Prior to implementing any marketing strategies, it is critical to go through a process of discovery — determine the fair market value, survey the current market conditions, and review the factors that will help us prepare your home for sale.

Selling luxury homes requires a different level of expertise, strategy, and exceptional marketing to target the right buyers, which is the key to maximizing the true value of your home.

01

MAXIMIZING FAIR
MARKET VALUE


Typically, market conditions are not in your control, but choosing to use an agent with extensive experience in the local market, a respected reputation, and who implements a proven, comprehensive marketing strategy could make all the difference in maximizing the true value of your home.

These key factors affect the sale of your home and are, for the most part, in your control:

MARKET FACTORS: CONTROLLED BY:
Price Seller
Terms Seller
Condition Seller
Marketing Programs Realtor®/Brokerage
Value Buyer/Market Conditions

02

MARKETING
YOUR LOCATION


According to real estate convention, the three most important criteria to consider when buying a property are

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

In fact, buyers are often attracted to a general location, a neighborhood, or even a certain street well before settling on a specific home.

Understanding your location’s positives and negatives is important when determining the price and in marketing your home. Misconceptions, preconceptions, and knowing the nuances of your home can make a significant difference in how a home is marketed, when it’s shown, and how it is positioned – one person’s displeasure can be another’s delight!

MY COMMITMENT
TO YOU

When helping you look for a property, I will make recommendations based on my experience and local knowledge, in addition to having access to a variety of technology, a wide network of area agents, and homes not yet on the market. A comparison chart and thorough, objective inspection of each home, combined with such factors as market data and resale potential, will help in narrowing your search. By building a checklist, we can better evaluate each home and review together the important criteria of homes visited.

And when you find that perfect home, I will help negotiate the best offer based on the condition of the home, length of time it’s been on the market, activity, location, and urgency of the seller. Ultimately, I will protect and represent your best interests.

I promise to treat you with respect and compassion, to listen to you and your situation so that I customize the experience to you. I promise to always keep your best interests in the forefront of my mind and to apply my passion for this industry to see you succeed with your goals.
