Time to SELL?
Spring is just around the corner, and it is a great time to sell! It is still a strong seller's market. Marketing and selling a property is a complex process. We are experienced in this process that begins with a listing agreement and ends with the seller moving on.

• It’s All in the Details: Pricing, staging and marketing are the first steps in successfully selling your property, but closing the deal requires in-depth knowledge and experience. Once you’ve accepted an offer, a lot of details remain before you get to the closing table.

• Strategic Negotiation: Offers on your home may be complicated. Price is not the only consideration. We will help you understand and evaluate offers and work hard to get you the best terms possible. Understanding contingencies will help you close the transaction.

• Navigating Due Diligence: In many cases, the most critical elements of a home sale occur after you and the buyer have reached an agreement. This phase of the transaction may include home inspections, objections, resolution deadlines, mortgage lender appraisals, title searches, surveys and more. We will help you understand the process and keep the transaction on track. We will be here to help you navigate the critical steps once you are under contract so that you can close with confidence and on time.

• Moving On: Whatever your post-closing plans are, we will be here to help you. Whether you need a local replacement property or need a referral of a well-qualified realtor in another location, we are networked throughout the country and can make sure you make the connections you need.
