Prepare to Sell

You can do a lot to increase the appeal of your property and to create a lasting impact on potential buyers.

What To Do To Prepare:

The following are a couple of factors to keep in mind when listing your property for sale:

1. Curb Appeal.

Keeping your landscape pristine, and adding creative touches to your yard, such as colorful annuals, will create an immediate impact on passers-by and potential buyers.

2. Property Repairs.

Simple upgrades such as window repairs, polishing the doorknobs, and a fresh coat of paint in the most frequently used rooms will instantly brighten up the property.

3. Cleanliness and Staging.

Keep your property uncluttered, sweet-smelling and well-lit from top-to-bottom. Pay attention to details: put away the kitty litter, place a vase of fresh flowers near the entryway, pop a batch of cinnamon rolls in the oven, have your carpets cleaned. Your agent will scan the property before it is listed for sale to see how you can improve the staging of your property.

4. Disclosures and Inspections.

We are very familiar with the legal procedures involved in disclosures and are ready to help you develop a thorough disclosure statement beneficial to both you and the buyer, as well as suggest home improvement measures before placing your property on the market (such as termite and pest inspections).

5. Showtime.

Presenting your property to potential buyers is a job that we will take care of for you. Buyers feel more comfortable discussing the property with the agent, if you are not there. Moreover, your agent will know what information will be most useful in representing your interests when speaking with prospective buyers.

Chris was awesome to work with. As a first time home seller, I was grateful to have such an experienced and responsive agent to work with. He went above and beyond for us as we aimed to sell our house in the time frame we needed. His marketing for the home was fabulous and open houses were packed. We will be using him again on any future home sales or searches.

The task of selling a home is a long complex process that if entrusted to the wrong person can mean a series of perpetual disasters for you and your family. A knowledgeable, honest and attentive real estate agent can help you avoid the most common pitfalls and disasters. Even when you have done everything in your power to keep things on track there will still be so many bumps in the road; and when this happens, you will see your agent demonstrate his/her true skill and knowhow. Our journey selling our home was fairly smooth, mostly because Chris had so much experience to foresee the pitfalls and help us to avoid them. He walked us through the process step by step and gave us honest feedback so we knew what to expect during the selling process. He demonstrated an incredible amount of patience for all of our “first time” seller questions and provided detailed honest answers, often times late at night when we would call or text him. He provided us his 100% attention 24/7 which is just unheard of nowadays. I don’t think I would have survived the entire process if it weren’t for his frequent contact assuring us things were moving along as planned. We learned so much about the entire process and felt included in all of the decisions along the way. We had to sell our home within a certain time frame in order to get moved into our new home we purchased so our situation was unique and required skill and knowhow. Chris already had a working relationship with the builders of our new home and was able to coordinate things quite well. We faced some bumps in the road because of the buyers of our home and each time something surfaced Chris quite literally came to the rescue to remedy the problem to make it right. Chris communicated our wishes to the buyers of our home and is a very strong negotiator! Even when our house closed escrow and Chris’s job was done he stuck with us to the end to make sure we got into our new home. We are supremely grateful for his due diligence, his sense of urgency for our needs and the compassion he showed our family in one of the biggest moves of our lives. None of us will ever forget this experience; it really was momentous for all the members of our large family. None of it could have been possible without Chris. Do not make the mistake of hiring somebody else to entrust with such an important task. I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed with the level of service Chris can provide; he is the best there is.
