SELLING

#MYSPECIALTY!

IT'S MORE THAN PUTTING A SIGN ON YOUR LAWN

Putting your property on the market is no easy feat. Not only do you have to consider market conditions, decide on a price and prepare it inside and out for viewing by potential buyers, but you also have to let buyers know it is for sale. These tasks are daunting in the best of times, however, if you are faced with selling your property under difficult or emotional circumstances it can be downright overwhelming.

Working with a real estate professional, like me, is one of the best decisions you can make. Engaging my professional services and expertise means you will be guided along every step of the selling process. Just knowing what to do next can ease your stress as you embark on one of the biggest financial transactions of your life.

WHY CHOOSE JEFF?

My combination of skills, business experience, and innovative use of technology, as well as my ever expanding real estate network, will help me sell your home for the highest possible price in the shortest period of time. I have tools at the ready and I will work with you to ensure we meet the demands of a highly competitive, modern market. 

The bonus is... I fundamentally care about getting my clients the best deal I can for them.

PRICING YOUR HOME

The nature of real estate is that there are several other properties competing with your home on the market. In order to help you decide on a fair yet competitive price for your property, I will analyze the market activity in your area and consider that alongside the condition of your property. Posting at the right price will help attract qualified buyers and close a deal more quickly.

As part of this process I will generate a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report for your property. This report shows you the range of prices being paid for comparable homes in your area. Feel free to complete my online form to get a feel for your home's market value.

PREPARING YOUR PROPERTY FOR MARKET

First impressions count.  Big time.  I can't over-stress the importance of decluttering and deep cleaning before opening your home to potential buyers.  The condition of your property will be closely scrutinized and a bit of elbow grease can mean the difference of thousands of dollars on a sale - or potentially prevent a sale altogether. Now is the time to fix any damage, touch up paint, cut the lawn and depersonalize your decor. Leave your house clean and tidy for every viewing. Remember, you don't get a second chance to make a good first impression.   

INNOVATIVE MARKETING

There are many tricks in the marketing trade, but none surpass the power of the internet.  As soon as you list with me, your property will be advertised around the world through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).  I will also agressively market your home through traditional and digital marketing and networking channels.  I will use descriptive text, photography, videography (optional), and social media posts to reach a variety of targeted audiences. Other options for your consideration are agent tours and agent / public open houses.  We can discuss and decide together which approaches are the most appropriate for your property.

THE OFFER

You've found it! Now to make it yours requires a negotiation of the terms of sale. I will guide you and remind you of things to consider while you decide on what to include in your offer.  I prepare all of the paper work on your behalf and represent you in all negotiations and dealings with the listing agent and/or seller.  It may take some back and forth before you and the seller come to an agreement, but don't worry, I've got your back.

FROM OFFER TO CLOSING

Yay - an agreement has been reached!  Boo - there is still lots to do! 

Often an offer is made with conditions of purchase which the buyer agrees to address within a short period of time following the offer. Conditions generally include: confirmation of financing; an insurance inspection; a house inspection etc.  Depending on the circumstances, there may also be other steps or conditions of sale to address before a sale is deemed complete.

Once the conditions of sale are met, the legal process of transferring ownership of the property from the seller to buyer begins. This step and ownership of your new property is only complete upon the transfer of funds and signing of documents with your lawyer on closing day.
