SELLER's Center
I remember what it was like to be a First-Time Home Seller. Don’t worry, I’m not going to bore you with my story, but here’s what a Seller should expect in their real estate transaction. I have put these items in the order they typically occur. Remember that every transaction is unique and you may have to address these issues in a different order. I’ve prepared this guide in an effort to relieve you of the many stresses I felt when I sold my first home. Some of my recent clients helped me edit the guide. I think we have come up with a helpful tool. You can one - FREE - below.
First you need to find a Real Estate Consultant that you trust. This is one of the most important aspects of the transaction. If you have a pre-existing relationship with an agent or you have a friend, family member or co-worker who can refer you to a reputable agent, listen to what they have to say. It is important to do this before you start looking for homes. In most cases, the agent who sells your home will help you find a new home. If you are moving out of the area, I have an excellent referral network. I only refer agents who hold themselves to the same standard of customer service that I do, so you can rest assured you are receiving the highest level of service.
The Ideal Real Estate Professional...

Don’t be afraid to interview several agents for the job of finding you a new home. Remember, they are working for you. Your relationship should be one of mutual respect and trust. It’s easy to develop a life-long friendship when you have that kind of relationship with your agent.
Once you have selected your Real Estate Consultant, sit down with him and figure out what your needs and wants are. This will help you and I complete the transaction to your absolute approval.
Before you put your home on the market, you should make sure we are presenting it in a condition that will bring you top dollar. Check out my free reports on How to Get Top Dollar in Any Market and Preparing Your Home for Sale. See these and other Free Reports at the bottom of this page.
It is essential to know what the market value is for your home. We can usually give you a general idea, based on neighborhood sales, but don't let anyone give you an exact pri ce over the phone. I have to see your home and compare it to recent sales in the area before I can give you my exact opinion. You’ll find I have earned my reputation for consistently bringing my seller’s the highest dollar we can get in their home sale.
