Give you our interpretation of the current market for homes like yours, near yours, and in your home’s price range.

Property evaluation

One service that we believe is extremely important is helping our listing clients to objectively evaluate their homes for marketability. Some brokerages do a once–over to get the information to put into the various information fields in the MLS®, however, we go much more into the detail of the features, characteristics and condition of your home. We will want to postpone some photos until we’ve worked with you to do a thorough inspection of your home with a whole lot of details in mind. Every buyer who sees your home will be comparing it to the competition in your area and price range. How your home compares is critical to how soon you sell it and at what price.

Proper list pricing

A proper list price that reflects current and realistic market conditions is critical to getting your real estate property sold quickly. We don’t want you to under–price, but it’s worse to over–price in any market. A realistic list price is how we make sure your property sells without languishing on the market.

Market updates

Markets are constantly changing, and it’s our job to monitor these changes and keep our listing clients informed. Changes in the competition don’t always require a price adjustment, but they may. Sometimes they just cause us to make changes in our marketing approach, putting emphasis on features that are no longer available in currently listed comps.

Price negotiations

All buyers want to pay as little as possible for the home they purchase. Buyers in slower markets are definitely looking to score a bargain. Our job is to combine services to our sellers that include marketing to improve the competitive position of their homes, and then to assist them in countering low offers and buyer resistance to fair pricing.

Inspections and repair negotiations

Property inspections can frequently result in buyer requirements for corrections by the seller. Whether you’re prepared for these or they come as a surprise, we’re here to help you to deal with them, as repair disputes are the most frequent reason for contract failures before closing.

Contract to closing

Our seller clients really appreciate our services in listing, marketing, and getting a buyer signed on the dotted line on a purchase contract. However, neither they nor we can rest just because an agreement is inked. There are more than 50 tasks and deadline deliveries on our regular residential seller-side real estate transaction checklist. We take our responsibilities seriously in the processing of all documents and meeting all deadlines.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dean is reliable and trustworthy. He managed my property thoughtfully when I was out of the town. His tenant placement service helped me find the tenant efficiently. A higher rent in the market brought me the tenant with more guarantee. Our long-term collaboration is established from here.
