Market Analysis
I analyze and determine home values in the local market every day. As a top real estate expert in this market, I can help you determine exactly what your home is worth in the current market. Then, as an experienced professional, I'll market your home and negotiate on your behalf to sell your home at the best price possible.
Smart Marketing
I will aggressively market your home not just locally, but on a national basis. Through my professional contacts and affiliations, as well as my advanced technological tools, I can instantly put your home listing in all of the places qualified buyers are looking. Within minutes, I can alert every real estate agent in the Northeast GA area, as well as national firms that specialize in helping people relocate to new areas.
Your home should be "Market Ready"
I will come to your home and personally advise you of how to best prepare your home to get the highest price, in the shortest amount of time.
Professional Representation
I will protect your best interests and guide you throughout the entire process. You will be informed and in control, every step of the way. It's my job to make sure your home selling experience is as comfortable and painless as possible!
A good Buyer’s Agent is invaluable to a Buyer, and can be the difference between a wonderful transaction, and a nightmare.
Full Access to the MLS
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a powerful tool that only Realtors have access to. When listing agents market a home for sale, they typically allow any Realtor to present the home to potential buyers, and to present contracts for purchase. The MLS is a database of all homes listed by Realtors, and represents roughly 99% of the homes for sale in any given market. As technology advances, so does the MLS. It has evolved into an extremely powerful search engine that allows your buyer’s agent to enter in search criteria, and returns only homes that match those specific parameters.
Maximize Your Time
While driving neighborhoods is an excellent idea to help you decide which locations you prefer, it’s not a very efficient way to find your new home. Gas is expensive, and your time is valuable. As your Buyer’s Agent, I will listen to your needs, make suggestions based on your likes & dislikes, and provide you with a list of homes that ALL match your wants & needs.
Representation
Listing Agents (the sellers agent) enter into legally binding agreements that require them to ALWAYS act in the best interest of the seller. They are the seller’s “coach” and will make sure that their clients’ best interests are looked after. Luckily, as your Buyer’s Agent, I will be there to make sure YOUR best interests are accounted for. With a Buyer’s Agent in your corner, you can rest assured that you’re on, at least, even ground with the home seller. A football team would be at a pretty significant disadvantage without a coach – just as you would be without a Buyer’s Agent.
Negotiating Power
The MLS maintains a record of, not only all homes listed by Realtors in a given market, but also the sales price of those homes. As your Buyer’s Agent, I will run a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to determine a prospective home’s Fair Market Value (FMV). In simpler terms, as your Realtor, I will look at similar homes in the same neighborhood that have sold recently. This way, you will know whether or not the seller has their home priced fairly. If the home is priced over Fair Market Value, I can present your “under asking price” offer with plenty of firepower – and a greater chance that the offer will be accepted.
Industry Contacts
It takes a lot of people to close a real estate transaction – Buyer’s Agent, Listing Agent, Loan Officer, Inspector, Appraiser, Insurance Agent, General Contractors, and sometimes more! As your agent, I will come with a strong closing team that has performed in the past, and will continue to perform.
