How I Can Help Sellers…
Resist the temptation of quick cash offers. Use an experienced agent to help you sell your home.
Here’s why:
-
An active real estate agent has access to extensive data to evaluate recent area sales of similar properties and to understand current market values and trends, all critical to consider in settling on a selling price.
-
I look at real estate in the Austin area daily. I have ongoing interaction with real estate professionals that enables me to get the word out, and also to learn of properties coming on the market ahead of a formal listing. Particularly in times of short housing supply, many properties get sold “off market” before the homebuying public is even aware of them.
-
To maximize your sale price, thorough property preparation to sell makes tons of sense. An agent can work with you in organizing, cleaning, furniture placement and maximizing curb appeal. Additionally the importance of good photographs cannot be overstated. I have wonderful photographers that can capture the home at its best including aerial photos, video and virtual tours when it makes sense.
-
A good agent will advise you on what paperwork to pull together, or inspections to perform, to best inform and inspire a potential buyer to proceed to offer confidently.
-
Partner with someone who will coordinate and conduct showings for you, plan and hold Open House hours, and help spread the word digitally and otherwise (social, real estate networking, virtual flyers etc).
-
Utilizing a representative or liaison for buyer party discussions is more comfortable; it allows you to negotiate more firmly than you might if you were dealing directly with the buyer or buyer’s agent on your own.
-
In the state of TX, an agent can only represent YOU, the seller (vs representing both buyer & seller as in other states). Agents in TX receive regular ethics training to reinforce their fiduciary responsibility to serve their clients’ best interests. I take this responsibility seriously.
