I perform a detailed market analysis to help determine the right price based on local market conditions, recent sales, and property features.

An appraisal is conducted by the buyer’s lender to confirm the home’s value. If the appraisal comes in lower than the offer price, we may need to negotiate with the buyer or adjust the price.

Simple steps like decluttering, staging, and addressing minor repairs can make your home more attractive to buyers. I’ll provide a checklist based on what matters most in today’s market.

A title company verifies ownership, ensures there are no unresolved claims or liens on your property, and provides title insurance to protect the buyer. They coordinate with all parties to facilitate a smooth closing and handle tasks such as recording documents and managing funds.

Seller closing costs typically include title fees, prorated property taxes, and your agent’s compensation. I’ll give you an estimate of these expenses to help you plan.

We’ll outline a clear compensation structure upfront, covering my services, which include professional photography, marketing, and document coordination.

While not required, a pre-listing inspection (general or specific) can help you address issues that may impact negotiations. I can arrange pre-inspections for items like pools, fireplaces, or septic systems if you prefer.

Owner’s title insurance protects the buyer’s ownership rights against title issues. Offering it can reassure buyers and streamline the closing process, as many buyers consider it a valuable safety net.

A survey shows the property’s boundaries, structures, and any easements. Providing a recent survey can help potential buyers feel confident about the property’s exact boundaries and may speed up the closing process if required by the lender.

Once we receive an offer, I’ll review the terms with you and discuss options for negotiating. We’ll address any contingencies, finalize paperwork, and guide you through acceptance or counteroffers.
