PREPARING YOUR PROPERTY FOR SALE
A very important task in preparing your property for sale is gathering pertinent information for disclosure to prospective buyers. Professional inspection reports are your best vehicle for disclosing much of this information. A properly informed buyer is much more likely to complete the escrow without problems and delays which can be costly to you.

When it comes to fixing up your property before selling, a little work can go a long way. A house that shows well is more likely to sell quickly. Before you begin remodeling, be aware that while some improvements are clearly cost effective, others are not. We know the differences and will be happy to discuss them with you. That's part of our excellent service!

PRICING YOUR HOME
Some people may have difficulty selling properties because they choose a Realtor who promised them the price they wanted rather than the Realtor who gave them solid, reliable information regarding the current market. Overpricing can be a very costly mistake, both in time and in net return. Part of our excellent service is to provide our clients with the most up-to-date information regarding market conditions. A correctly priced home sells fast for top dollar… an overpriced home sells later for less. Pricing involves statistical analysis, market awareness and intuition (not necessarily in that order). Every home is unique. You need an experienced Realtor who "knows the territory" to assess your home's true value. Contact us or call 800-900-6058 for a free market evaluation.
