Information for Sellers

Working with an agent means signing a contract that gives the agent exclusive representation of the property for an agreed upon time period which is typically 3-6  months.During that period the agent is responsible for researching the markets related to the property as a way to determine its value and then, based on this information, working with you to arrive at a suitable price for the home. Once an offer is accepted the Agent will manage the paperwork involved throughout the transaction process.

Selling a home in this hot market is much easier than it was a few years ago. With  limited inventory  and so many buyers who stood on the sideline during the height of the pandemic, buyers are going over list price, short due diligence periods and even all cash. Who knows how long it will be a sellers market, but now is a great time to sell.    Hiring an experienced and knowledgeable REALTOR that knows your neighborhood is a very important factor is getting your house sold. Your home is a place where memories become as much a part of the property as the colors, the furnishings, and the views outside the window. These memories however, can become your greatest challenge when it comes time to sell. You’ll need to think differently and look at your home through the eyes of a potential buyer, and be aware of the things that can be improved to ensure the highest price offered. To improve its attractiveness, your home might need repair work and a touch up of the exterior portions. The interior should be cleared of clutter  and some personal items stored away. It also may need to be repainted and additional repairs  or minor improvements that you may have been putting off may also need to be done along with staging the home if it is vacant.

Establishing the right price for your home takes into account many factors, including your home’s unique features, investments in improvements that have been made that help increase the home’s value and the current state of the local real estate market. The right price can be achieved by taking into consideration all of these factors. Experience of the local market and what activity has been like historically can also help.

Nancy will use her marketing strategies and years of experience to ensure that her clients’ properties will not only sell quickly but also make the process easy for the sellers.The challenge is to ensure that your property receives maximum exposure to the right audience, and not just online, but off line as well including ads in magazines, contacts by emails etc. Beyond having your home’s information listed on websites and advertised in publications, there are also open houses, direct mail campaigns, postcards/mailers, agent caravans and flyers.( some of this happening less due to Covid ) Atlanta is a major city where people from all over the world are transferring to, especially with all the movie and TV filming in our state and those people will be looking to purchase a home.

Nancy will be hands on in keeping her clients informed of showings and delivering the feedback from agent caravans, open houses, showings from other agents, and online visitors.   Nancy will stay up to date with active listings in the neighborhood and know exactly what the competition looks like for her clients’ home.
