Honesty & Communication
Consistent communication is of the utmost importance to keep you informed throughout the selling process. Many agents claim to be communicative but as the selling process lengthens, those agents fail to maintain any communication, let alone any ‘non-preferred’ feedback. Michaela proactively communicates all feedback – be it positive OR non-preferred throughout the entire process. Michaela’s goal is to keep her Seller Clients up-to-date and to enable them to make the most informed decisions possible.

Consult, No Commitment
In order to find out more about you and your needs and for you to find out if Michaela is THE Agent for you, schedule an introductory meeting. Typically about 60 minutes in length, this is time well spent in determining if you feel comfortable with and confident in Michaela’s skills and abilities. It also gives Michaela a chance to determine whether or not you are realistic about the sale of your property and what it will take to get it sold.

Comparative Market Analysis
In order to determine the value of your property in the context of the current market, it is necessary for Michaela to compile research into a Comparative Market Analysis that you will review together. By analyzing properties that have sold, are for sale, failed to sell or are currently pending within the immediate neighborhood, you can determine a realistic selling price range for your property. It is especially important that Michaela performs another analysis when bringing the property on the market if that is more than 30 days after your initial meeting.

Multiple Attempts
Having an experienced, strong negotiator will net you the highest possible sales price. In the current Real Estate environment (2008 – 2009), the first offer you receive or accept is not necessarily the one that will make it to closing. A home inspection and financing contingencies must be satisfied in order for the sale to close. Your Listing Agent should see you through each transaction with the utmost of professionalism, patience and advice until your real estate goals are met. The Listing Agent does not get paid until a transaction is complete and closed. Michaela’s goal is to navigate as smooth a transaction as possible, as quickly as possible in order to meet your needs in selling your property once by setting realistic expectations throughout the process.

Fiduciary Responsibilities
Your Listing Agent owes you the same Fiduciary Responsibilities that the Buyer’s Agent owes to the buyer. Make sure that your Listing Agent is aware of all 6 Fiduciary Responsibilities that they owe to you and that they review those with you!

Is NOW a Good Time to Sell?
Schedule an appointment with Michaela to determine if selling your property in the current market is in accordance with your needs. Some property owners are choosing to sell now in order to take advantage of buying now even if they purchased their property in the last few years. Are you one of those sellers? Or are you someone who will stand to net a significant amount of money by selling now? Believe it or not, the 2009 market is VERY active with a lot of strong buyers but there is a distinct SHORTAGE of quality property in all categories (condos, single family and multi family homes). Find out if selling now IS to your advantage – you might be pleasantly surprised by the answer!
