Structuring the Offering
We will advise our clients on the most advantageous way to offer their home for sale, reflecting varying terms and conditions of sale. This "structuring" may include a conventional sales approach or other creative methods of sale.

Maximum Market Exposure
Our client's home shall be fully exposed to the largest number of potential buyers possible. Marketing channels shall include internet advertising, local Realtors, regional and national brokerage and relocation contacts.

Preparing the Home
We will advise our clients on how to prepare their home for showing in the most positive manner. We will not gloss over glaring physical defects and will make recommendations as to how they may be corrected.

We advise our clients weekly on buyer activity and interest, local market conditions and other factors that may affect the sale of their property. We will update the Market Value Analysis if warranted by market activity changes.

Qualified Listings
We recognize that only a "qualified listing" provides our clients the basis for the most comprehensive and effective marketing plan possible. This can be defined as a home listed with the following:
  • Complete and accurate details
  • Motivated clients
  • Competitively priced by a market analysis
  • Competitively structured
  • A term sufficient to market the home

Over-Priced Homes
We will advise our clients that we cannot properly represent nor professionally service listings that are overpriced, as we must be able to substantiate and defend our client's "BEST PRICE."

The Marketing and Closing Process
We will explain to our clients every step in the marketing and closing process, including the amount of "earnest money" that should be secured as a deposit and what contingencies may be considered unreasonable.
