First impressions are key when selling, so it is of the utmost importance to put in the time to make sure your home is in top condition. Fresh paint, clean closets, flowers; there is a lot you can do to make even the humblest of homes look like a million bucks.

BEFORE WE LIST
PREPWORK
PRICE
Pricing a home is hands-down the most important aspect in getting the highest return in the least amount of time. Many considerations go into setting the price, including the condition and location of your home, recent nearby sales, and similar homes that are currently for sale. These will all factor into the Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) I will put together for you to determine the optimal sale price for your home.
MARKETING
I will develop a plan unique to your home optimized to market to the most likely potential buyers using a variety of tools, such as digital marketing, advertising, direct mail, and open houses.
WINDERMERE READY CREATES THE PERFECT FIRST IMPRESSION
Small upfront investments have the potential to yeild a significantly bigger payoff when you sell your home. The Windermere Ready program can provide concierge level service plus a loan up to $100,000 to prepare your home for selling. With Windermere Ready, you can make upgrades like painting, landscaping, cleaning, repairs, and staging. I will work with you to determine which improvements will have the biggest impact at market. You can choose your own service providers, or I can connect you with experienced local contractors. And best of all, you pay nothing until your home sells.
ONCE YOUR HOUSE IS LISTED
SHOWINGS
While they can be inconvenient, home showings are a necessary part of selling. When your home is on the market it has the potential to be shown at any time, so it is important to maintain a certain level of cleanliness. During home showings, I recommend stepping out to give potential buyers privacy while viewing your home.
OFFERS
When a buyer is interested in purchasing your home, their real estate agent will draw up an offer that I will present to you. In addition to any legal requirements, the offer specifies things such as the price, earnest money, closing terms, contingencies, and other conditions of the purchase.
NEGOTIATION
One of my most important roles is to be an advocate for you. This includes negotiating on your behalf for things such as the price, repair costs, timelines, and contingencies in order to get the best terms for you.
NEED TO BUY BEFORE YOUR HOME SELLS? I CAN HELP YOU
Take advantage of upfront funding using the equity from your current home so that you can make a non-contingent offer on a new one. Windermere's exclusive bridge loan program gives you a stronger negotiating position and eases the pressure of having to sell before you buy.
The approval process takes only a few days and the fee is just one percent of the loan amount. No payments are necessary on the loan before your home closes unless you choose to make a payment. The principal and interest are due when the home closes, or six months following disbursement, whichever comes first.
The Windermere Bridge Loan. It's fast. It's easy. And it's at my fingertips, ready to help you get into your new home.
UNDER CONTRACT
P&S AGREEMENT
This is the legal contract a buyer and seller enter into once the buyer(s) offer has been accepted by the seller(s). It outlines the terms and conditions of the sale and is signed by both parties.
INSPECTION
Once the Purchase and Sale Agreement is signed by the buyer(s) and the seller(s), a home inspector is hired to examine the home's health, safety, and major mechanical systems. If any issues arise from an inspection, the buyer may be able to renegotiate their offer.
ESCROW
Once the offer is accepted and a closing date is agreed upon, escrow allows the buyer(s) and the seller(s) to have an outside party ensure all parts of the contract are complete.
CLOSING
At closing, all the paperwork is signed by the buyer(s) and the seller(s), both parties pay any settlement fees, and the documents are officially recorded. Prior to closing, you will receive a settlement statement outlining any fees that may apply to you.
