A broker can help you in
the following important ways:
Set the correct
price.
This is far more important than many people realize. If
the price is set too high, during the initial frenzy of buyer
activity it will be avoided by qualified buyers of homes in the
correct range. Eventually it will then be lowered in
price and may end up being purchased for less than true value by
bargain-seekers. A simple rule of thumb operates
here: the longer a home is on the market, the less likely
it is to receive a high offer.
Even though a broker will receive a commission from the seller,
in most cases the seller actually ends up with more in pocket,
because the broker makes the sale at a higher price.
Prepare marketing materials and a plan.
We
have the materials, tools, and knowledge to produce professional
and attractive flyers and brochures, which we distribute
to other brokers, buyer prospects as well as a large network of
referral companies and top producing agents.
Screen
buyers.
When buyers
come into our office, a Realtor will spend time with them to
find out what they are financially qualified to buy. Discuss
their individual needs in detail. This can save a lot of
time.
Place your home on the internet for all to see.
These days most buyers are very internet savvy, so they look
first on the internet and compare prices. We take
numerous photos of our client's
properties and post them on this website, as well as in 3 MLS
systems online. We can also create a "visual tour"
of your property. Ask about the details when you call or email
us.
Guide you through the maze of
paperwork.
Real estate transactions require more and
more paperwork. In New York State, for instance, sellers
are asked to fill out a property disclosure form. By not doing
so you could face a $ 500
penalty at the time of closing.
Give you
tips on how to get your home into showing condition.
There are simple things you can do
to help sell your home more quickly. Some of them are common
sense, yet many sellers overlook them. Agents
