I love to talk about what I have to offer my clients. I am proud to be considered ad Realtor and proud to help 
my clients on a daily basis, even on Holidays and Weekends.
Here is a list of things that I do for my clients that contribute to getting a SOLD sign in the yard. Someone call Guiness as this may very well be the longest BLOG in History.
What is Needed to List a Property:
- Research information-Neighborhood and Area Statistics, Days on Market, Recent Sold Properties, What are buyers looking for
- Prepare All Paperwork-Listing Agreements, Disclosures, other Addenda
- Help to Stage the home-or hire a stager if needed
- Take Photos-Photos are a must on the internet
- Install signs and lock boxes
- Enter All Information to MLS- Including photos, descriptions that sell, PDF files of all Disclosures and papers that buyers and agents will want to see PRIOR to making an offer
- Enter information on multiple websites
- Make copies of paperwork for my clients
- Set up for showings-Showing instructions will be a necessity for showings
What is Needed to Service a Listing: 
- Assist in showings
- Submit Listings for Advertisement
- Make Brochures and flyers
- Create Postcards-Mailing Just Listed postcards to areas with potential buyers
- Call Past Clients and Sphere-and agents that I know may know someone in the price range
- Email area agents-who might have buyers in the price range
- Conduct Realtor Tour-Offer lunch to bring a crowd
- Show Property to Buyers
- Resolve Problems and Challenges-There may be other information we need prior to selling the property
- Contact Lenders-Certain listings qualify for certain mortgages that open the home up to more buyers
- Answer Ad Calls-from potential buyers
- Answer Sign Calls-from potential buyers
- Answer Emails-from interested buyers

- Call Sellers Weekly-Communication on what is happening is VERY important
- Call for Feedback on Showings
- Pre-Qualify Buyers-It is important to know if their loan is legitimate
What is Needed when we receive an Offer and Executed Contract:
- Negotiate Offers-and try not to scare away buyers and negotiate the best and highest sales price for your property
- Research Information-Yes, this comes up a lot
- Resolve Problems and Challenges-this come up a lot too
- Complete Necessary Paperwork-and make sure that all contracts and addenda are filled out properly
- Open Title- which includes getting the paperwork and copies to all parties (lender, title company, buyer, seller, brokers)
- Meet with Appraisers
- Meet with Inspectors
- Review and Negotiate Repairs
- Review and Negotiate Appraised Value if needed
- Review Title Commitment
- Contact Lenders to make sure everything is going as needed
- Contact title company to make sure everything is going as needed
- Attend Closing
Any one of these steps has possible pitfalls that all parties need to be aware of. It takes a true Professional to understand what it takes to take a contract from beginning to end with out falling out of contract or having unsatisfied clients.
It takes a true Professional to take the time each transaction needs to make it successful.
It takes a true Professional to make our clients Dream A Reality!
