Selling your Property.
First...find that savvy agent!

Your agent will take a tour of your home. Offer suggestions for home improvement items that will help you get top dollar for your property. They will then provide you with a CMA, and help you determine your listing price.

Your agent should provide you with a complete marketing plan specific to your property. Keep in mind that 90% of all homes are sold with an agent involved, and over 80% of all home buyers search the internet. The bulk of any "savvy" marketing plan will focus their budget in these two arenas.

Work with your agent on the marketing plan. The current market in Bellingham, WA requires a great marketing plan! Tell them what you love about your home, why did you buy it?

Your agent will be taking many pictures of your home and yard. Be ready for that!

Be realistic. And be aware that while your home is on the market, you don't live in it quite the same. You try not to leave clothes, dishes, messes scattered about prior to your departure for the day! You have one first impression...maximize it!

Once we have a purchase and sale offer on the table, we will look at the validity of the offer. This is where the negotiation begins.

Once we have an accepted offer, several deadlines start ticking away. It is my job to keep you informed of these deadlines, and protect your interests. When all contingencies such as financing, insurance, inspections have been satisfied we move towards closing.
