Selling a Home

When THE sale matters, the Realtor matters.

When selling a home, there are no guarantees that a buyer will simply walk through the front door and buy the property. Statistics show that more than 80% of the people who try to sell their house by themselves fail and waste precious time, often weeks or months.

To sell a property, the property needs to be brought in front of buyers. Effective marketing will help ensure that your property receives maximum exposure to attract a ready, willing and able buyer and I can help you do just that. I can help you define the current market value for your property, define the best strategy for you to sell your home, and of course defend your best interest during the negotiation process.

Selling your home is not about me, but it is about you, and it is about selling one of your most valuable asset. As your agent, I will watch over your asset, your money and your best interest, the same way that I would do it, if it was for myself, no difference.

To find the current value of your home, I will provide a free Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) and depending on the number of home sales in your neighborhood, I will provide prices for comparable properties sold in your neighborhood during the last 3 to 12 months. I will also provide a list of comparable properties currently listed for you to know who your competition is, a list of the homes that were listed and did not sell and a list of the homes withdrawn from the market.

I will advise you on how to get your home ready for sale so that you can get top dollars from the sale.

I will provide all my expertise and my knowledge of the current market. In the current market conditions, my CDPE designation will be an asset in the sale of your home. If you are not in a distressed situation yourself, when your home is for sale, it is very probable that you competition will be.

I will also bring to you the power of the Long and Foster network. Long and Foster constently has the largest market share in the Mid-Atlantic market for residential real estate. Our market share is higher than the all our competitors and we are by far the leader in the Mid-Atlantic region.

When you list your property with me, you put your property in front of the biggest poll of buyers in the Mid-Atlantic region through the Long and Foster websites, network, and Realtors. As a CIAS designated agent, I also work with investors. If you home is likely to interest investors, I will market your home to my list of investors who are constantly buying properties.

Marketing is key because today most buyers are using either the internet or their realtor to locate their next home. Your property will be listed on my web site, the Long and Foster web site and I will also make sure that your property is listed in all the main real estate web sites who are part of the Long and Foster network.

Once your property is under contract, I will make sure that the process goes through smoothly and that all third parties involved in the transaction, such as title company, buyer's lender, appraiser, and inspector have everything ready to close the transaction on time.

Selling a home can be stressfull when you are not used to the process. Let me help you, I will make things easier.

My goal is to provide the highest level of service possible to all my clients, and to give you the best real estate experience.
