Seller’s Free Services

Preparing your home for sale:

It is important that your home is presented in its most favorable light when it is placed on the market.  It’s like putting on a clean shirt or ironing your blouse when you get ready to go to a party!

We spend as much time as necessary advising you on how to prepare your home – and how a little effort here and there will accentuate your home’s best features.  Often, this means simply moving a little furniture or placing valuable family heirlooms in storage.  Sometimes, however, it means adding a little paint or spit-and-polish to make your home sparkle.

Regardless, this will result in a much shorter time on the market, which means a higher sales price!

We offer this consultation free - regardless of whether you decide to sell your home or not.

Property Reports:

We believe that it is important to provide the Buyer with as clear a picture as possible of the condition of the home they are buying.

For that reason, we provide a professional pest report at no cost to the Seller with every listing.

In addition, we furnish an Environmental Hazards Report including a property tax disclosure and a guide to Earthquake Safety with every home we sell.  This includes matters that affect not only the subject property, but the surrounding area as well.

Again, this is furnished at no cost.

Please contact us for program restrictions.

Marketing your home:

Too often, people place their homes on the market and expect the home to sell itself.  This is a mistake!

We make sure that people know about your home and the opportunity it provides for the lucky Buyer – often before the home even goes on the market!

You see, the best way to sell your home is by exposing it to as many people as possible in the shortest period of time.

Ask about our personalized website devoted only to your home and how we distribute a professionally-produced “electronic brochure” not just locally, but across the country!  We take the visitor on a “guided tour” and highlight your home’s many features and amenities right in their own home!

This is only a small part of our total marketing plan – but it is a very important one.

Please contact us for a short description of how we will market your particular home.

Representation – Before, During, and After the Sale:

With all of the issues facing Sellers today, it is easy to forget some of the important things.

That is why we provide a Master Checklist describing the issues most important to your potential Buyer.  This not only builds their confidence in choosing your home, but it will keep you out of possible trouble down the road.

We provide several legal forms designed to provide all necessary information concerning your home as soon as we place the home on the market, then update it with any new information along the way.

That way, the Buyer is presented with this information at the time the offer is accepted, eliminating any unnecessary delays in closing the transaction – and delivering your money to you!

At the end of the transaction, we provide a full accounting and explanation of every charge or fee.  You can rest assured that you will receive every penny due to you at the close of escrow.

Finally, we believe in addressing any issues as they arise – even after the closing.  Just because the home is sold doesn’t mean we are finished with our responsibility.

We make a commitment to all of our clients to offer full representation as long as is necessary.

Please allow us to provide a personally tailored marketing plan, delivered directly to you in the convenience of your home!  Contact us for an appointment.
