This is our sincere promise to you!

Learn the True Value of Your Home

Pricing your home properly from the start makes all the difference. We'll provide you with a professionally prepared comparative market analysis, along with a one-on-one consultation to go over in detail not only the market and comparable sales, but also what costs to expect with the sale of your home. We can also arrange to show you the current competition after we have had an opportunity to present our comparative market analysis and actually visit your home. We will utilize our market expertise to determine your home's value. 

Get Your Home Ready for the Competitive Market

We can look at your home through a buyer's eyes. We will advise you as to any repairs or improvements that will help sell your home for the highest price in the shortest amount of time. We will also counsel you as to staging your home so that your home shows the best. This may include pre-packing and de-cluttering. We want potential home buyers to feel comfortable in your home and vision their own belongings! This is not the time to show-off your furnishings!

Price it Right

Based on the current market value of your home in today's market, we'll suggest a realistic pricing strategy based on your goals and objectives. It is not only important to price your home correctly, but to price it correctly in the beginning. We will go over this in more detail during our private consultation.

Prepare for Showings. First Impressions Do Really Count

Homes tend to sell more quickly and for higher prices when they show their BEST! It is very important that your home shows well. Develop a routine that will allow you to pick up and be prepared to show in a reasonable period without duress ... a 45 minute countdown for example. This means that certain things must be done in advance -- beds made early in the morning, dirty dishes in the dishwasher, and laundry off the floor. We do not want you rushing around tending to these matters, but rather preparing for a showing in an organized, un-hassled routine. We will go over more specifics with what you need to do before each showing as we get your home ready to sell. We want to set the stage to make the best impression on each prospective buyer!

All our ducks are in a row and the day is here -- we are on our way to closing! The closing, also called settlement, is the event that transfers ownership of the property to the new buyer(s).
