9. Why We Use Professional Photographs

10. Can a Picture Say A Thousand
Words? We Think so!
Where do most buyers find their home
at? Online. Today the internet is filled
with different sites advertising and
marketing homes for sale all over the
country. Whether the home is listed
on a website or listed with an agent,
there is one common factor –
PICTURES! This is your chance for a
great first impression. You cannot sell
your home if you cannot get the buyer
to walk in the front door. Pictures are
how you are going to get the buyers
flocking to look at your house. You
only get one chance so be sure your
home is photo ready for its close up!
“Call our real estate agent to set up a time to see
this one. It is perfect.”

11. Sales Contracts
Contract, Negotiations, and Inspections
Since your home was market ready when you listed it, YOU
NOW HAVE A CONTRACT!!! The sales contract can be very
confusing so do not be afraid to ask questions. How you
respond or counter on this contract will determine how
much money you can put in your pocket.

12. Now Is The Time To Bring In The Professionals
YOUR AGENT.
Have no fear, your agent is here! This is where your agent earns his or her keep. Our
experience, knowledge and expertise in negotiation will allow us to advise you and
negotiate for you so you can keep more money in your pocket. There are many
techniques and knowing the laws when negotiating are very important. Let us show
you how we can negotiate to sell your home for more of its value!

13. Don’t worry though because you
have already had a pre-inspection
so you know how the inspection will
go. 70% of sales contracts fall
through due to items found on a
home inspection – Not Yours!
Once you have a completed and
ratified contract, the buyer has 10
days to conduct inspections of his or
her choosing. The most common
are a home inspection, HVAC
inspection and a termite inspection
often referred to as a CL-100.

14. Closing Time
Appraisal, Final Underwriting, Title Request
It’s everyone’s favorite time,
CLOSING TIME!

15. The hard work is done! Your home
was ready to be listed, we received a
contract, negotiated and then
finalized. We’re not done yet. The
home will still have to be appraised to
ensure the sales price is within market
values and the title will be pulled to
ensure it is clear for the next buyer.
Everything else is just a waiting game
for the buyer’s final loan approval.
Closing typically occurs at an
attorney’s office and you will walk
away feeling very accomplished!
It’s Closing Time

it will be worth it
