Q. IN SELLING OUR HOME IN BROOKVILLE, NY, WHAT ARE THE IMPORTANT THINGS WE HAVE TO DISCUSS WITH OUR AGENT?
A. If you're selling your home in Brookville, NY, Oyster Bay, NY or anywhere else for that matter, you need to be aware that there are four things which are critical in selling your property to get a quick sale at top dollars.
1) Pricing the property to ensure the likelihood of getting offers. Many people try to set a high price thinking they can come down later. That's a big mistake because above-market pricing stifles showings and discourages offers of any kind, usually netting the homeowner a lower price than they planned on getting. Proper pricing of your home is critical for quick sale.
2) Marketing the property to attain the highest number of showings from qualified buyers. Check your agent's marketing plan carefully to ensure they have the ability to do more than just place it in MLS and hold a few open houses. It should be on several websites for buyers to see it.
3) Creation and Negotiation of the purchase contract. A good agent's negotiating skills can make or break a purchase contract. Check their experience in these matters. Ask questions about past transactions they handled.
4) Managing the escrow process. During this phase, your agent must be on top of all the escrow functions: scheduling inspections and appraisals, helping with financing if needed, checking all contingencies, and more. Follow up on the progress of each steps.
When interviewing real estate agents, make sure you address each of the four phases of the selling process. Establishing mutual trust and cooperation are crucial between you and your agent.
