Selling your home is a big decision. Having an experienced real estate agent who will help you think through all of the variables unique to your situation is very important. In addition to helping you sell your property for the highest price, a quality agent will help keep things moving efficiently. This reduces the stress that often comes with selling one of your biggest assets. It’s important you have all information you need to make the right choices and prevent unforeseen obstacles from derailing your plans. Here is a list of things you should expect from whomever you hire as your Realtor:
Risk Free Consultation
- Determining your needs and priorities
- Review your Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)
- Discuss a through and competitive marketing plan
- Develop a comprehensive pricing strategy that ensures you’re not leaving any money on the table
- Explore prudent repairs or enhancements (de-clutter and de-personalize)
- Recommendations for other Pre-Listing Services
- Home Inspection – eliminate potential problems before they occur
- Home Warranty – eliminate potential (and costly) surprises for you. Warranties typically transfer to the buyer for 1 year after the sale.
Listing Your Home For Sale

Review Offer(s) and Reach Agreement with the Buyer
- Discuss all offers terms in detail
- Multiple offers? Compare all offers to see how well each meets your needs (price, timeline, strength of the buyer and mortgage lender)
- Negotiate potential counter offer(s)
- Reach final agreement, sign all documents pertaining to the sale
Completing the Sale
- Facilitate property access for inspectors, appraisers, etc.
