such as Zillow, Trulia, and RedFin. To capture local traffic, each event will be well-marked with directional signs on key street corners.
HOME PROTECTION PLANS
Home protection plans can increase the marketability of a home by providing an added “Peace Of Mind” Extra that competing homes may not have.
A Home Warranty Increases Marketability:
• Warranted homes sell up to 50% faster than non-warranted homes
• Homes with a warranty sell for about 3% more, on average (business week)
• Reduced chance the seller will be asked to reimburse the buyer for a breakdown of a covered component
• Better chance that the closing won't be delayed by a malfunctioning warranted item
• It provides the buyer with a full year of coverage on the home’s major systems and appliances after they move in.
• In the event that something covered breaks down, only a deductible is paid, and the warranty company pays the remainder.
Buyer Coverage On Selected Items:
• Central Heating System
• Electric Central Air System
• Interior Plumbing
• Built-In Appliances
• Electric Pool Equipment
The seller may also have coverage on certain items while the property is listed for sale, even before the coverage is paid for.
Homes sell 60% faster and for a higher price than homes without a home warranty according to a study by the National Home Warranty Association.
