DECIDING TO SELL
So you have decided to sell your property. Before anything else, it is a good idea to sit down and clarify your motivations and draw up a basic time frame for the selling process.
Why Sell?
Why do you want to sell your property? Do you intend to simply find a larger property, or do you plan on moving to another neighborhood, school district, city or state? Being clear about your intentions for selling will make it easier for you and your Realtor to determine the most appropriate options and establish a specific game plan for your individual financial, lifestyle, and real estate goals.
When Should I Sell?
The first step in selling your home is to establish your time frame. If you need to sell quickly, we can speed up the process by giving you a complete market analysis and action plan to obtain all of your goals. If there is no pressing need to sell immediately, we can spend extra time exploring current market conditions and find the most favorable time to sell. It’s never too early to talk with a Realtor about your home selling goals.
What Is The Market Like?
When you work with us, you can be sure that you will have our knowledge, expertise and negotiating skills at work for you to arrive at the best market prices and terms. We will keep you up-to-date on what is happening in the marketplace and the price, financing, terms and conditions of competing properties. With us, you will know exactly how to price and when to sell your property.
How Do I Optimize My Finances?
When selling, it’s important to consider your current financial situation as well as future financial outcomes of a sale. We are here to help determine the best way to maximize the potential of your home (in the way your home is presented and in the price you are able to obtain), effectively assess the cumulative impact of these changes, and estimate potential proceeds of selling your property.
