FREE Professional Photography  Attractive, Consistent Marketing and Home Preparation are the keys to selling your home quickly and getting the highest price. It's my job to assure that you get as many qualified buyers into your home as possible, allowing you to extract the highest price the market will bear.
One of the most important elements of marketing your home effectively is setting the price right. If you set the price too high and keep it priced high, prospective buyers will stop noticing your home, irregardless of it's condition. If you set your price too low, you cheat yourself by not getting your home's full, fair value. By consistently looking at homes in Fremont, Phinney Ridge,Magnolia, Queen Anne, Ballard, Wallingford and Green Lake north to Edmonds, then Kingston to Bainbridge Island, I am able to compare and contrast neighborhoods, styles of homes, natural light levels, traffic patterns and neighborhood amenities. I work closely with my local partners and you to assure that everything possible is done to get the highest price, in the time frame you require.
Seller Home Tour: Once we decide to work together, our first appointment will will involve viewing homes comparable to yours in order to come up with a pricing strategy that you are comfortable with.
The condition and appearance of your home are critical factors in getting the best price for your home. I'll personally walk through your home, and other homes on the market, with you in order to advise you of what you can do to properly stage your home most effectively, keeping in mind your budget. Some areas of improvement are much more important and more likely to pay off than others! Some of these lower cost/high marketing impact improvements are listed below within the link: Staging your home checklist. Often, buyers are motivated by emotional responses as much or more than financial issues. There are usually things I can point out to you that are easy and inexpensive, yet go a long way toward triggering those "buy" emotions.
As your agent, I'll negotiate furiously on your behalf throughout the entire process to ensure that your best interests are protected. Real estate negotiations are more aggressive nowadays,with low offers coming in, a drastically different market from a few years ago when sellers could pick and choose between multiple offers, and buyers felt fortunate to get a house in their price range. As an astute, detail-oriented real estate professional, getting you the best terms and prices throughout the negotiation process, is one of the favorite aspects of my job.
My Team Approach: When marketing homes, I like to work with a listing coordinator and partner agents who can follow up with potential buyers and answer the phone when I cannot.
