You Sign The Listing and Then What?
You sign a Listing Contract, the "For Sale" sign goes up on the lawn,
and then what?
The "For Sale" sign is possibly the best selling tool a
REALTOR® will have when you are trying to sell your home. However, it is
not the only tool, and not the first thing you should think about.
The first thing your REALTOR® will help you with is lots of solid
advice on how to prepare your property so that it will present in
the best possible light to impress Buyers.
Our REALTORS® are experts at assessing the proper sale price
for your property in the market of the day with the tools available to
them. Remember, Buyers are usually checking out the competition
and are quick to know whether a property is priced too high or too low.
When you have set the price and done the necessary clean-up, then the
"For Sale" sign can go on your lawn.
If your Listing Agreement is a Multiple Listing Agreement,
details about your property will soon after become available to other
REALTORS® who have potential Buyers they are working with. Also,
your REALTOR® will notify his or her list of prospective Buyers
shortly after you have listed.
Our REALTORS® will schedule your home for an up-and-coming
REALTOR® Tour which will give all the REALTORS® active in the area
an opportunity to preview your home for their potential Buyers.
Our REALTORS® will field all calls and inquiries from customers and
other REALTORS® and then your REALTOR® will arrange with you
appropriate showing times as required. All potential Buyers
will be escorted by a licensed REALTOR® when viewing inside your home.
When there is a showing of your home, it is best for you and your family
to be elsewhere during that time. Prospective Buyers often find it
difficult to give the house a really good look if the owner is present
and they may not give your home the attention it deserves. Since
strangers will be in your home, although they will be supervised by the
REALTOR®, you should make sure to have secured away your personal
valuables. You can expect our REALTORS® will provide you with a
showing report shortly following the showing.
Any written offers to purchase made for your property will be
presented to you by your REALTOR® and he or she will walk you through
the contract, assist with negotiations and address any of your questions
so that you can feel comfortable that you understand the contract and
your role in it.
Selling a property can be a complex task but, as the Local Experts,
our REALTORS® know all the ins and outs. You can depend on our
Team of Professional REALTORS® when you
decide to sell your home.
