CONSIDERING LISTING YOUR PROPERTY FOR SALE?
Let’s get together and discuss your goals. A good starting point would be for me to visit your property and then follow up with a market analysis. Each property in the San Juans is unique and seeing the property in person is the best way to ensure an accurate valuation. I will also give you ideas for getting your property list-ready. In many cases, making small improvements can ensure a quicker sale for a higher amount. I will recommend and can coordinate necessary pre-inspections, ensuring a smooth transaction.
Together we will go over the listing agreement and expected Seller’s closing costs for San Juan County. I’ll also give you a required Seller Disclosure Form 17 to fill out.
Once the property is ready, I will schedule a professional photo shoot and prepare a listing description. You only get one chance to make a first impression and top-notch photography including aerials and 3-D walkthrough (when applicable) gets more buyers to click on your listing.
Throughout the duration of your listing, I will continuously leverage my professional industry contacts. I will guide you through the contract negotiations, advocating for your interests to secure favorable terms.
With a proven track record as a top-producing agent, I have established strong connections with reputable lenders, inspectors, consultants, attorneys, contractors, and brokers. These valuable relationships enable me to navigate the real estate journey seamlessly and ensure a successful closing for you.
