Home Selling Made Easy For You

I provide my clients with a consistent proven method and strategy to prepare their homes for sale. It’s important to competitively price your home to sell (not just sit on the market) AND I use over 100+ online outlets, social media platforms, technology, my personal database, open houses and virtual tours, to reach as many prospective buyers as possible.  When I sell your home, I provide my 20+ years of expertise and honed negotiation methods to obtain a higher price and faster sale.

1. Pricing
The most important step when I sell your home is pricing it correctly right from the beginning. The majority of home showings occur in the first 30 days. This is a critical timeframe when launching your home to the world and the price point needs to be spot on. With my advanced training and years of experience, I will create a comprehensive report that will accurately determine the target list price for your home. *This detailed market analysis is always complimentary to you.

2. Condition & Staging
The first impression of your home needs to be viewed in the best possible way … bright, open, clean. I will assist you in identifying any repairs or updates and make suggestions that will help position your home above the competition.  Before your home goes on the market, I will also offer home staging advise & tips. And, if you are interested, connect you with a professional stager for a consultation.

3. Marketing
When you hire me, I present professional images, video/tours, with an extensive presence on the web, social networks, email/direct mail and quality print to feature your home where buyers are searching. My Brokerage is unparalleled to others. At eXp Realty, we are ONE Brokerage which allows me to access to 19,000 eXp Agents to share and network with in our Virtual Campus in the Cloud. I meet and network with eXp Realtors from all over the U.S. & Canada in my virtual office. This is a major benefit available that no other real estate brokerage offers at this time!

4. Negotiating & Communicating
It’s important to have a great communicator and negotiator as your Realtor. When an offer is presented, I have a proven track record of bringing buyers and sellers together to create a successful contract with best terms, no or short contingencies, few repairs and low closing seller’s credit. I manage the transaction with a prioritized checklist from beginning to close.

5. The Closing
When I sell your home, I provide regular updates and feedback from showing appointments and will recommend any adjustments.  In order to keep a pulse on our competition, I set up a customized neighborhood search that will alert in “real time” with homes Just Listed, Sold or go Under Contract/Pending. When an offer is negotiated and your home goes under contract, I use my online transaction management system to make sure the buyers and their agent meet their contractual obligations in a timely and stress free manner. Creating a successful closing is the most rewarding and my top priority!

9 Tips for a Profitable Home Closing

It’s important for YOU to walk away from the closing table with all the money you’re entitled to from the sale of your home.

1. Take Services Out of Your Name

Avoid a dispute with the buyers after closing over things like fees for the cable service you forgot to discontinue. Contact every utility and service provider to end or transfer service to your new address as of the closing date.

If you’re on an automatic-fill schedule for heating oil or propane, don’t pay for a pre-closing refill that provides free fuel for the new owner. Contact your insurer to terminate coverage on your old home, get coverage on your new home, and ask whether you’re entitled to a refund of prepaid premium.

2. Spread the Word On Your Change of Address

Provide the post office with your forwarding address two to four weeks before the closing. Also notify credit card companies, publication subscription departments, friends and family, and your financial institutions of your new address. Make arrangements with the new buyer of your home to contact you or your realtor to pick up an unexpected package or mail that is still trickling in.

3. Leave Before Moving

Leave all keys, garage door openers, keys & mailbox number & location, alarm information, garage pad code & reset information, trash days and any other information you may find helpful to the new owner.

4. Manage the Movers

Scrutinize your moving company’s estimate. If you’re making a long-distance move, which is often billed according to weight, note the weight of your property and watch so the movers don’t use excessive padding to boost the weight. Also check with your homeowners insurer about coverage for your move. Usually movers cover only what they pack.

5. Do the Settlement Math

Title company employees are only human, so they can make mistakes. The day before your closing, check the math on your HUD-1 Settlement Statement.

6. Review Charges on Your Settlement Statement

Are all mortgages being paid off, and are the payoff amounts correct? If your real estate agent promised you extras—such as a discounted commission or a home warranty policy—make sure that’s included. Also check whether your real estate agent or title company added fees that weren’t disclosed earlier. If any party suggests leaving items off the settlement statement, consult a lawyer about whether that might expose you to legal risk.

7. Search for Missing Credits

Be sure the settlement company properly credited you for prepaid expenses, such as property taxes and homeowners association fees, if applicable. If you’ve prepaid taxes for the year, you’re entitled to a credit for the time you no longer own the home. Have you been credited for heating oil or propane left in the tank?

8. Don’t Leave Money in Escrow

End your home sale closing with nothing unresolved. Make sure the Title Company releases money already held in escrow for you and avoid leaving sales proceeds in a new escrow to be dickered over later.

9. Seller’s Contact Mortgage Company

Seller’s please contact your mortgage company your loan was held with about 7-10 business days after closing to verify your loan has been paid off and no balance is due. Also, make sure they have your new mailing address to send any monies left in your impound account where your taxes and insurance was paid from.
