We prepare a comparative market analysis using current market conditions in your immediate area and recent sales of comparable properties. In short we provide you with all the information that you need to determine a fair market value for your property.

Staging Your Property You never have a second chance to make a first impression. This is why "staging" your property is so important. Whether we are marketing your property for sale or lease, the first impression will be the most lasting. A well cared for home that makes a great first impression will maximize sale or lease potential. Here are a few tips that will help prepare your property to overcome even the most critical prospects' objections.
Manicure the yard. This includes edging and trimming, weeding and cultivating the beds, trimming shrubs and making sure all trash and debris are removed. Mulch is a wonderful thing, if you have a bed that needs work, a bag of mulch will help! A few strategically placed flowerpots with a splash of color can make a world of difference! Entryways should be welcoming and free of clutter and debris. A coat of paint for the front door and waxing the entry hall are good starters. Make sure all cobwebs are brushed away from eaves. Don't forget the driveway and sidewalks. Make sure all flooring is shiny and clean throughout. Clean and deodorize all carpets, especially if you have pets. Stretch carpets where needed. The kitchen will make or break most sales, so be sure to take extra time here. Take a long, hard, objective look at yours and make sure it sparkles! Simmering potpourri helps to make your home smell more inviting. Baking bread or cookies works wonders for a homey feel! Next to kitchens, bathrooms are the most important rooms in the house. Make sure they sparkle! Fresh caulking around the tub, shower and vanity is a quick and inexpensive fix. A colorful hand towel or decorative soaps add a fresh look. Make sure the interior is uncluttered. Now is a great time to do that spring-cleaning you've been putting off. Closet space is important, so make sure closets are neat and not overstuffed; people will open the closet doors! Consider it pre-packing to move. Furnishings should be arranged to make each room appear spacious and attractive. To create a more spacious feeling, pack up those knickknacks! Lighting is an often-underestimated selling point. Open the shades and let he sun shine in. If you do not have much natural light, a few strategically placed floor lamps and table lamps will compensate. Make sure all light bulbs are working and turn them on. The garage and storage spaces should also be clean, and if used for storage as free of clutter as possible.

Accepted Contract. Once you have accepted an offer on your home or investment property a new process begins. Your agent will coordinate all things necessary to complete the sale. Your agent is the "coach" if you will.

He or she is directly involved and will keep you informed at all time. Your agent will work directly on the specific issues addressed in the contract and will keep the sale moving forward to closing. There can be many unknowns when working a contract and having an experienced, qualified agent is invaluable.

Make it Happen! Once all issues have been settled and you and the buyer are ready to close; your agent will make sure that all the necessary documentation is in place for a smooth closing. Your agent works directly with the Title Company or Attorney closing the sale and assists in obtaining any additional information or documentation. Your agent will be present during closing to attend to any last minute issues and then to be the first to congratulate you on a successful sale.

After the Sale. We don't go away. Your agent is still available to you. We want to be your Realtor for the next sale, the next purchase; to assist your friends and family. We are accountable and accessible.
