A specific plan
As your agent representing I will put together a detailed plan for marketing your home for the best possible price. This plan has many facets, which will include many of the following: doing a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to see what your home could sell for, listing your home on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and other sites, developing sales flyers, “staging” your home to help it look its best, having professional photos taken for advertising, scheduling showings to other agents and brokers as well as scheduling an “open house.”
Your best interests
As a listing agent working for you, I am obligated to negotiate the best price and terms for any offers you receive. I will be mindful of any information in the negotiation process that could help your cause. Part of my process is screening interested buyers to make sure they are good candidates for your house and are preapproved for a mortgage.
Feedback
I will be candid with you about any aspects of your home that need attention, such as repairs that could be an impediment to selling. Please know that I have a duty to disclose any material facts about the property to the buyers and their agent. I will also provide feedback from prospects who have viewed your home. Such critiques could be valuable for sharpening your home’s presentation.
Shepherding the contract and closing process
Once you have accepted an offer and have a sales contract, I will help you navigate the complex steps ahead such as option fees, escrow, dealing with appraisers and inspectors, finding contractors for repairs and much more. This is where having an organized agent can spare you lots of anxiety as closing day approaches.
Fiduciary responsibility
Above all, I have a fiduciary responsibility to look out for your best interests. It is important that we develop an honest and open working relationship with one another. I hope that you found me through a referral of a trusted friend and I look forward to working with you too!
