4 Factors that affect the saleability of your home
Price Point
Pricing your home for the current market is important for maximum exposure and ultimately, a satisfactory sale.
- Factors that determine a property's value: location, design, amenities, competing properties, economic conditions
- Factors that have little or no influence:
price the seller originally paid, amount spent on improvements
Market Conditions
The real estate market is always fluctuating, and as your Agent we will be able to discuss the pros and cons of listing during varied market conditions.
Property Condition
The condition of your property will have a lot to do with the selling price and how quickly it will sell. If there are repairs needed, or if professional staging is required, we will be there to assist and offer my guidance and network.

3. pre-launch
All of our marketing materials are collected. From photography to lock boxes on your home, we make sure everything is prepared for launch day.
4. launch day
It's time! Your home's profile is posted online. A yard sign is placed on your property. Any and all marketing materials we've agreed upon will be rolled out.

Consistent exposure of your home is spread across the marketing platforms. All scheduled events are completed until we reach a sales agreement.
6. Sales Agreement
Once an offer has been made, we will review all terms and conditions and respond as needed.
7. Inspections
Your buyer will probably hire an inspector to review your home. The inspector is likely to recommend repairs or upgrades and we will negotiate on your behalf.
8. loan commitment
The buyer's loan is underwritten and appraisal is performed. All buyer's documentation is verified and we wait for approval.
9. closing preparation
The lender's requirements have been met and the documents have been ordered. Closing has been scheduled. I will review the figures and the buyer has a final walk through of your home usually 24-48 hours prior to closing.
10. closing
The last step! Documents are signed, keys are exchanged and proceeds received. You may cancel your utilities and insurance, and your yard sign is removed from your property. We are there to help after the sale of your home - whenever you need us!
