Listing services ALWAYS include the following:

 

Home Valuation/Comparative Market Analysis: I gather and analyze a list of homes comparable to yours that have sold recently in your area, and recommend a listing price.

 

Home Walk-Through Analysis: I walk through the home with you and help identify items that may help improve showing presentation. A list of Home Repair and Improvement referrals may be provided upon request.

 

MLS Listing (Multiple Listing Service): Entry of your home into the Austin MLS. Your listing data and images are then distributed and published on AustinHomeSearch.com and Realtor.com for public view.

 

National Listing Posting: This Additional Exposure Engine is legendary for its ability to put your home in front of buyers. This posting will be viewable to potentially hundreds of other local real estate websites and dozens of the busiest real estate marketplaces on the web like Oodle, Trulia, Google, Yahoo! and NYTimes.com.

 

Pre-qualification of all prospective buyers: This is important to avoid tying up the property in a contract with a prospect that won’t qualify for a mortgage. We can get them approved for a mortgage loan in less than 24 hours, and sometimes in 10 minutes. We can also run their credit for you. If we can’t get them approved, let’s not waste your time.

 

Electronic Memory Keybox: Allows access only to Realtors when no one is home, and keeps track of everyone who has accessed your property and when.

 

Showing Reports and Feedback: Weekly Feedback Reports are emailed to you directly. In addition, I contact each agent who has showed your property individually to gather feedback on your behalf. Given the feedback, recommendations may be made to help market your property better.

 

In addition to the above listed services, we also provide the following:

• Act as the direct contact for all communication from Buyer or Buyer’s agent to Seller and vice versa

• Show property to prospective buyers

• Take all images of your property for the MLS and Realtor.com listings

• Provide marketing materials tailored and printed for your property

• Coordinate inspections, appraisals and handle any problems that may arise

• Receive, review, and negotiate all offers

• Advise on all aspects of the offer, and draft counter-offers

• Make sure the contract is finalized and always executed with your best interest in mind.
