What Happens When I Decide It Is Time to Sell My Home?
Last week we sent out a new listing notice for 207 Niagara Street. We thought it might be interesting for you to have an idea of what gets a listing from “I think I want to sell my home” to Closing day and thought we would use this property as an example!
The first thing you should do is call me! I will research the market, and if COVID allows, walk through your home to establish a competitive listing price for your home. We will talk about your expectations and our 6-Day Plan to sell your home for the best possible price.
We work with YOUR schedule to set up photography, showing schedules and preferred closing dates to name a few. Our team works with you so that you get all of your concerns and questions answered throughout the entire process.We will have questions for you as well as we complete all the paperwork ensuring the process proceeds smoothly.
The Listing is LIVE!
Let’s use the example of 207 Niagara Street. You home gets listed on MLS on Wednesday evening. We also use social media and our client base to spread the word! In this market, as soon as the listing goes up on MLS the showing appointments start booking up as was the case with Niagara Street. We use a booking platform that prevents double booking and each agent has a scheduled timeframe for access to the home, as well as strict COVID protocols to follow so that you and your family as well as those viewing your home are kept as safe as possible.
If for any reason you need to restrict times when the home can be viewed, no problem!! We simply block off those times in the booking system.
Who Went in My Home?
Over the course of 4 available days for viewing, Thursday – Sunday, 207 Niagara Street had over 60 viewings!! The booking system tracks that for us as well!!
We know who saw your home, when they saw it, and get feedback regarding their experience. Using this information we have the ability to email all, some or one of these agents as the process continues. The system issues each agent their own access code to be used for access to your home so you do not need to worry about the lockbox code getting into the wrong hands.
The Offers!
Our proven 6 day plan allows anyone looking for a home similar to yours time to see the listing once live on a Wednesday, view the home before and during weekend, and at times you want to make available to do so. The prospective buyer then has the time to consider the offer they want to make, and submit their offer on Tuesday for us to discuss all of the offers and present them to you, the seller.
Utilizing this plan, the home on Niagara Street had 6 competing offers by our offer presentation time on Tuesday. When looking at offers, we consider price, closing dates and any conditions within each and explain the pros and cons of each. We will advise you, however the final decision is ultimately up to you.
You Have Accepted an Offer, Now What?
Congratulations! Your home has been sold… In the case of 207 Niagara Street it sold for $435,000.00. That is $55,100.00 OVER ASKING price using our 6 day plan!
There are so many little things to tend to now and where to start may seem a bit overwhelming. That is where our team kicks in. Our Closing Coordinator, Leslie Bickle has you covered and will provide you with information to help make sure you have all you need to make this move go as smoothly as possible.
