Asking yourself the following questions will help immensely with deciding on how we will market and price your house for sale.

Why are you selling your home?

How quickly do you need or want to sell your house?

We take this information and give you the best advice on how to reach as many goals as we can and insure that there are no unpleasant surprises along the way.

Your next objective should be to determine the best possible selling price for your house. You will need to take into account the state of the local market, the condition of your home and sales of comparable homes in your neighborhood.

It is often hard to maintain a non-biased view of your property, so you will want to gather the necessary information in the most objective way possible. If you want a truly objective opinion about the price of your home you could have an appraisal done. This may cost between $300 and $500.

Be reasonable about the price you set. You will always be better off setting a fair market value price than setting your price too high. If your home stays on the market too long because it is overpriced, potential buyers may think that something is wrong with it and you may end up selling it for less than what you could have gotten if you had started out with a realistic asking price.

Preparing your house to be shown to potential buyers is a very important step in getting it sold. We’ll be there to offer suggestions and tips to help you and on-going support to keep buyer’s interested and ready to put in offer’s.

When a potential buyer decides that they’d like to buy your house they’ll present you and offer. This a starting point for negotiation. Our job is to determine whether or not the buyer is qualified and has the means to actually complete the transaction.

Whenever we advise you in regards offers our mindset is looking for a win-win situation. Dominating the other side does not generally result in a good outcome and can even sabotage an otherwise favorable outcome. Our aim is to be and adviser and give you great information so that you can make the best choice for you and your family.

Once you agree to an offer there is an agreed upon period called a “Due Diligence Period” that the buyer will be able conduct inspections, get the house appraised and in general make sure that they are comfortable with the sale. During the Due Diligence Period the buyer may uncover issues with the property that will reopen negotiations to compensate for the fixing the issues. In some cases the problems may be turn off the buyer and they can legally end the contract at that point. Depending on the initial contract often times there will be a Due Diligence Fee that the buyer will pay directly to you the seller as consideration to take the home off the market while the buyer inspects it. This fee is kept by the seller even if the buyer ends contract during the Due Diligence Period.

In order to complete the sale of your property there is a meeting conducted typically by the buyers attorney called a “Closing”. Under most circumstances Jason will be present at the closing to explain the process and the forms and to make sure everything goes as planned.

It is necessary that you use the services of an attorney to prepare a new deed legally transferring the property from you the seller to the new buyer as well as pay the sales or escrow taxes that the state requires at the sale of real property.
