All properties are unique. No two properties -- even two identical models on the same street -- are precisely and exactly alike. Homes differ and so do contract terms, financing options, inspection requirements and closing costs. Also, no two transactions are alike.

Today real estate transactions involve a lot of details from forms, financing, inspections, marketing, pricing and negotiating. It makes sense to work with a well informed, professional and helpful agent.

Home selling has become a more complex business than it used to be. New seller disclosure statements, longer and more detailed agreements, and a range of environmental concerns have all emerged in the past decade. The result is that while many existing homes are sold each week, the process is not as easy for sellers as it was five or 10 years ago. Surviving in today's real estate world requires expertise and training in such fields as real estate marketing, financing, closing, etc.. Call me to get the process started, and I'll navigate you through the maze of uncertainty. You can also read my free report 33 Ways to Sell Your Home Faster!

How much should you sell your home for?
Every reasonable owner wants the best possible price and terms for his or her home. Several factors, including market conditions and interest rates, will determine how much you can get for your home. The idea is to get the maximum price and the best terms during the window of time when your home is being marketed. Price it too high, however, and it will sit on the market unsold. The Portland area has a high inventory of homes for sale today. Let me do a Comparative Market Analysis for you, for free, and with no obligation. Also known as a CMA, this analysis compares your home to others that are currently on the market and to those that have recently sold.

Marketing
Homes are unique, the marketplace is always in flux, interest rates constantly change and new buyers search for homes each day. With such fluidity, it requires a skilled real estate agent to craft marketing plans specifically for individual homes and market conditions.

Selling can entail a variety of marketing strategies. Once listed with me your home will quickly be entered into the local MLS (Multiple Listing Service), advertising in local publications, web placement, flyers, showing your property to potential buyers, open houses, broker property tour, plus networking with other local brokers.

Much of a broker's work is quiet and unseen -- yet paramount to the sale of your home. The numerous telephone calls, the work with contacts, the follow-ups with open-house visitors, conversations with ad respondents, the web postings, flyers, and other outreach efforts are all part of the process required to sell your home.

And the best tool of all for getting your home sold...is me! I love what I do and I'm passionate about it! I believe in customer service and relentlessly strive to provide the best in the industry. You deserve it, and I expect you to expect it!
