Sellers

Some homeowners are tempted to try selling their property without the help of a real estate agent (this is called FSBO: For Sale By Owner).

  • Karen has a proven and established marketing strategy which will expose your home to scores of potential buyers.

  • Karen is an expert in the home selling process and as such will advise you of your rights, options and obligations.

As your professional real estate agent, Karen will...

  • Give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace and the price, financing, terms and condition of competing properties. These are key factors in getting your property sold at the best price, quickly and with minimum hassle.

  • Market your property to other real estate agents and to the public. Often, this can include recommending repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the salability of your property. In many markets across the country, over 50% of real estate sales are cooperative sales; that is, a real estate agent other than yours brings in the buyer. Karen will act as the marketing coordinator, disbursing information about your property to other real estate agents through a Multiple Listing Service and other cooperative marketing networks, open houses for agents, etc. As a licensed realtor, Karen’s professional Code of Ethics requires her to utilize these cooperative relationships when they benefit her clients.

  • Will know when, where and how to advertise your property. There is a misconception that advertising sells real estate. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® studies show that 82% of real estate sales are the result of agent contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends, family and personal contacts. When a property is marketed by Karen, you do not have to allow strangers into your home as she will generally prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.

  • Help you objectively evaluate every buyer's proposal without compromising your marketing position. This initial agreement is only the beginning of a process of appraisals, inspections and financing -- a lot of possible pitfalls. Karen can help make sure that you enter into a legally binding, win-win agreement that will be more likely to make it through the process.

  • Help close the sale of your home. Between the initial sales agreement and closing (or completion), questions may arise. The required paperwork alone is overwhelming for most sellers. As a licensed real estate agent, Karen is the best person to objectively help you resolve these issues and move this most important transaction through to completion.
