The Plan
Seattle Digs Strategic Home Sale Plan Step #1: Maximize Your Home Value
To secure the best possible sales price, we’ll make your home as attractive as possible to potential buyers. Some improvements will more than pay for themselves — others won’t — so we’ll discuss your options.
- I will provide you with a written Home Enhancement Checklist
- This checklist will include recommendations for mandatory and optional repairs and improvements
- Upon request, I will introduce you to dependable contractors to bid on this work
- I will help you manage the preparation process to whatever extent you need
Step #2: Strategically Price Your Home
Now that your house looks like a million bucks, how can you price it to be competitive in the marketplace? Instead of winging it, low-balling or splitting the neighborhood average, we will come up with a strategic asking price based upon tangible hard data and intangible unique selling points such as view, noise, neighbors and location.
Step #3: Market Your Home I’ll be your megaphone to the Marketplace!
Before your house clicks with someone in person, we need to click with them online. Therefore I will:
- Professionally stage your home to be magazine beautiful
- Professionally photograph your home to highlight its key selling points
- Create a unique property website for your home
- Write and post an attractive Multiple Listing Service (MLS) profile
- Feature your profile on the Windermere Global Network
- Aggressively market your profile on the nation’s top real estate websites
- Network with the top realtors in the area and provide a VIP preview
- Call you weekly to report marketing, showing activity and buyer feedback.
- Adjust our strategy as market conditions — or your situation — changes
Step #4: Negotiate The Deal
It is the Buyer’s Agent’s job to ask for the lowest possible price for your house. It is my job to secure the best possible price. And so the dance begins. When the music stops, both sides need to feel really good about where they stand.
A few factors will influence how we will consider offers and come to agreement with a qualified buyer. I will do the research and provide you with the necessary information to weigh these factors:
