Why do I need an agent in a market this strong?

 
 

The market is so hot, and there’s nothing for buyers to choose from, so why does a seller need to pay an agent?

  • The market is highly localized and requires constant analysis of data you don't have access to. You can see what the house next door sold for, but we can tell you how old the systems were and whether there were problems with the layout.

  • The sales contract is full of gray area and room for interpretation. We know how to structure the terms for maximum enforceability.

  • Our commission is offset by the value we bring and our ability to negotiate the contract terms you want.

  • Sellers often want to rent back from the new owners, which is very risky. We know how to protect you from risk when becoming your buyer's tenant.

  • We have a proven system to control the sales process and navigate the pitfalls between contract and closing. Do you have time to check in with the buyer's lender regularly to monitor the loan progress? Do you know how to convince an appraiser of your value to avoid a low appraisal?

  • Do you have an understanding of what repairs you are obligated to make? Negotiating repair requests after the home inspection can get even more heated than the original contract negotiations.

  • If you sell without an agent's input, you may underprice your home, leaving money on the table.

  • Or you may overprice it, racking up valuable days on market, causing a buyer to question "what's wrong?"

  • Without taking the listing live on MLS the buyer pool is stunted and you'll never know if you could have gotten more.

  • We can use our relationships with lenders and attorneys to get answers faster to keep the closing on track.

  • We have long standing relationships with trusted repair vendors who will show up on time for us and charge you reasonably.

  • We have a legal department and an in-house attorney who can advise you free of charge if the transaction hits a road-blocks.

  • Our expert negotiation skills produce creative, cooperative solutions.

  • We are the level-headed middle women who keep emotions in check to prevent clashing personalities from threatening the deal.
