Negotiating the Offer

• Reviewing the contract and obligations before you sign.
• Explaining how contingencies and release clauses work.
• Protecting you from signing a "blank check" for unknown problems or repairs.
• Defining legal disclosure requirements.
• Orchestrate the offer process for "back-up" offers, if necessary.

Throughout the negotiation, your Sales Associate will provide you with a professional, objective point of view; but the final decision of accepting an offer is yours.

After the Offer is Accepted

Once an offer is accepted, your Sales Associate will manage all the details to make the process as stress-free and efficient as possible:

• Staying in contact with the buyer's agent to ensure a smooth escrow.
• Following up on the progress of the buyer's loan.
• Monitoring all contingency removal deadlines.
• Assisting you if a conflict with the buyer arises.

Finalizing and Closing the Transaction

In order to sell your home quickly and on with the best possible terms, it's necessary to prepare your home for the market. This process includes:

• Deciding when to put your home on the market.
• Establishing a strategic price based on recent comparable sales, local market conditions and your motivation to sell.
• Estimating probable net proceeds.
• Advising you on how to make your home more appealing to potential buyers.

Marketing Your Property

• Ordering a "FOR SALE" sign to be placed prominently on your property.
• Installing a lock box to make it easy for agents to show your home.
• Submitting your home to the regional Multiple Listing Service for immediate exposure to the real estate community.
• Arranging Sales Associates in the area to tour the home.
• Developing a flyer/brochure highlighting the features and benefits of your home.
• Promoting your home at the appropriate Association(s) of Realtors' for maximum exposure to other cooperating agents.
• Holding open houses when appropriate.
• Contacting your neighbors to promote the property.
• Advertising your property on our regular office schedule meetings.
• Featuring your property on our web site and REALTOR.com.
• Asking clients and colleagues if they know of possible buyers.

Do you want to sell your home quickly?   We can help!  We have helped many property owners just like you sell their property fast!

Features of the Quck-Sale-Express Program:

1. We represent many active buyers searching for property at affordable price and purchasers looking for properties to fix up and repair.
2. Sellers must be able to sell and move fast! Many homes are purchased immediately so you avoid the inevitable delays and costs of marketing, advertising and needed home improvements.
3. Purchases close quickly! Often in a matter of days if the seller and buyer are both motivated.
4. If necessary, we will work with your lender to re-negotiate your mortgage in efforts to stop a foreclosure while your home is being negotiated for sale.
5. We can also work with your lender to sell your home for less than the mortgage balance owed if you are “upside-down” in your mortgage. We will work with your mortgage company to acquire approval of “short-sales” where the mortgage company settles for a smaller payoff. This enables you to price your home competitively for a Quick-Sale!

We developed the Quick-Sale-Express Program in efforts to assist some of our traditional clients that were facing difficulties in successfully selling their home given the existing decline in property values, inventory of available properties, and mortgage balances that are greater than expected sales prices.

To date, we have assisted many families work through their challenges successfully.  We’d be more than happy to provide a client reference list.
