Selling Your Home-Choosing the Right Agent!

When it comes to selling your home, selecting the right agent will be the biggest decision you have to make. This decision can cost you $THOUSANDS if you make the wrong one. Here is a guideline to follow when interviewing agents.

1. Are you full time agents available around the clock 7 days a week and how long have you been in business? ALWAYS SELECT AN EXPERIENCED AGENT TO SELL YOUR HOME.

2. Is the company you work for the Number One Company in town for sales in your area? THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE LARGEST COMPANIES ATTRACT THE BEST AGENTS AND CAN AFFORD TO SPEND MORE ON ADVERTISING.

3. Does the company you work for have a Corporate Relocation department and which Corporate Clients do they work with? CORPORATE RELOCATION PROVIDES BUYERS READY AND WILLING TO BUY NOW.

4. How far is your office and home from the subject property? DON’T SELECT AN AGENT WHO LIVES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN. YOU WILL NEVER SEE THEM AND THEY ALSO WON’T BE ABLE TO REACT TO SHOWING YOUR HOME AT A MOMENT’S NOTICE. IF THE AGENT LIVES 20 MILES AWAY, DO YOU THINK THEY WILL JUMP WHEN SOMEONE WANTS TO SEE YOUR HOME AT 7PM ON A SATURDAY NIGHT?

5. Do you have a guaranteed marketing plan showing where and when you are going to advertise? Can I cancel the listing if I am not satisfied? THIS PROTECTS

YOU AGAINST MANY OF THE AGENTS OUT THERE WHO JUST PUT A SIGN UP, SPEND NO TIME OR MONEY ON PROMOTING THE HOME AND JUST HOPE AND PRAY THE HOUSE SELLS.

6. How will you contact other agents to let them know my home is for sale? DIRECT MARKETING TO OTHER AGENTS IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

7. What will you do to get the General Public excited about my home? BASICALLY WE NEED TO GET EVERYONE EXCITED ABOUT YOUR HOME.

8. What systems do you have in place to keep me constantly informed about activity and interest in my home? KEEPING IN TOUCH ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH FEEDBACK AND MARKET CONDITIONS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TASKS TO BE COMPLETED BY YOUR AGENT.

9. How many listings do you currently have and what is your average market time for selling them? AN AGENT WITH TOO MANY LISTINGS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SERVICE YOUR HOME PROPERLY AND WILL PALM EVERYTHING OFF ON A BUNCH OF ASSISTANTS.

10. How easy are you to get in touch with? SOME AGENTS HAVE A TEAM OF HOURLY PAID ASSISTANTS AND IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET HOLD OF THE ACTUAL LISTING AGENT, AS AN ASSISTANT ALWAYS ANSERS THE PHONE. MAKE SURE YOUR LISTING AGENT IS AVAILABLE BY CELL PHONE AT ANY TIME.

11. Do you have a full time partner-not an assistant? IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A SINGLE AGENT TO

SERVICE YOUR HOME PROPERY AS THEY MAY BE WORKING WITH BUYERS FOR HALF OF THE TIME.

12. What systems do you have in place in this High Tech World? PERSONAL WEBSITES, EMAIL, EFAX, MOBILE COMPUTING AND SOCIAL NETWORKING ARE ALL ESSENTIALS PLUS FULL HOME AND WORK OFFICE EQUIPMENT. One last point. YOU NEED A REAL ESTATE COMPANY THAT IS STRONG IN YOUR COMMUNITY PLUS AN AGENT OR AGENTS WHO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL TRACK RECORD FOR SELLING HOMES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS COMBINATION WILL PRODUCE THE RESULTS YOU DESIRE.

the first 30 days Send a message to your buyers about

your motivation Net the seller less

It is important to remember that the value of your home is ultimately not set by you, but rather by the amount of money a buyer is willing to pay for it at any given time.

BENEFITS

When showing your property, you only get one chance to make a good impression. Here are some suggestions to increase the desirability of your property to potential buyers, and help you sell at the best price, in the least amount of time. Curb Appeal Is Essential - A buyer’s first impression is formed by viewing the outside of your property.

Trim plants and trees, weed your front back and side yards, use leaf blowers to remove leaves, pods, plant debris. Inspect the exterior of your property, including shutters and windows. Steel or aluminum siding should be clean. If the house needs painting, buyers will notice, and may consider it a major objection to purchasing your property.

Pay close attention to the front door –� it should sparkle. Polish the doorknob, clean the glass and replace worn screens.

Neatness Counts –� A sparkling clean home greatly enhances its appeal to buyers. Scrub each room from top to bottom covering every nook and cranny. The entryway, kitchen and bathrooms are key areas, and should be given special attention. Shampoo the carpeting if it hasn’t been done recently. If your carpet is old or matted it will be a detriment to selling the property. Consider replacing it or removing it if there is hardwood underneath.

Eliminate Clutter –� Closets, cupboards and other storage areas should be neat and uncluttered. Box everything you do not use regularly and donate it, sell it, throw it away or store it. Look at each room in the house with “less is best” as your objective. Remove unneeded furniture to make each room appear more spacious. Kitchen counter-tops should be clear of everything except what you use daily.

If it’s Broken, Fix it –� Repairs such as loose door knob, broken dishwasher, dripping faucet and squeaky or sticking doors all detract from a property’s value. An afternoon spent making needed repairs now can eliminate buyers’ objections later. Hire a professional, if needed.

Small Additions Make a Big Impression –� With minimal expense, you can improve the appearance of any room. Consider replacing worn area rugs and throw pillows. New towels can freshen a tired kitchen or bath. Flowers add warmth and charm to any location. Identify the things you can do to make areas more pleasing to a buyer.

It’s a Team Effort –� Enlist the help of all household members to get the house ready –� and keep it ready –� for prospective buyers. A few minutes spent tidying up each morning can make the difference for a showing in the afternoon!

Moving ChecklistPLANNING IS THE KEY! Send Change of Address to:

Post Office with forwarding address Charge Accounts / Credit Cards Subscriptions Friends and Relatives

Notify: Bank – transfer funds, arrange for check cashing in new city. Carry Travelers’ Checks for ready cash Insurance – Notify your insurance provider Utility Companies – gas, light, water, telephone. Make arrangements in new town. If you are moving before the final closing on your new home is completed, you need to leave utilities on.

During the cold season, winterize the plumbing. Delivery People – cancel newspaper, landscaper, laundry, etc. Make arrangements with cable television service.

Miscellaneous Checklist: Automobile registrations – Remember to transfer car title, registration, driver’s license and auto club membership. Medical records – Arrange for medical and dental records to be transferred. Ask your physician for a referral. Employment Recommendations – Have teenagers obtain written recommendations from their current employers. Empty freezer and defrost. Have appliances serviced for moving. Plan for special care needs of infants. Carry currency, jewelry and documents yourself. Leave old keys and garage door openers with your real estate agent. Transfer school transcripts.

TIPS FOR KIDSWhen you move, provide the children with photographs of their new home and school. Once they know what to expect and begin to visualize themselves in their new surroundings, they become much happier and more cooperative.

Give each child his or her own “packing labels” for marking personal possessions. Provide them with floor plans of their new bedrooms so they can participate in furniture placement.

Give children small address books for noting names and addresses of friends they leave behind. They can look forward to filling the remainder of the book with names of the new friends they make after moving.
