For Sellers
What are the reasons for selling?
A savvy agent will ask you some questions about your decision to sell your home.
|
These answers may be self-evident to you, but it's certainly worth a discussion before anyone is talking about price and marketing and such. Of course, how much you realize in your pocket from a sale might enter into your thinking. But we feel that all the reasons financial, geographical, and emotional need to be explored by the broker and client early on.
Early on in the process, you and your agent should establish the best time frame for your sale. Seasonality is a big part of real estate. The market changes from month to month and season to season. A seasoned broker will understand the tone and tenor of the marketplace with respect to timing so you can realize the most stress-free transaction. There is a favorable time to sell in your market, and your broker should be able to address this question.
Without a doubt, this seems to be the most misunderstood aspect of a home sale that brokers don't understand. A serious consideration of your current and expected future financial condition needs to be assessed before a serious conversation should be engaged about a home sale. Our team can effectively measure the cumulative effect of the net proceeds of your sale on your situation. It is not as cut and dried as it may seem. We understand some aspects of tax planning, and estate planning, and have a team of advisors at the ready to help you with these questions. We ensure that you will take control of your financial situation with any sale we take on for you.
