Steps to List and Sell Your Home
Selecting your Agent/Broker
Bigger is not always better!
All Real Estate agents are independent contractors (unless they own the company as we do) for the company that you see advertised.
These agents run their own small businesses much like barbers and cosmetologists who rent chairs in a shop. These agents pay a fee or part of their commission to be associated with that company like RE/MAX, Keller Williams, Coldwell Banker, and all of the rest big and small.
The internet has leveled the playing field for Real Estate marketing. ALL companies and agents have the same Internet Marketing through IDX (Internet Data Exchange). The Internet includes websites and social media.
Everyone has heard the 3 most important things in Real Estate are Location, Location, and Location.
Now the 3 best places to advertise Real Estate are Internet, Internet and Internet. There are still other methods of advertisement for Real Estate like mail, phone calls, billboards, car signs, yard signs, email, and business cards. The effective use of all of these drives traffic to the companies website or social media.
The fact that most Real Estate Agents run their own small businesses and they all have access to the SAME Internet Marketing means that you need to select the AGENT, not the company! Jim and Judy are the right agents for you because they have over 30 years of experience each and they will help you every step of the way themselves! If you interview a “Team” to sell your home, you may never see the agent that made the listing presentation again!
Our Online Listing Presentation:
We provide you with market analysis information to help you arrive at a fair market price for your home. Be careful not to overprice it!
Your home will be entered into the First Multiple Listing Service (FMLS), the Georgia Multiple Listing Service (GAMLS), and the International MLS. That listing is syndicated to over 30,000 websites like Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Homes.com, Hot Pads, agents, brokers, and teams.
Try this to see the power of Internet Marketing. Go to Realtor.com and find any home listed in your area. Now put that address in a Google search and look at the result. You will see that home listed on all other companies and agent websites
We make sure that we not only describe the great features of your home but will also include a presentation of the wonderful amenities and features of The Traditions of Braselton.
The professional pictures of your home are entered at the same time as the initial data entry because we have in-house professional photography.
Many agents wait for a 3rd party photographer to take the pictures leaving your listing on the Internet without pictures for several days. Most people do not look at homes with no pictures on the Internet sites. Some agents even use their cell phones to take pictures. Those are easy to spot because they are dark and the walls are not parallel giving an unprofessional appearance.
We install the MLS Supra lockbox which records the showing agent’s name, number, license number, company, and the date and time of the showing. Never let an agent use a combo lockbox! It is not secure and unsafe!
A unique website will be created for your listing like www.1234DreamStreet.com. This site just points to your listing.
Our yard sign will have a rider on top of it with the domain name of your home plus a QR code to make it easy for someone driving by to access it.
We will update you and the showings and the buyer’s feedback.
When an offer comes in, we make sure that it is complete. We will NOT waste your time presenting an offer that is not in writing, has a copy of the earnest money check, and proof that they can buy it with either a lender approval letter or proof of funds from a cash buyer.
We help you negotiate the offer until we reach a price, closing date, and move out/in the date that you and the buyer agree on.
We change the status in both MLS services to pending due diligence. This is a period of time that you and the buyer have agreed to allow the buyer to inspect the house where they will usually ask for repairs. We are there for you to help you negotiate any repairs or other allowance that you may want to do for them.
Once we are done with negotiating the contract and due diligence we get with both parties and schedule the closing at a place and time that is convenient to all parties. The closing attorney works for the lender if there is a loan and will pick the attorney. The closing attorney is usually chosen by the party paying the closing costs in a cash transaction.
We keep you updated on the closing progress on items like the loan progression, title search, appraisal, and the issuance of title insurance.
The Closing Documents (CD) have to be provided to the buyer three business days ahead of the closing of a conforming loan, so we have time to help you review it to make sure that it is correct.
We will attend closing with you to make sure that all goes well.
Please call us for an appointment.
