The Six Elements to Selling your Property

Here are six critical elements of every sale. Each of these elements incorporates many factors, and any of them
can have a dramatic effect on the time that your home stays on the market, and its ultimate selling price.

l Determing the List Price & Commission
I will complete a Comparable Market Analysis and help you set the appropriate sales price for your home
according to current market value. You, the seller, however, ultimately set the list price and the commission.

l Property Location
Buyers consider how close your home is to schools, shopping and services, amenities, the beach, etc.. They
reward homes in well-kept neighborhoods and penalize homes on busy streets, etc.

l Property Condition
Buyers consider the structural and mechanical integrity of your home as well as the cosmetic appeal. Before
listing your home, we need to make sure your property is in move-in condition.

l Market Conditions
Market conditions are factors that impact buyers that are beyond our control, like mortgage interest rates,
consumer confidence, weather, the economy, natural disasters, elections, current sales and price trends.

l Contract Terms
Inspection dates, mortgage approval contingencies, seller's disclosures, closing dates and exclusions of fixtures
are just a few terms of the contract that should be handled up front, in order to avoid any confusion later.

l Marketing
My marketing expertise will help you achieve a quicker sale and a higher price than you may otherwise receive.
