There for You Before, During and After the Sale

USING A listing agent to help sell your house in the greater pittsburgh, pa area

According to the National Association of Realtors, 89% of sellers sold their homes with the assistance of a real estate agent. However, some homeowners elect to sell their own homes usually in an effort to save on commission costs.  The startling truth, according to the National Association of Realtors, is that homes sold by the homeowner typically result in a lower sales price. So while you may be saving on commission are you truly benefiting. When thinking about selling your own home consider the time and energy it takes to effectively market a home, schedule tours, and qualify buyers. 

My goal as a Real Estate Agent,  serving the Greater Pittsburgh, Pa area is to provide the assistance you need to get your home sold quickly and for the best price. As your real estate agent, I will take the time to ensure that buyer tours are scheduled around your schedule, that your home is being shown to qualified buyers and that your property is effectively marketed to get the right eyes on your home. 

As your trusted Real Estate Professional serving the Greater Pittsburgh, Pa area my goal is to be there for you before, during, and after the sale.

Knowing how much your home is worth will also help you determine how much you will net from the sell of your home. To calculate the value of your home, we will review houses that have comparable features and are similar in size currently on the market, and ones that have recently sold in your market area.

The HomeSelling process

Putting your home on the market for sale just got easier!

As you are packing up and moving, I’ll be working on the backend with the buyers’ agent, and the title company to ensure you have a successful closing.

my step by step process to help you sell your home

During our first meeting, we will review your timeline for selling your home. We will discuss your potential asking price and recent sales in the area. 

In preparation for getting your home on the market, we will review the current condition of your home, repairs made during your time of ownership, and upgrades you have made to the property. 

We will walk through the property and discuss any potential repairs. We will address items such as the removal of personal items, de-cluttering, and any changes that can be made to the home to get it show-ready. We will take a look at comparable properties in the area that have sold recently, are currently on the market, and expired listings. Then we will determine a competitive list price for your property. 

Finally, if you decide to list your home with me, we will review and complete the necessary paperwork to start the process of getting your home on the market.

Once we have a signed listing agreement, we will have photos taken, and/or video made of your home. Once the photos and/or video are taken we will get your listing uploaded to the MLS and start marketing your property to potential buyers.

Throughout the listing process, you will updates on your listing and the real estate market in the surrounding area. I will request and provide feedback from showings as it comes in.  

Potential Buyers and Buyers’ Agents, will contact me to arrange property showing. Potential buyers and their agents will be expected to follow safety protocols to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. 

The potential buyer will work with their agent to write up an offer that will detail the amount of their offer, any additional negotiable items, requested inspections, potential closing date, and the amount of the earnest money deposit. 

Once the offer is received, the negotiations begin. We will review the offer and you will have the option to accept or submit a counteroffer to the buyer.

If you reject the buyer’s offer, we will continue to market your property, making any updates to our marketing tactics along the way, until a new potential buyer is located.

Once you accept the buyer’s offer, the buyer will turn over their earnest money deposit to their broker. The buyer will complete their inspections and we will review and respond to any inquiries regarding the inspector’s findings.

You will be expected to remove all your personal items from the property. The buyer will complete a final walkthrough of the property prior to the closing. The property is expected to be free of debris and broom swept.
