KEY MARKET FACTORS | COMPETITIVE MARKET ANALYSIS The proper balance of these factors will expedite your sale.
PRICE
Pricing your home correctly from the start is the deciding factor on how long it will take to sell it.
CONDITION
The condition of the property affects the price and the speed of the sale. As prospective buyers often make purchases based on emotion, first impressions are so important. Our team will be able to help in optimizing the physical appearance of your home to maximize the buyer’s perception of value.
COMPETITION
Prospective buyers are going to compare your property - both the condition and the price - to the other listings in and around your neighborhood. Those buyers will determine value based on properties that are listed or have recently sold in the area.
TIMING
Property values are affected by the current real estate market. Because we can’t manipulate the market, we’ll collaborate on a pricing and marketing strategy that will take advantage of the first 30 days your property is listed. It’s the window of opportunity when buyers and their agents discover your property and are most likely to visit and make offers.
LOCATION
Location is the single most crucial factor in determining the value of your property.
TERMS
Terms structured to meet our objectives are essential to successful marketing.

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE
UNDER CONTRACT!
Once we receive offers on your home, your agent will review and advise you on the pros and cons of each offer. You may opt to sign an offer immediately or to work with your agent on crafting a counterproposal to ask the buyer for an improvement on price or terms. Once both parties have signed, the road to closing begins.
DISCLOSURES
Your buyer has the opportunity to review any disclosures that you have provided, as well as any Homeowners Association (HOA) documents.
TITLE REVIEW
Title Insurance guarantees to the new owner that the property is transferred to them without any other claims or liens that could impact their ownership. Your SFH agent takes an early look at title documents to ensure smooth sailing..
INSPECTION
Most purchase contracts allow the buyer a specified amount of time to inspect the property and potentially make repair requests. SFH agents know how to navigate the negotiations surrounding inspections to your advantage.
APPRAISAL
Buyers using mortgage financing will have to pay for an appraisal to ensure that the property value supports the loan. SFH agents take a proactive approach with the appraiser to make sure the appraisal comes in at the value needed.
CONGRATULATIONS
YOUR HOME IS SOLD! CLOSING!
Once all of the documents are signed by both parties, the escrow holder will verify the buyer’s funds, pay off any outstanding mortgages or liens, and legally transfer title to the property. The buyer gets the keys to the home, and you receive funds wired directly into your bank account!
