For Home Sellers
Selling your home shouldn't be a stressful ordeal. Making the smart move of choosing a real estate broker is your first step to ensuring that your investment in your home pays off. Our experience and systems allow you to focus on your move while we manage your home sale from our initial consultation to the closing, and beyond. We pride myself on repeat business and hope you'll come to understand why.
If you think you cannot afford to sell your home, cannot pay a real estate commission, and you are facing foreclosure, your home may qualify for a short sale. A short sale is a way to sell your house for less than what you owe on the property, thereby avoiding foreclosure. In this process, the lender forgives the difference you owe after paying the real estate commission and other costs. You will have to complete an application and your lender will have to approve any contract before closing. Contact me to discuss the possibility of selling your house through short sale and how I can guide you through the process. Additional Short Sale Info HERE

Getting the Highest Price for Your Home
Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop and take a flyer, or drive right by. I cannot stress this enough: Staging your home is important! Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it's staged appropriately. Here are a few tips to increase the curb appeal and prepare your home for showing. Feel free to print and use it as a checklist.
- Broker's commission is a full-service fee. We have other discount services available to homeowners who want to sell by owner, but who need the assistance of a real estate agent.
- Closing Costs are negotiated between buyer and seller.
- Local property transfer tax, county transfer tax, state transfer tax, and state capital gains tax are the charges included in the closing costs negotiated between you and the buyer. Credit to or from the buyer of unpaid real estate taxes for the prior or current year are variable and depend on when you close and when your taxes are due.
- FHA fees are now negotiable between an FHA buyer and seller.
- Home inspections fees are usually paid by the buyer and can include pest, radon and other inspections.
- Miscellaneous fees can accrue from correcting problems noticed during the home inspection.
- Home Warranty is a great selling tool that can help your house sell faster and for more more money. A standard home warranty usually runs around $400 and can be paid at the closing table from the seller's proceeds. Many plans also cover the property while the property is listed for sale.
