If I don't agree with the price you want to sell it for, I may not list your home under this program. I will provide you more exposure than is required to sell your home. This program is designed for sellers that truly want or need to sell their home and will price the property according to what today's market dictates. Price is the key to selling your home. Regardless who you choose to list with, your home is going to sell for what a buyer feels it is worth, what the market value will provide, and what the appraiser tells the bank that it is worth. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It my sole intent when meeting with sellers is to list the home to sell. If you have questions or would simply like to interview me please call. I am sure we can clear up any issues or concerns over the phone. I do not need to see the home to provide a market price range as to what the property should sell for. I simply need to know the facts about the property. Things like were the home is located, the condition it is in the square footage and so on will be required to proceed. Once I have gathered the information I need I can search comparable home sales to determine a price range for your home. This will be done prior to meeting. However, if you need or want to sell your home for more than comparable homes in your area have sold for, I will simply let you know that I can not help you. This IS NOT the program for you if - You are listing your home only to have it on the market. You planning on listing your home for far more than it is worth. You are listing your home only because you must have it listed to settle a legal dispute. You are only going to allow for showings on certain times and days of the week. You are expecting marketing on your home that does not really sell Real Estate. You believe that your home value was effected by the recent decline in value. You are basing your list price only by current listings in your area. You are basing the value on the accessed value. You believe open houses sell homes. You do not really want to sell. This IS the program for you if - You really truly want to sell your home. You understand that you need to price your home correctly to sell. You understand that the four keys to successfully selling a home in today's market is price, condition, location and MLS. You agree to never to use the phrase "I don't want to give my home away". You understand that when comparing your home to others you need to use sold listings as well current listings to find a list price. You agree to reduce the price on your home 5K every 30 days until sold. You agree not to price your property because you need "X" amount of dollars out of the home to buy another one. You understand that I am offering you this very low commission only to lessen the pain of losing money on your property. You understand that open houses are not a tool to sell a home but rather a tool for agents to pick up buyers. You understand that I will only take on sellers and listing that will sell!
