Selling a Home...
is a complex transaction that takes time, effort and expertise. It takes a real estate professional - like US!.
When selling your home, here are some areas where our knowledge and skill will help with the process:
We know the current real estate market and can help you set a realistic competitive price.
We are familiar with the local home loan market, knows if seller assistance is advisable and can help you decide the type of financing that’s best to expedite your sale.
We know how to figure the approximate net proceeds from your sale, based on types of loans, your outstanding loan balance and closing costs.
We know how to add sales appeal to your home at low or moderate cost.
We know where to find prospective buyers. Most homebuyers prefer to work with a real estate agent and serious prospects are "qualified" as to their affordable price range before they are shown through your home.
We can tap an even larger market, if necessary, through referrals and marketing techniques.
We free you from the problems associated with showing your home. We handle all phone inquiries, makes appointments, do the actual showing and follow ups. Your time is your own and your home is not exposed to anyone who has not been pre-qualified.
We are skilled salespeople who know how to merchandise your home effectively.
We maintain objectivity in responding to possible criticisms by the buyer and in presenting offers and counter-offers until an agreement is reached.
We know how to help the buyer meet local financing requirements and go about obtaining a mortgage loan.
We can familiarize you with the closing procedures by explaining them all in advance. We usually attend the closing with you.
We do more than you may think!

When showing your home
We are skilled sales people who know how to merchandise your home. We maintain objectivity in responding to buyer objections and in presenting offers and counter-offers until and agreement is reached.
We will advise prospects of all aspects and conditions of your home, even faults that you don’t intend to correct. This protects you from later
objections, and if a buyer likes everything else, one objection need not be a serious drawback. Your forthrightness will be appreciated.
We can offer you many suggestions, hints and tips on preparing your home so it looks its best when being shown to a buyer.
We are primarily interested in bringing together buyer and seller to negotiate an agreement satisfactory to both parties. Before the first showing and beyond the final sale, you’ll get the know-how and service you look for in a real estate professional who knows how to sell your home.
Make your home as light, airy and spacious as possible. Draw back drapes. Turn on a few extra lights. Keep pets out of the way. Soft background music can contribute to a relaxed mood, but a loud radio or TV, like pets, will tend to be distracting. Fresh bread or cookies baking in the oven help create a "homey" atmosphere.
Let us work for you. We can answer questions on price, terms, possession, etc., and maintain objectivity in resolving buyer objections.
