SELLERS:

The Greenville area is growing at a dramatic rate.  It seems that there are new communities “popping up” almost overnight.  This new construction combined with the tightening of mortgage requirements make it a challenging time for selling homes.

What does this mean to you?  It means that the decision you make as to who you choose to help you sell your home is critical; far more important than ever before!  It is a competitive market out there with fewer, pickier and more informed buyers than ever.  You can look at the statistics… many homes aren’t selling.  But many are…make sure yours is in the latter group.

With years of experience and a proven track record, it is our job to guide you through this complicated process, from beginning to end.  We want you to get the maximum value for your home, within YOUR time frame.  Following are just some of the things that we will do to market and sell your home: 

- Buyers want to buy your home for as little as possible!  Through detailed comparisons between your home and recently sold homes, and other properties currently on the market, together we can determine what your home is really worth in today's market.  In the industry this is called a Comparative Market Analysis or CMA.  We will do this for you, for free. 

- Buyers have their own timelines, which might not be yours!  We make sure they don't waste your time by qualifying them as to their real ability to afford your home. 

- More buyers interested in your home means more money in your pocket when it is sold.  Our marketing of your home assures you of maximum value.  For example, this web site will market your property all across the web.  It will also appear on the Greenville area MLS and Realtor.com. 

- When we begin marketing your home, we will immediately notify all the buyers that we are helping find their ideal home.  We'll also notify REALTORS® in the area that we work with, who quickly tell their homebuyers.  It is a powerful way to jump-start the sale of your home! 

- We will advise you how to present your property to maximize its selling price.  Some improvements are worth it, and some are not!  Be careful. 

- Contracts are complicated, and intimidating.  You don't want to go to a closing with some doubts.  You will have the full benefit of our real estate experience and knowledge for a smooth and successful closing.  We recommend that you do not sign on any dotted lines without asking us first. 

- You pay no up front costs for our services!  So you can bet that we will work hard to get your home sold, for as much as this market will possibly bear.  We will also work within your time frame and your needs.  For example, sometimes it can be hard to sell and move out of your current home, and buy and move into a new home, all at the same time!  We can help smooth this out.
