We stress the importance of completing any minor repairs; from fixing any minor cracks, paint touch ups, smoke detector upgrades, knobs, landscape's, new doormats, hand towels, fresh bedding and smells. It makes a big impression and often will get you a much better financial return.

Offers

We use a full documented approach and fully vet each offer whether approved by a mortgage professional or if the funds are in a liquid cash account. The journey has just begun once an accepted offer is on the table. 

We are hyper-vigilant on these steps.

Every home negotiation is different. For the last few years we have been in a sellers market. So above asking offers and multiple bid situations have been common.  We have a thorough review system and welcome all bidders. Next, we package them to review each offer to land you in the best position. 

Detail, adaptability and keen intelligence has led to very successful outcomes.

Offer Acceptance

Once we have an accepted offer, together we review the proposed contract to include the necessary components such as deposit amount, down payment, financing, inspection items, allowances, and contingencies.  When both parties have agreed to the terms we then have a final contract elicited with signatures.  I handoff the memo to our the legal professionals with detailed notes specific to the offer. The memo does consist of every participant in the transaction and their specific role. 

We take pride in "quarterbacking every detail" ensuring each party is taking all necessary steps as the offer describes. 

Playing flag football in college with a group of fine athletes "the fairladies, we won the league" our coaches taught us the importance of connection & the constant relationship between the quarterback and running backs were crucial.  So I always think back on this and how to consistently create "a smooth play time and time again".

Steps to closing

You have accepted an offer and are now very close to the end of your selling journey. We move through the appraisals, inspections, buyer tour visits and the final walk through all to bring us to the closing table. Each one of these items is as important as the one before. Again, hyperlocal detail from me and my support team ensure a smooth closing. 

Arrangements to move out of the home must be made so the new buyer can take possession.

main

Close

When you close on a home you are selling, you are legally transferring ownership of the property to the new buyer. Known as "transfer of title". 

Paperwork and the final closing documents will be routing between the buyer and seller representatives days prior.  At this time, the banks are working to fund the loans and the legal entities is itemizing title insurance, wrapping up details on the insurance items and any other deal related items. We stay involved in every movement and work closely with the team. 

Weeks ahead of closing, we provide a reminder utility list to close or transfer so nothing is left unturned.  

Congratulations on the sale of your home! 

Congratulations!
