When it's time to sell a house, some folks consider selling without a realtor. Before you go that direction, make sure you know the tasks that lie ahead! Below is a very condensed list of tasks performed by real estate professionals:
- Provide an accurate market analysis so you sell the house at top dollar
- Advise on the best way to present the house so it attracts a ready, able, and willing buyer
- Provide referrals for painters, repair people, window cleaners, stagers, and other vendors prior to and during the sale of the house
- Help with completion and coordination of disclosures and other pertinent forms and documents
- Create professional marketing materials, provide professional photographs, and ensure accurate square footage measurements
- Network with agents and call contacts daily to find buyers for the house
- Arrange for individual visits to the property and help ensure the house is available for inspections, appraisals, and walk-throughs
- Answer sign calls to provide information about the house to potential buyers and other real estate agents
- Negotiate on your behalf to get you the best possible terms and conditions
- Strategize and assist you through the inspection-negotiations period
- And so much more!
Don't Just Take Our Word for It — Notes From a Client
"Jill, thank you so much for your help. You said you were working with someone who was considering listing his home as for sale by owner. Feel free to pass this email on to them as the more I thought about that idea I am very glad we used your team to sell our house.
After having very positive experiences with you and your team, we really understand the value of a great realtor and real estate team. In our current sale, our buyers made several requests that my wife and I viewed as ridiculous and a waste of time. Had we been on our own in these negotiations, I would have surely lost my cool and put the sale in jeopardy. You have been able to work with our frustrations and respond to the buyers in a way that clearly and professionally communicates our position without the emotion that may cause the sale to break down. In addition to this your team has been a fantastic resource for us to use throughout the process, taking a lot of stress off our family. I will continue to highly recommend you and your team to anyone I know without reservation. Feel free to have potential clients call me or email me for a reference. Thanks again! Bryan"
When you hire a real estate agent, you hire someone who is working for you to get the best price possible for your home in today's market. On average, homes sold by realtors sell for 16% more than homes sold by owners! The money you ‘spend’ on commissions will be well worth it when you net more for your house while having someone handle all the work for you!
Give us a call and we will help you like we helped Bryan and his family!
