BEFORE YOU LIST

1. The Big Picture

We’ll sit down with you to get the big picture. We’ll cover all the bases – why you want to sell, what your goals are, where you’re going and when you want to get there. This will help us set out a plan that makes the sale of your home go as smoothly as possible.

3. Showcasing Your Home – sell it faster and for more money

Our world changes quickly and we think you deserve a team that is on trend and up to speed with the latest technological advances and media that should be used to better showcase, and sell your home.

With that in mind, now that your home is market ready, our number 1 priority is being absolutely certain that your listing is finding it’s way in front of the eyes of qualified buyers. That’s why we create a powerful listing, using all the tools in our arsenal including:

2. Listing Management – communication and follow up

“I hired a Realtor® and then never heard from them again” is a refrain we’ve all heard far too often. We promise that will never happen with us. Ongoing, clear, and open communication is an absolute must when it comes to selling a home and we’ve got a process in place to ensure it happens, every time.

  • Professional negotiating
  • Clauses and conditions that are in your best interest
  • Inspection and walk through management
  • Attention to the finest details
