Preparing Your Home for Sale
-
Property Inspection - Before I list your home, I will inspect and identify improvements that could increase profit on the sale.
-
Staging - If requested, a professional decorator will stage your home so it can be presented in its best possible light.
-
Establishing Goals - Markets can fluctuate so it's important to establish your goals so that I can work hard to meet them.
-
Listing Price - Its important that Seller's understand that a Seller determines the listing price of a home, but Buyer's determine the current market value of a home by comparing it to the price of similar homes in the neighborhood. Establishing a competitive listing price is critical to the success of the sale. I will use the most advanced Comparative Marketing Analysis (CMA) tools to compare your home to other homes on the market and help us achieve a quick sale at the highest possible price.

Access to your property will be monitored and a secure coded lockbox will be placed on the property. No one will gain admittance to your property without contacting me for permission and without your knowledge.
