From Listing Agreement to Closing Signatures - Take the home buying/selling journey with me!
My Services
Planning
It all begins with an idea. To sell or buy a new home is a big move. “So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on water towards Jesus.” Matthew 14:29-30. Like Peter, moving can feel like a leap of faith into the unknown. It can be daunting if you do not have someone to walk the journey with you. I will ensure we take it one step at a time and move forward only once we ensure we have met or exceeded your expectations and have your best interest at heart at every step of the way. To start, I will partner with you to create a clear plan of what that journey will look like and how we can customize it to meet your needs and wants in order to arrive successfully at the final destination - your ultimate goal of buying your dream home and/or selling your house for the best possible price in the time frame that suits your situation. We will create a clear, realistic plan that feels comfortable to you and one that gives you confidence to set us up for success. I will share and explain the contracts that will be required in advance, so that when the time comes to sign documents you have a clear understanding of what you are signing.
Executing
Once we have a clear plan and we have done all we can do to prepare you for the journey, it will be time to take action. I will advocate for you. I promise to be ethical and kind in my approach, relying on the facts to keenly and kindly, but strongly and effectively negotiate on your behalf. I will be thorough in explaining and executing contracts, and watching time lines, and will keep you abreast of everything going on, at all times without delay. I will consult with you on every decision to be made and together we will ensure that we move forward with your best interests at heart. I will be respectful of confidential information. I will be kind, but clear when working with other agents. I promise to get answers to the questions I do not have answers for. “It's okay to admit what you don't know. It's okay to ask for help. And it's more than okay to listen to the people you lead--in fact it's essential.”
Preparing
How do we prepare? The process will be unique and customized to meet your specific situation, your needs and wants, restrictions, limitations, prospects and opportunities. Do we need to declutter or stage your home? Are there repairs to be made? Small renovation projects to help you maximize your return? I can help. I have an eye for design, experience in staging & organizing. I have a team of contractors who I have vetted and trust, that work closely with me on projects of my own who we can enlist to take care of repairs & renovations for you for a fraction of what you would expect to pay. I can help guide you, with my experience, in making some of the hard decisions about what needs to be taken care of & what is less important to keep you focused and help you move forward efficiently and effectively. If you are buying a home, do you live out of town and need eyes on the ground? I listen attentively and hear the needs of my clients and I can be that for you. Do you need to secure financing or get a pre-approval letter in place? We will answer all of these questions together and take care of these things in advance to ensure we are prepared when we find your dream home.
Closing
Reaching and realizing your goal is the reason for the journey, but it does not end there. I will continue to be a resource for you after closing has taken place. I will help you prepare the home you are selling for the new owners. I will help you understand how to set up utilities and get you acquainted with your new home. I will be there for you in the days, weeks, months and years that follow as a resource and a friend.
“Thank you so much. What a wonderful Agent you have been. Class act.”
