The Selling Process

 

Selling a property requires careful planning to achieve the highest return on your investment. We can't control the market but we can position ourselves in a way that will maximize our chances for a faster sale and a higher sales price. We do that by getting the property market-ready, marketing the listing with a powerful impact, and pricing it competitively.

 

Here's a quick overview of what you can expect when you work with me as a listing agent:

1. Initial Consultation

Evaluation of your property and your financial goals.

2. CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) and Price Opinion

The CMA is crucial in determining a property's market value. We look at recently sold and pending listings as well as your active competition to determine the listing price.

3. Property Preparation Consultation

Giving you advice on what interior and exterior upgrades would help with the sale of your home and how the property should be presented to the public.

4. Marketing Services

I market my listings with the highest level of professional design quality and vision. Accordingly, my marketing plans are always customized to highlight your property's unique appeal and features. Here are some samples of my marketing services:

 Living Room

• Professional Photography.

• Custom property website with unique URL (e.g. www.queenannecondo.com)

• Professionally designed brochures and/or flyers.

• Public open houses and broker’s open houses.

• Property listings on numerous high-traffic websites including Trulia, Zillow, Craigslist, and more.

• Electronic flyers to local agents. What's This?
• Silent talkers. What's This?
• Private showings upon request.

• And much more...

5. MLS Listing

After activating your listing on the NWMLS (Northwest Multiple Listing Service) it will be visible on all major property search engines within hours.

6. Offer Review

Once we receive an offer for your property we will review the entire contract in great detail. We'll discuss its strong points and potential risks.

7. Negotiation

I will negotiate your terms with the buyer agent and ensure that your objectives are met.

8. Inspection

After the buyer has completed the inspection we will likely enter a second round of negotiations to determine if additional adjustments need to be made to the contract.

9. Transaction Management

During the closing period (the period of time between mutual acceptance and the closing date) I will manage your transaction and ensure that all parties are aware of upcoming deadlines and all contractual obligations that need to be met before closing.

Electronic Flyers are e-mail advertisements for your property. They are sent to realtors who work in your listing area. Their structure and layout is very similar to printed flyers.
