The
second and most important person you are hiring is a
professional to guide you through the maze of legal
paperwork, inspections, financing and inevitable hitches
to complete the sale of your home after you've found your
buyer.
Because its an unfortunate fact of life that today's
consumers are more inclined to litigate than ever before,
you want a knowledgeable expert to negotiate on your
behalf, to prepare a strong contract that clearly
addresses the many details of the transaction, to monitor
the buyers' financing and to oversee the many details that
must be handled on the way to closing.
With over 20 years experience and satisfied clients that
have bought/sold multiple homes over the years, the
Relocation Team of professionals offer the best service
available to home sellers.
There
are three reasons a property sells
-
Price
-
Condition
-
Realtor
Price and Condition
You control
these. Especially
in our area, where every home and lot are unique, the
right price can only be determined by a well-researched
market evaluation. As
a home seller, you should get a written market analysis
comparing your home to similar properties that have
recently sold and that are currently on the market.
Your home’s condition is vital to a sale.
A clean, well-maintained home enjoys a competitive
edge over all the other homes to enhance its appeal.
Tupper assists you with pricing and staging
recommendations.
Realtor
You want your
home presented to the marketplace broadly and in its best
light. Look
for an extensive marketing campaign and professional
marketing materials. Your
Realtor advises you on market conditions, negotiating and
contracting strategies and closing activities.
A
FEW WORDS ABOUT PRICING
Do
not list with the Realtor who gives you the highest price.
Consumer Reports stated….
“Expect
the agent to suggest a price range, but don’t let that
frame you in. Be
aware that some devious agents will at first suggest a
very handsome price. Then,
after they have the listing and the house hasn’t sold,
they’ll come back with a pitch to lower the price.”
If
you bought IBM stock 5 years ago and wanted to sell it
today, would you call your stockbroker and tell him that
you insisted on selling at a 200% profit?
Or would you ask him to advise you about what the
market price is? Same
principle with Realtors and their market analyses.
Relocation
Team Worldwide prepares a thorough, well-researched market
analysis on every listing.
As a result, we sell our listings at very close to
asking price and he doesn’t experience appraisal
problems. Its
part of the service you pay for.
A FEW WORDS ON CONDITION
We
live in our homes in one way, we market them in another.
Just as builders recognize that a finished, clean
pleasantly decorated model home enables them to enhance
the appeal of the homes they are building, ‘staging’
your home to enhance its appeal will give you a
competitive edge against all the other homes on the
market.
Five
hundred dollars spent cleaning, painting and making minor
repairs can pay you back $5,000 in a higher sales price
and result in a faster sale.
We
know which items are cost-effective and will pay you back
many times over in buyer interest.
After you agree to list your home with us, we will
detail which simple, easy steps you can take to enhance
your home’s appeal.
Relocation
Team Worldwide is responsible for marketing your home.
You are in control of the marketability of your
home.
