"Successful people do those things which unsuccessful people think are a waste of time."

3 Steps for Successfully Marketing Property

1-Before the Home is Listed- Gathering Information and Preparation
2-Once The Home is Listed- The Marketing Plan
3-After an Offer to Purchase is Received- Negotiation and Follow Through
 
Before I List Your Home, I will:
-- Research and analyze property values by studying recently sold properties, analyzing expired listings and reviewing homes currently on the market. To understand the heartbeat of your market place it normally takes 7-10 hours to prepare my information.
-- Secure tax information on your property
-- Secure special assessment information
-- Discuss pricing strategy
-- Recommend possible improvements to yield the highest/best price
-- Assist you with instructions for showing appointments
-- Explain seller closing costs and net proceeds
-- Discuss exclusions and personal property
