What To Expect?

What to Expect When Selling my Home?

The Real Estate Agent

Selling a home is for most people the single largest financial transaction in their lifetime. As such it requires the services of a professional Bergen County realtor of the highest caliber.

The realtor & the realtor’s broker is the crucial links to the qualified buyers who can buy your home.

Choosing the right realtor will get you a higher price on your home, & will save you time and aggravations. It is not always the agent who has been in the business the longest who is right for you. It is the realtor with the contacts, marketing savvy, the dedication, energy and, most important the track record of success.

My track record has probably no other comparable precedent in Bergen County. In 10 years I have achieved the highest Platinum Sales Award by the NJMLS for 2004-2008.

I have sold over $200 Million of properties in 2004-2008.

I am using sophisticated target marketing systems tailored to each property based on its location, price, and features. This includes aggressive advertising on the Internet, targeted printed publications such as New York Times, & wide network of national & International contacts.

80% of all buyers search the Internet before even going out of their home!

Your home will showcase on twelve different websites giving it the most comprehensive exposure:

The Listing Price

Price is the single most important influenceable factor in selling your home! The most common and, the biggest mistake many sellers make is inflating the listed price of their home! This results in your home being on the market for a long time as buyers pass it over and over.

Buyers shop by price range, and if the listed price of your house is not carefully determined it will be passed over again and again.

I will provide you with Comparative Market Analysis that I will prepare for you free of charge. I will show you what similar properties sold for, which other competing properties are on the market at the time you will want to sell yours and, what advantages your property has over other competing properties.

Condition Of Your Home

Nobody likes to put money into a home that is to be sold soon. However, it usually pays to make aesthetic improvements that do not cost much but make a big difference in the appearance of your home. These improvements will usually enhance your home’s value which will be reflected in the price a buyer will be willing to pay. I will guide you as to what improvements will be the most cost-effective in the sale.
