How We Will Work With You to Sell Your Home
We will determine the correct price range for your home, point out things you should do to make your home more appealing to buyers, and devise the most effective plan of action. Here are some of the steps we will take with you to sell your home:

• Go over the selling process, without the technical jargon.
• Perform a comparative market analysis.
• Determine the list and target prices.
• Help you Stage your property using your furnishings, saving you money.
• Market your property utilizing print advertising, extensive internet marketing, Talking House Radio and Integrated Marketing.
• Keep communication open.  We send you a Marketing Service Report every 2 weeks that lets you know where your home has been marketed, number of viewers on the internet and open house activity.
• Present the purchase agreement. Negotiate terms, price and closing to your advantage.

Factors That Affect Your Home's Sale
There are three main factors that determine how marketable your home is--price, financing, and time.

• Price- If your home is priced too high, you must be willing to wait much longer for your home to sell. Either it will take that much longer to find someone to pay more than the home is worth, or the market will eventually catch up to the asking price of the home through inflation.
• Time - If your time frame is important then you must be willing to lower the price.

The Big Question:  How Much Should You Ask for Your Home?  

Of course you want to get the full market value for your home. The first step to getting the best price is to determine the home's value. We will help you set an asking price by taking the following factors into consideration:

• Your home's value may depend on recent selling prices of comparable homes in your area. After reviewing the selling prices for such homes, the price is adjusted according to current market trends.
• Buyers most likely look in the price range determined by their monthly payment ability and down payment. Buyers are often very knowledgeable in their price range and purchase by comparison. Unreasonable asking prices are an immediate turn-off.
• Inviting a potential buyer to make an offer shows that you are willing to bargain. But if your asking price is outrageous, the buyer's offer will most likely also be unreasonable.
• It's necessary to offer pricing, terms and conditions that are competitive in your market. This will help you sell faster and get the full market value.
