THE SALES PROCESS

Showing Appointments

One of the most important aspects of selling your home is allowing

potential buyers to view it. As simple a task as this may seem, there

are many things a skilled agent can do to ensure a buyer has the

best possible experience in your home. We are experts at staging a

showing that will present your home in the most positive light.

Skillful Negotiation

When offers are presented, we will advise and help you obtain the

best possible price and terms. Understanding the various contract

forms and vast array of contractual issues is key to negotiating the

best terms to meet your individual needs.

Transaction Management

In addition to the marketing, staging and pricing of the home, there

are many more details that go into the transaction before the sale

becomes final. At Ewing Sotheby’s International Realty, we pride

ourselves on operating a full-service real estate brokerage.
