Seller
The Process for a Successful Sale
Comparative Market Analysis
When you are ready to begin the process of selling your home, you may have an idea of what your home is already worth. You may have seen what other homes in your neighborhood have sold for or kept an eye on local listings. As your agent, we are dedicated to performing in-depth research to evaluate how your home would perform in the local market. The goal is to find the highest, best price that will still make the home competitive on the open market.
Preparing Your Home
Preparing your home for the market is the second most important step, next to pricing. Since every family’s home and situation are different, we dedicate time to walking through the home with you and making recommendations such as repairs, paint, staging, decluttering, etc. with the goal of presenting the home in the most desirable light.
Marketing Strategy
Strategically preparing and pricing your home are fundamentals to attract serious, financially qualified buyers. Equally important is reaching the maximum number of potential buyers with your home’s listing. Here at the Van Herk Team, we are proud to be able to offer our clients the most cutting-edge marketing strategies available in our industry today. From professional photography, videography, virtual home tours to digital marketing, print campaigns, and online syndication through our partners at Zillow and Redfin, our team is driven to capture the attention of qualified buyers and making a great first impression.
Negotiations
Now that our strategy has presented you with serious, qualified buyers, it is now imperative to negotiate and select the best terms for your family. A standard contract includes more terms than just price. It also includes closing and possession dates, the deposit and loan amounts, property condition, and much more. We believe that in the selling process, your agent will be your strongest ally and best resource for solutions.
