Seller Experience

The Seller E xperience

We have assisted thousands of people in the purchase or sale of a home, which for most of them is the largest, single asset they will own in their lifetime. And in the course of doing all that business, we’ve learned the area rather well - after all, it’s also the place we call home.

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices - Yost & Little Realty is one of the most trusted real estate names in North Carolina. Not only does that mean that home buyers and sellers have a valuable partner at their side, it means we’re here to stay.

Beyond our name, there are certain qualities that define us: traits, practices and values. That’s our will to exceed expectations for exemplary service and professionalism in every single thing we do. We build lasting relationships based on trust and care with our clients and the communities we serve. We partner with our associates to create an environment that fosters success and meaningful careers. Most importantly, we exist to redefine home buying, selling and ownership by integrating all the elements of the transaction into a seamless real estate experience.

The Seller Experience

The seller experience begins and ends with you. I will serve as your professional consultant to guide you through this transition, and any future real estate needs. I am dedicated to streamlining the experience so you can focus on the demands of daily life.

Initial Consultation

PROPER PRICING

I will assist you with pricing your home based on a competitive market analysis. This will help you set the best price on your home so that it will sell within your time frame.

I will also review potential costs associated with selling your home in order to reduce the likelihood of surprises.

MARKET VALUE

Understanding Market Value

Market-sensitive pricing can be the key to maximum market exposure and ultimately, a satisfactory sale.

Competitive Market Analysis

A Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) is an evaluation of similar, recently sold homes in proximity to the home intended to be bought or sold. These homes are of similar size, condition, age and style. Neither a seller nor a sales associate can determine the price of a home; the market determines the price of every home.

Dangers of Overpricing

An asking price beyond the market range can adversely affect property marketing.

• Fewer buyers are attracted and fewer offers will be received.

• Marketing time is prolonged and initial marketing momentum is lost.

• The property attracts lookers and helps competing houses look better.

• If a property does sell above true market value, it might not appraise and the buyers may not be able to secure a loan.

• The property may eventually sell below market value as a result of extended days on the market.

PERCENT OF BUYERS WHO WILL VIEW A PROPERTY

Prepare Property & Develop Marketing Strategy

PREPARATION

First impressions are key when selling a home. Before the ‘for sale’ sign goes up, put in the time to make sure your home is camera ready. Fresh paint, clean closets, and staging – there’s a lot you can do to maximize your market value. Consider a prelisting inspection if you have lived in the home for several years. Reviewing the property disclosure form can also serve as a checklist.

MARKETING STRATEGY

The vast majority of homebuyers use the internet in their home search so your marketing plan will include focused online activities, in addition to print collateral and open houses.

GOALS

• To make the process easier for you.

• To put you in the strongest negotiating position possible.

• To get your home sold and get you where you want to go on time.

DIGITAL EXPOSURE

Tailored for your listing

Did you know the average person spends over two hours a day on social media? We know how to navigate the digital world to meet potential buyers online. By creating a diverse online presence across multiple networks, we promote our properties using our intelligent targeting system to connect with the right buyer.

We reach over 10 million and generate over 300,000 clicks on average per year with our digital advertising efforts.

DIGITAL PARTNERS

Buyer behavior has shifted to a digital medium and the use of the internet to find properties continues to increase at a steady rate year-over-year.

As more buyers conduct their property searches online, you can be confident your home will be showcased locally and globally. Our strategic partnerships with select real estate websites ensure that your home will be published through hundreds of powerful online channels. Additionally, our worldwide recognition and unmatched marketing efforts help you reach buyers everywhere. We excel at engaging audiences through ongoing placement strategies.

DIGITAL

All of our open houses are advertised on our listing syndication network and our website to ensure that potential buyers are being reached.

Broker Open House

A valuable opportunity for local sales associates who represent prospective buyers to preview your property.

Promotional materials to showcase your home

· Yard Sign

· Door Hangers

ACTIVATE & SHOW PROPERTY

After preparing your home for market and developing our marketing plan we will begin showings. Our showing service will contact you to schedule appointments on behalf of buyer’s agent who desire to bring their clients. We will provide consistent communication with showing feedback and report results of marketing activities. During this time we can modify the marketing plan and pricing strategy as necessary.

Analytics and Reporting

We keep you informed every step of the way. Our seller reports contain extensive information regarding online views of your property, including the number of times our website visitors looked at the listing details, how many times the property was emailed to clients, and any activity that was completed by a visitor looking at the property online. Our digital performance reports contain information about ad views, clicks and engagements for our online campaigns promoting your listing.

Accept the Best

RECEIVE OFFER

Once an offer or multiple offers are received from a potential buyer or their buyer’s agent, I will guide you through the proposed price and terms. I will clarify each item and answer questions to help you decide whether or not to accept or respond with a counter offer.

NEGOTIATIONS

Response – Will you accept, reject or counter?

Negotiations can involve everything from sales price to concessions or dates. I am an expert negotiator whose job is to represent your interests. I will negotiate through the buyer’s agent to reach a favorable final agreement. The offer becomes a binding contract on the effective date, i.e. when the document is signed by all parties and communicated.

NEGOTIATIONS CAN INVOLVE EVERYTHING FROM SALES PRICE TO CONCESSIONS OR DATES.

Contract Period

DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD

The seller receives a copy of the executed contract along with the due diligence fee. Earnest monies are deposited with the escrow agent. Due diligence investigations are performed by buyers (inspections, appraisal, survey, etc.) During this time the buyer can terminate the contract for any reason and receive the earnest money deposit back. The home inspector is hired by the buyer to determine if the home is in need of any repairs. An inspector will check items, such as the roof, major systems, structure, plumbing, and electrical systems.

REPAIR NEGOTIATIONS

The buyers will have an opportunity to submit a repair request and negotiate with you to cover the costs of requested repairs or to ask for concessions.

PENDING PERIOD

I will help coordinate the preparation of attorney drafted seller documents (deed, lien waiver, 1099). I will always stay in contact with you and on top of the timelines. You will be responsible for removing personal property and preparing the home for the buyer’s final walk through in advance of settlement. Prior to settlement, you will receive a closing disclosure outlining all of the proceeds and fees that apply to you. We will review this together so that I can answer any questions.

CLOSING

At settlement, all the paperwork is signed by the buyer and seller, both parties pay any settlement fees and the documents are officially recorded. Proceeds are delivered to the seller and keys are made available to the buyer.
