Listings

For those who are considering such a plan, here are just a few but not all points to consider:

• Do you really know what your home is worth in today’s market? Will you price your home too high and discourage prospective buyers, or too low and risk losing part of your equity?
• Do you have the information and ability to ask difficult questions about the financial qualifications of the prospective buyer?
• Can you speak to a prospective buyer without placing yourself in a poor bargaining position?
• Are you familiar with all the financing possibilities to guarantee the sale and to be sure you are working with a qualified buyer?
• Are you familiar with all federal, state and local mandated disclosures?
• Do you really have time to handle all the details on your own?

Most people do not realize how tough it is to sell a home by yourself. You can be assured of the best service you deserve from me. Here are a few things you can expect when you choose me as your trusted Real estate agent Elkhart Indiana advisor to market and sell your property:

Free Consultation/Pre-Listing Appointment:

We will schedule a convenient time for us to walk through your home and put a listing plan together. During the walkthrough, we will talk about ways to prepare your home to interest buyers in touring your home. We will also discuss your real estate goals. Most potential buyers begin their home search online so first impressions make a difference in today’s market.

Professional Photography and Video Marketing:

Your property will be marketed professionally. I will never advertise or promote your property with mediocre photos from a cell phone. You will get:

• Professional Photography – High-resolution professional photos formatted for digital marketing.
• Floor Plans – Detailed, to-scale 2D floor plans. Buyers tend to love floor plans. It helps them to visualize the layout of your home.
• Walkthrough Video – My photographer will do an interior walkthrough video with musicgiving buyers the ability to have a quick and clear look at your home. We can easily put these videos on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or any social media platform.
• Customized Listing Website – I will provide you with a link to your very own website with a slideshow of the photos of your home you can share on all your social media platforms.
• Interior Virtual Staging – We can add this feature to vacant home photos so we can digitally furnish your home for buyers to be able to see furniture placement and visualize the living space.
• Aerial photos and videos – These are typically provided for larger properties to give a bird’s-eye view of your property.

Professional Online Marketing:

Your home will be listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) which is a series of connected databases and online property portals where all the major platforms that most buyers use to search for homes such as Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, etc. We will make sure you get the best Real estate agent Elkhart Indiana options their are!

Determining Market Value:

Once I have completed the pre-listing walkthrough of your property, I will provide a detailed assessment of your home’s value based on current market conditions, comparable properties, and your home’s unique features and updates.  This is commonly known as a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) basedon the following market criteria:

• Properties recently sold – We will use the actual purchase price of homes similar to the property you are selling that have sold within the past 12 months. 
• Properties currently on the market (Active Listings) – These are properties that will be competing with your home for the attention of available buyers within your home’s price range.
• Properties currently pending sale – These are properties that have accepted a purchase agreement and are looking forward to closing.
• Properties that were recently on the market but did not sell – Considering why these properties failed to sell can help avoid disappointment when marketing your property.

Here we make sure you get the best Real estate agent Elkhart Indiana options! We will not use the property values you find on some of the real estate websites.  These values are AI generated, and the data integrity is inconsistent and unreliable when determining the current market value of your home.  A true market analysis or appraisal is when a real estate professional takes time to walk through your home and compare your property according to properties of similarities plus improvements you may have made to your home while you lived there.  

Pricing Your Home:

I cannot express how pricing your home correctly impacts a successful sale.  If a list price is beyond the market range for your property, it can adversely affect the marketability of your property.  Pricing your property correctly based on the current market condition and not on emotions will likely achieve a maximum sale price in a reasonable amount of time. 

Showing Your Home:

We will discuss what options best fit your schedule for allowing buyers to view your property.  Whether you want me to plan an Open House or simply stick to scheduling private showings is your choice.  The more open your schedule is for allowing tours, the more potential buyers can view your property resulting in possible multiple offers.

Receiving and Evaluating Offers:

I will help you evaluate any offers that you may receive.  The highest price a buyer offers is not always the best option for the seller.  The terms and conditions of the sale and the buyer’s financing are all factors to consider when considering an offer on your home.  I will always present you with all conditions of offers, consult with you, and negotiate terms and conditions in your best interest.  I will never ask you to settle for less.  I am not the decision maker, you are.  I am your negotiator and counselor.  

Getting Close to Closing:

Depending on the details of the purchase agreement, we may need to navigate through an inspection phase.  I will guide you through the inspection and final stages and manage concluding details to make sure you are completely prepared for closing day.  

Closing Day:

We made it to the final day of closing.  Congratulations!  We are celebrating the next step into your new adventure and memories.

At the end of the day when you need help, we are the Real estate agent Elkhart Indiana opinion you need! Making all dreams come true!
