In guiding you through the maze of paperwork and procedures involved in selling a home, I as a Realtor® can provide you with a full complement of services, including: • Gather information about your home – such as square footage, type of heating and cooling systems, proximity to schools and other features – to prepare to list it for sale. • Analyze comparable home sales in the area, then use that information to help you better estimate your property’s value, so it can be priced right to sell. • Design an effective strategy to market your home. Post photos and information about the home on high-volume websites, email open house invitations, place advertisements in local publications and put a traditional for-sale sign in front of the residence. • List your home on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), maximizing its exposure to prospective buyers locally, nationally and internationally. • Bring qualified buyers to preview your home. • Write offers, place the buyer’s deposit in escrow and take care of other necessary paperwork. • Guide you through all aspects of the sales contract and deal with the buyer on any items that may need to be negotiated. • Help to investigate financing, arrange for home inspections and appraisals, and other details that are part of the preparation for closing the deal.
