Sign an exclusive agreement as your Listing Broker. Listing agent will prepare all paperwork for proper documentation of the listing and explain the agreement to you, the seller, in detail. This document enumerates our commitment to market your property to qualified buyers, sets compensation seller will pay at the completion of sale, discuss seller’s responsibility while your property is in the market.

 

Prepare a thorough comparative marketing analysis of the neighborhood. While preparing for the agreement, listing agent will also provide seller with a thorough marketing analysis of the neighborhood, to help seller determine an appropriate listing price for the home.

 

Prepare your home. We will then help you prepare your home for showing. We will give you advise what to do to show your home’s full potential. Creating a great first impression is as important as pricing your home competitively.

 

Advertise the listed property. We will take photographs of your home and list it in the MLS (MRIS.com), A2SUSA.com, Homesdatabase.com, Realtor.com, Trulia, Craigslist, Google, Yahoo, MSN, Zillow. We also do print advertising by doing paper ads, mailers, signs and brochures.

Post an attractive "For Sale" sign in your front yard. We will also send out information to your neighborhood and to our mailing list to inform them of the new listing.

Show home to prospective buyers. We show your home to our prospective buyers.

 

Provide property information book on the home. In addition to providing you with property brochures, we will put together a property book which will include information about your home in general: your subdivision (if available), recent upgrades, utilities, school system, photos of your home, etc. This is an important source of information since sellers are mostly not around during showing.

 

Organize open house. Depending on your wishes, we can do an open house typically on a Sunday afternoon. We will also teach you how to do it in case we are not available or you want to schedule one during weekdays or any other days. We will provide all materials needed.

 

Get feedback from agents who have shown your home. The best way to learn how your home compares with the competition is by requesting feedback from agents who had shown your home. We request this information every time we have a showing. We will share any feedback with you. This is a valuable tool in staying competitive in today’s market.

 

Prepare and negotiate all offers and counter offers. When an offer is presented, we will discuss all the terms of the offer and guide you with the best option to take. We will help you make the right decision: to accept, reject or to counteroffer. Once all terms of the offer is accepted by all parties, there are still a number of negotiations involved, especially with the home inspection. We will help you sort through the important things to be done. We have contractors available to provide estimates critical in making informed decision.

 

Arrange all appointments for appraisal and inspections. Once you have a ratified contract, your home is no longer available for showing. We will coordinate with you all appointments for appraisal and home inspection.

 

Supervise the closing and title process. We want to make sure that the sale goes through. We will work closely with the title company so there will be no surprises when we go to closing.

 

Oversee every process throughout the sale. Just prior to closing, there are still a number of things to check: the buyers will conduct a final walkthrough --- we will make sure that all negotiated repairs are done and everything is in order so we can close as scheduled. We also need to review the final settlement statement for accuracy. Last but not the least, we will attend the closing with you.
