I start every client meeting by asking what questions they have. I love being able to relieve their stress. If you ever have a question, please do not hesitate to ask.
These are the top 5.
1: How much will this cost?
As a buyer, you don't pay me. I'm paid by the listing agent of the home you purchase. Sellers are receiving the money so both agents are paid by them at closing.
When I sell your home, I'm paid 6% of the sale at closing. I give the buyer's agent half so we each get 3%. It's in my best financial interest to sell your home for the highest price possible.
2: How long will it take to sell?
It varies based on the price and marketing. If you need to sell it quickly, we list it a little lower. If you are not in a hurry, we list it at fair value and market it to find the right buyer.
I will market it to my 50.000 contacts and social media followers, run ads at my cost, and host open houses to get you the best price.
3: What do I have to repair?
You don't have to repair anything., but I will tell you if there are any repairs that would seriously affect the price.
Normally we leave everything as it is because new owners often make repairs or remodel to match their personal taste.
You will need to put away personal items so it is easier for the people looking at the house to imagine themselves living there.
4: How much can I get for my house?
I offer free home value estimates and tell you the price that will bring the most qualified buyers by hitting the highest number of searches. Based on your specific needs, I will advise what I feel is best. Then I will list it at the price you choose because it is your house and your money.
5: How can we make sure I don't end up homeless?
When we receive an offer on your home, I will put a condition on the sale that the buyers can not take possession until two weeks after you close on your new home.
Then I always ask my favorite question:
What do you believe your home is worth?
I have never had a seller guess anywhere near the price we actually received for their home.
One of my favorite clients hoped they could get $200,000 for their home and we closed for over $400,000.
It is so rewarding to help people.
Call me anytime you have questions.
Thank you,
