SELLER SERVICES -  TIPS & RECOMMENDATIONS

1.  Attract-Ability:   Think of seeing your home with fresh eyes- as if you have just returned from a three-week vacation. Then you may be more likely to view as a potential buyer’s does. Think Allure. Think Curb Appeal. Think Staging- for over the years we have discovered that those homes that have been freshly staged sell faster.

Let us help you make it happen with a walk-through consultation. We have the experts to “fine tune” your property for charm and standout Attract-Ability

2.      Perspective: Think First-Hand. Request an onsite CMA – a comparative market analysis  from a local real estate professional that can help market your property.

 TESTIMONIALS & KIND WORDS  

~ "I am in the middle of my second transaction with janeAnne as my Broker. Without qualification, I will say she is the best REALTOR® I've ever worked with as well as one of the most intuitive people I've ever encountered.   In late 2004, after an email exchange, janeAnne pretty much "knew" what I was looking for, assured me we'd find it,  initiated and directed the search, which we did over several days, covering a large area on the map, and then helped me identify, negotiate for a piece of land in a community which is perfect. 

Now, some  years later, I am about to  close on yet another  property she told me long ago I would be looking for!   She's honest, diligent, smart, patient, funny, knowledgeable, and pleasant to drive around with in a car. I highly recommend janeAnne Broker-in-Charge at The ECO-Steward Real Estate Firm. " ~ Don Silver  ~

~ “Thanks for always remembering us from the start, when we first met, all the way through to years to  later when you listed and SOLD the home we bought from you….” P.R.   

~I was "wowed", blown away by what a top-quality product you put together for our parent's home .Thank you so much for this superb presentation/product....Game On!"    Robby  ~ "Thank you for all you are doing...this seems like an unending marathon with no finish line discernible!!!! You are the only bright spot on the horizon:) " S.S. 

~ "You're the best pet friendly broker I know! ... Thank you for the extra time you have spent to make us feel comfortable during our planning period. If you go this far out of your way to help us in the planning phase of our move, what must your service be like once we are actively engaged in the move itself...." A.S.

~Your "New Approach"  to connecting us as sellers with buyers made us realize that even in a tough market, we might have a better chance to be seen. B.P. 

  ~ Bill and I  want to thank you for all of your efforts in selling our home in Fairview Forest. From our first talk with you at our kitchen table, we felt reassured that your attention to detail and that little "something extra" that is uniquely JaneAnne would bring us success. 

Being strangers "from back East", we were so glad you were able to knowledgeably explain the competitiveness of the market here in Western North Carolina and why our home would need to make it to the First Page of Google to be seen and have good exposure. You said you planned to use a combination of good-old-fashioned techniques plus what you called the “proven power of technology” to reach more potential buyers and generally get the word out about our home. 

It was a good conversation about what we now call "The Plan"- especially when it came to the time-frame for selling and realistic expectations in terms of the Listing Price.  You taught us new terms like comparative market analysis or CMA and offered us an idea of what a realistic asking price should be, how long our house might be on the market, and what improvements (including professional staging) we might budget for.   Thank you for all your exceptional work and “Selling Tips”. We especially liked the information cards you placed around the house for the showings. They really did point out the features of our home for buyer’s and their agents when they came. I was amazed that we sold so quickly and I am sure it was thanks to you.   

We also want you to know that we appreciate your exceptional work ethic and warm personal style - Not only did you make the process trouble free but we learned so much along the way.      

Thanks
 Bill and Sue Russo
