✅ Why Work with a Top Marketing Agent

Partnering with a licensed agent means:

• Local market insight & access

• Free property valuation & pricing strategy

• Expert handling of offers, negotiations & legalities

🗓️ Step 1: Choose an Agent + Receive a Free Valuation

Schedule a home visit to:

• Assess your property’s current value based on recent local sales

• Discuss your timeline, objectives, and pricing strategy

• Outline professional marketing and promotion plan

🏡 Step 2: Prepare Your Property for Sale

Personal Prep Tips:

1. Boost curb appeal – power wash, lawn care, a fresh front door

2. Declutter & depersonalize – let buyers envision their own space

3. Upgrade lighting & fixtures – brighten and modernize interiors

Tactical Prep:
4. Fresh coat of neutral paint
5. Minor renovations – update hardware, faucets, or flooring
6. Professional staging of key rooms
7. Fix deferred repairs – leaks, cracks, squeaks
8. Showcase outdoor living spaces – stage patios, decks, hot tubs

📸 Step 3: Professional Marketing Launch

Once listing agreement is signed you’ll receive full-service promotion:

• MLS® listing + professional photography (including drone shots)

• Video tours, open houses, and social media promotion

• Targeted Facebook and Google Ads crafted to reach ideal buyers

• Availability coordination for showings

💼 Step 4: Receive & Evaluate Offers

When offers come in, I’ll:

• Present all offers and guide your decision (accept/counter/reject)

• Negotiate terms like price, closing date, conditions, and inclusion of furnishings

• Manage buyer conditions such as financing, inspection, and disclosure

📝 Step 5: Finalize the Sale

On completion day:

• A lawyer or notary transfers title and registers sale

• Outstanding mortgage, taxes, and fees are settled

• You receive net proceeds, and hand over the keys

📊 Bonus Tips

• Expect commission costs to range up to 5% from other providers.  With us, we will negotiate a fee from 1 – 1.5% to us and same to the buyers agent.   Also account for legal fees ($1,600–$2,500), property taxes, and possible capital gains tax — consult a professional
