Your home will go live on the MLS and will be viewable to the most potential buyers.
After accepting an offer, your home will officially be under contract!
The buyers will typically have an inspection contingency. We will negotiate any repair requests or credits made by the buyer once the Inspections are complete.
Hooray! Time to hand over your keys and celebrate selling your home.

PRICING IT RIGHT Pricing your home correctly the FIRST time might be the single most important step to getting your home sold fast. The first 2 weeks of listing your home yield the highest point of opportunity to sell your home for top dollar and all factors need to be just right.
PRICING The main goal is to price your home correctly the first time. You will attract more buyers because you will be attracting qualified buyers in the price range your home is listed in Your home will sell faster, for a higher price when you price it correctly from the start Buyers will take you more seriously and will reduce your odds of receiving a low offer
HOME VALUE What factors determine the price of your home? Recent Comparable Home Sales in your area Condition of your home at the time of going live on the market The Current Market Conditions (Buyers vs. Sellers Market) Terms you offer in your contract Competition in the market Features and upgrades that your home has to offer potential buyers
FACTORS What factors do NOT determine the price of your home? The price amount that you purchased your home for The cost of renovations that you made to your home What you think your home is worth How much you would like to profit off your home sale
PROS AND CONS OF PRICING IT.... BELOW MARKET VALUE
=
+ The home will receive high interest and a quick sale + You may get a multiple offer scenario, which may include offers higher than asking price - Risk of having to seller at a lower price
AT MARKET VALUE + Lower risk of appraisal issues + Buyers and agents will recognize a fair price + Will appear on more relevant buyer searches
OVER MARKET VALUE + If you have to receive a certain amount for the home - It will take much longer to sell - The more days it's on the market, the worse it looks to prospects - The home may not appraise by the buyer's lender, back to negotiations
PRICING MISCONCEPTIONS HE VALUE OF YOUR PROPERTY IS DETERMINED BY WHAT A BUYER IS WILLING TO PAY, AND WHAT A SELLER IS WILLING TO ACCEPT IN TODAY'S MARKET. It Is very Important to price your property at a competitive market value when we finalize the listing agreement.

We hired Sharra Mercer to help us sell our townhome and purchase our forever home. We liked her from the moment we met. Her friendly demeanor and warmth set us at ease in a stressful but exciting time in our lives. She set the wheels in motion immediately after our meeting and our home sold after the first Open House at asking price. She answered every question we had while trying to find our new home. Every email, text and phone call received prompt responses. She even showed us what would turn out to be our forever home on the 4th of July before we left town to visit family. She was honest with her feedback. Told us what was good about a potential home, and what wasn’t so good. You could tell she cared and she truly wanted us to find the right fit. She literally worked around the clock for us. We truly felt she was on our side with our family’s best interest at heart. Although we love our new home, if we ever needed to move again, we would call Sharra without hesitation. We cannot say enough great things about her or our experience. - Danelle & Brian
From day one Sharra was professional, extremely dedicated and hardworking as well as kind and pleasant to work with. We felt confident in her every step of the way during the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new home. Her entire team was lovely. Cannot recommend them enough! - Casey & Andrew
Sharra is the best realtor! She helped us sell our home and purchase a new one! Wonderful customer service and she has so much knowledge of the whole real estate process! - Mary & Joe
Sharra was great to work with and helped my fiancé and I buy and sell a home. She was very knowledgeable and made sure that all of our questions were answered. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her! -Jennifer & Doug
Sharra is a wonderful agent! She is professional, compassionate, detail oriented, knowledgeable and guided us every step of the way. She helped us buy our home last February and also listed/sold my elderly parents home last December. We will absolutely use Sharra again and also pass her name on to anyone that needs a class realtor. - Matt & Karin
