Want to Sell Your Home in
Northern Virginia or Washington, D.C.?
Summary:
Selling your home can be as easy as a walk in the park, or as complicated as brain surgery. A lot depends on your particular situation and the reasonableness of your expectations. Although you are free to sell your home without a real estate professional, you may find that hiring a qualified Realtor® like me is your best option.
Detail:
For most people, selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions they will ever make. It can also be a big emotional decision as well. The process can be daunting, with many important questions to be answered. That's why choosing the best Realtor® to market and sell your home makes all the difference, turning an otherwise difficult, stressful process into a comfortable, informed experience where you are in control.
Last year I was selected as one of The Ten Most Dependable™ Real Estate Professionals in the Washington, D.C. Area. My average annual sales is over $10 million. My clients have been extremely satisfied with my services. Since 2003 my listings have been both in northern Virginia (Arlington, city of Alexandria, and Fairfax County) and Washington, D.C. (Northwest & Northeast). (Take a look at my current listings.) In short, wherever you want to sell a home or condo in northern Virginia or Washington, D.C., I can help you.
There are a number of steps to selling any house, but experience has taught me that every home and its sale have unique characteristics. The following pages are not designed to be an exhaustive guide to selling your home. They are designed to give you an overview of the process, key concepts, and how I will serve you as my client.
Step 1: Get the Ball Rolling
The first thing we'll do is meet to review your goals, timetable, the process, and my services and fees to you. I would also be glad to help you buy your next home, in which case using the same agent makes coordinating both transactions and the move so much easier.
Step 2: Time to Face Reality
We'll take a look at your home and its general condition, noting the strong and weak points that a potential home buyer is likely to see and remember. I'll make suggestions of what you should and should not address in your repairs. Additionally, we'll discuss what the market's been like for homes that are similar to yours.
Step 3: Setting the Price
Once we've reviewed your goals, the condition of your home, and the condition of the market, we'll have a much better idea of what's possible in terms of a list price for your home. Ultimately, it's your decision. My job is to advise and help you understand the impact of your choices.
Step 4: Ready, Set, Go!
Based on all the work we've done so far in steps 1-3, I'll propose a marketing action plan to get your home sold in the shortest amount of time possible while giving you the best chance of getting you the price you want. [Read more detail.]
Step 5: Closing the Deal
When offers are received on your home, I'll help you understand what each offer means to your bottom line. Once you've decided which to accept, I will work with you and the buyer's agent to ensure that everything goes smoothly from the date of contract acceptance to closing/settlement when you will actually sign over the home to the new owner. I will be with you at the settlement table and help smooth out any last minute wrinkles and to ensure that your interests are being protected. [Read more detail.]

P.S. -- Is your home currently on the market, but not selling? There are any number of reasons why that might be so. If you're ready to consider switching agents or tired of trying to sell your home yourself, please give me a call.
