For Sellers Did you know that according to the National Association of Realtors, almost half of home buyers frequently use the internet in their home search; in 2003 11% actually found their home on the internet. The internet is now the number two method behind a Realtor that buyers find out that a home is available. Newspaper advertisements are down the list at number six. It makes real economic sense in terms of time on the market and getting the most exposure ($ in your pocket) to work with a REALTOR® that knows how to use today's technology to your advantage.

As an example my listings show up on an upgraded Realtor.com site that allows me to enhance the appeal of your property by adding additional photo's over the typical property shown and allows the buyer to contact me directly so I can be more effective in the sale of your home. Only about 10% of the Realtors offer this service.  I have undergone extensive training and education in the latest internet and technology tools. I have an established track record of providing market analysis for homeowners throughout the neighborhood, and am intimately familiar with the current market conditions and the right asking price for your home. I am committed to unparalleled customer service & attention.

I use email and the internet extensively to keep in touch with you before, during and after the sale of your home. My services and experience allow you to focus on your move while I manage your home sale from our initial consultation to the closing deal and beyond. I pride myself on repeat business and hope you'll come to understand why.

As Your Agent:

I will complete a comparative market analysis that will compare your home's value to that of your neighbors. Compile a comprehensive plan detailing all the efforts I will employ to sell your home, including Internet and local media. Present your home to as many qualified buyers as possible getting your home maximum exposure. Help you stage your home and generate curb appeal to ensure you get the highest price. Assist with obtaining offers and help you in negotiating the best deal as smoothly as possible. Help you find your next home and answer all of your questions about the local market area, including schools, neighborhoods, the local economy, and more. 

Getting the Highest Price for Your Home: Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop and take a flyer, or drive right by. Here are a few tips to increase the curb appeal of your home. Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it's staged appropriately. I have compiled some ideas to present your home in the most effective manner.

Closing Costs to Expect: Title insurance fees depend on the sales price of the home. Broker's commission is a full-service fee and will cost anywhere between 5% to 7%. Local property transfer tax, country transfer tax, state transfer tax, and state capital gains tax are the charges that you'll pay for the privilege of selling your home. Credit to the buyer of unpaid real estate taxes for the prior or current year are variable and depend on when you close and when your taxes are due. Home inspections fees are normally paid by the buyer and include pest, radon and other inspections. Miscellaneous seller fees can accrue from correcting problems noticed during the home inspection.
