Information for Sellers

Getting the most for your home or property means doing more than putting a "For Sale" sign out front. In a competitive market where new homes for sale are added daily, your listing needs to be seen in a variety of places in order to stand out. And sometimes the right buyer is waiting out of state, or even in another country. To ensure sure your home gets noticed and sells without a hitch for full market value, you need to be working with a Full Time Professional Agent. It could mean the difference between an Expired Listing and Achieving Your Goal because selling your home is not your goal, but rather a means to that goal, what ever it is.

Five Reasons to Sell your home with us.

  1. We will customize marketing plan tailored to your specific home.
  2. We will get your home listed and talked about everywhere, not just in a local paper or on your street.
  3. We attract buyers via the Internet, not just one, but Seven Multiple Listing Systems covering two states
  4. We know what paperwork you need, what disclosures must be filed and what your attorney needs.
  5. We have been highly trained in the fine art of negotiation. Your home is not our training ground.

As your Seller's Agent, we'll quickly put together a custom marketing plan with an effective price designed to both attract buyers quickly while making sure you retain as much equity int he home as possible in the current market. A well-priced home will often generate competing offers and drive up the final sale value. Our MVS (market valuation system)  takes into account the most actively searched prices, and home values throughout your area, including expired listings, and properties still on the market. In marketing your home, we also develop a listing that emphasizes its unique and sellable aspects. We then put your home in front of thousands of buyers instantly, publishing it on all the MLS's we belong to, not just local ones. Over night, your homes is syndicated to more than 40 different Buyer web sites like Trulia, Zillow, Homes, Realtor, Facebook and many many more. Our network of professional real estate contacts and buyers throughout the nation will also have the opportunity to check out your listing via our networking sites and blogs. In addition, we'll use special IDX (Internet Data Exchanges) agreements to get your listing not just on our Corporate web site, but the web sites of all our competitors. With more than 87 per cent of buyers checking the web first when looking for a home, that's a part of your marketing strategy you can't afford to miss.

Marketing your home yourself can be time consuming and difficult. Advertising in the media is often expensive, and many buyers are reluctant to consider homes listed as FSBO (For Sale by Owner) because they have to forgo professional representation on one of the most important financial investments they will ever make. FSBO properties typically attract either unqualified buyers or investors looking to drive the price down considerable as they know you are not properly represented and will most likely give in to their high pressure tactics. Not to mention various Fair Housing laws. Our agents are trained constantly on fair housing regulations to help both our clients, the homeowner and themselves from being fined by violating Fair Housing regulations. Common mistakes include such statements as Family Friendly, Close to Church and Mother/Daughter have all been found to be violations of Fair Housing regulations.  

When we list your home, we do so at no up front cost to you. We get paid when you get paid, At closing! When the offers start to come in, we represent you during the emotionally charged negotiating process and ensure you get the best possible price, with the most favorable closing terms that are clearly spelled out. As your agent, we are always looking out for you in one of your biggest financial transactions. Even Realtors use a Realtor when we buy and sell our homes.  As Principal Broker at St, Lawrence Properties, I have personally represented agents from both my company as well as other brokerage firms.

For most of us, our home is our single biggest investment we will ever make. When it's time to sell, get the value you deserve with the help of a true Full Time Professional Agent and...
