Monthly

  • Personally Meet & Discuss Complete Snapshot of Current Real Estate Picture

      Month One  ~  When the home is first put on the market there will probably be an initial season of people looking at the house.  These lookers will include serious, educated buyers ready to make an offer.   Our goal is to have your home properly presented and properly priced so we will receive a good offer quickly.  In an effort to achieve that fast sale, Sharon will call anyone expressing any interest in your home for feedback.   During the feedback conversations Sharon will counter objections and learn the perception of the house from current buyers.   If we do not have an accepted agreement, my  growing knowledge of your house helps us develop our marketing strategy for month two. 

        Month Two ~  Each house is unique.  Sellers have different timetables and other goals.  The real estate market varies.   By the end of month one we know exactly the Buyer we are targeting and our advertising and marketing efforts are geared toward reaching that target market.

        Month Three ~ If we do not have an acceptable offer by the end of month two, you and I will  sit down together and plan our strategy for month three.  We will re-enter the market in some method and target all our energies to any problem area not yet addressed.  

        Month Four ~   At the end of the third month the listing expires.  If we do not have an offer by this time we know enough about your house to re-list, get a new listing number, and sell quickly.
