Comparable Market Analysis (CMA)
In order to help you choose the best listing price for your home, the Root Team will provide the most up-to-the-minute market information to let you know the approximate range your house will sell. The CMA shows current homes for sale and homes recently sold that are most comparable to yours. The CMA will feature homes similar to yours in the neighborhood, type of home, price, and other relevant variables.
Listing Your Home
Selling your own home is possible; but it is also stressful, time-consuming, and won’t save you the money you think it will. Real estate professionals sell your home faster and for more money. Over 85 percent of homeowners list with a professional.
Showings
Opening your home to qualified buyers is important, but the key word here is qualified. We make certain that other agents only bring serious buyers inside your home.
Sales Strategy
We know the market, what buyers are responding to, and what lenders are willing to loan. We will help you choose a sales strategy based on your personal needs.
Marketing
Every market is different. We know where to put your listing for the most exposure, how to present your home online and in flyers, and how to network to get more qualified buyers into your home.
Communications
We will be in touch as often as needed with feedback and changes in the marketplace. You are also welcome to call anytime for updates.
Contracts
Your buyer will likely use a state-approved contract for the offer. This contract is carefully written to avoid misunderstandings and to protect both parties from misinterpretations. We carefully review it to make sure your interests are protected and make appropriate suggestions or changes if necessary.
Negotiations
It’s easy to get frustrated with buyers who make low offers or ask for numerous concessions. Keeping negotiations between us as your agent and the buyers takes the emotions away.
Moving Forward
We work very hard to ensure that all parties involved in the transaction perform all necessary parts in the appropriate time. By moving the transaction forward, your closing won’t be delayed.
Coordinating the Closing
Once you and your buyer have reached an agreement, the transaction must be turned over to a closing agent. This closing agent is typically a title company that manages the paperwork for the closing sale. You will meet in a neutral location and sign the documents. We will accompany you to make certain the closing goes smoothly. Trust us to do our job. Selling a home can take weeks or months, depending on market conditions.
