Selling a Home

Selling your home involves many steps, and I can help you every step of the way. From consultation to pricing and marketing to escrow, I'll take care of all the details so you can sell your home at a price that makes you feel comfortable. I offer a high level of expertise, tailored to fit the characteristics of your property. As a Prudential Locations' agent, I have many established relationships, as well as access to numerous resources that you'll benefit from directly.

As your agent, I will assist you in all stages of the process, from the marketing of your home and purchase offer through closing. I'll help coordinate advertising, open houses, professional inspections, generate progress reports and contract negotiations. I'll handle coordination of showings, escrow monitoring, and closing and recordation.

Let's begin with an overview of the selling process:

Step 1: Initial Consultation
At our first meeting, I'll gain an understanding of the objectives you want to achieve in the sale of your home. We'll analyze your property for its special features and differentiators, and I'll listen to your expectations of me, as your representing agent.

Step 2: Determining Market Value
Next, we'll determine market value by evaluating recently sold homes, current homes for sale, as well as homes that have failed to sell. Through this website, you can research the market and see recent activity to make comparisons. The buyer ultimately sets the actual price for your home by shopping, comparing, and selecting the best value.

Step 3: Designing and Implementing a Marketing Plan
The next step is to establish your marketing objectives so your home sells for the highest value in the shortest possible time. Our aim is to attract qualified buyers through a variety of channels. To do this, I'll utilize the full resources of Prudential Locations so you'll gain maximum exposure for your home.

The implementation of your marketing plan may include taking professional photos, listing your home on Pruhawaii.com and BrokersMLS.com, creating a brochure for your property, advertising in the newspaper, Sunday open houses, developing an internal Prudential Locations promotion, and mailing open house invitations.

Step 4: Preparing Your Home for Sale
Together, we'll make the best possible impression with potential buyers. This can be accomplished by keeping the property clean and presentable during showings. Some helpful suggestions for showings may include: cleaning up clutter, trimming overgrown landscapes, removing dying plants, replacing worn carpet or peeling paint, and cleaning smudges or marks on the interior walls.

Step 5: Reviewing Offer and Negotiating with Buyer's Agent
I will review all offers with you, and will negotiate the agreement until the transaction is complete.

Step 6: Monitoring the Escrow Process
Once the sale goes into escrow, I'll give you regular updates and inform you of any documents/inspections you may need to provide. I'll also notify you when the final paperwork needs to be signed to complete the escrow process.

Step 7: After-Sale Follow Up
Lastly, we'll have a final meeting to make sure all settlement transactions have been fulfilled.
