If you're ready to sell a property in Hendersonville or the surrounding area I'm excited about the opportunity to work with you.  Below you'll find a brief description of the process in North Carolina to sell a home and the various stages of the transaction.  If you're unfamiliar with our current local regulations or the market dynamics in Hendersonville I'm happy to start with a quick conversation!  

Let’s Talk!

It’s easy to contact me by phone, email, or social media to schedule a Listing Appointment.  Prompt responses are one of my trademarks.

Pre-Listing Information

Before our meeting, I’ll provide a pre-listing packet that outlines our Sales System, One Day Listing Guarantee, and other pertinent information to get us started selling your home!  Would you like to receive the packet by mail, in person or electronically?  

Working with Real Estate Agents

In North Carolina, it's the law!  Licensees must provide you a Working with Real Estate Agents brochure to determine how you would like to be represented in your real estate transaction. If you would like additional information or to request a copy for digital signatures we can get right to work.  Let's get started! 

Property Analysis (Comparative Market Analysis)

You’ll need to answer a few questions so that I can prepare a comparative market analysis (CMA).  This report will include a probable sales price range, based on recent sales of comparable properties, and gives you an overview of the market and our competition.  Request a CMA and I’ll be in touch soon! 

Listing Appointment

I’ll meet with you to answer any questions you have about our process, tour the property, and present the comparative market analysis data. Once you’ve decided on a listing price and we’ve agreed on a selling strategy to meet your goals, we’ll enter into a listing agreement and begin actively marketing the property.

Home Preparation

Presenting the property in its best condition is critical to obtaining the highest value for your home.  We’ll suggest simple steps to make the best impression during showings and to prepare the home from a buyer’s perspective.              

Marketing

We’ll prepare a marketing plan to ensure we reach our target audience.  Placing your property in our Multiple Listing Service (MLS) will alert over 2600 active agents.  We’ll also utilize tools including professional photography, videography, property specific websites and direct mail. The advertisements will be distributed through hundreds of websites and through social media campaigns to drive buyer interest.      

Offer to Purchase

When buyers make an offer, I will notify you immediately and provide you with a copy of the documents so that we can review their offering price, terms, and conditions.  Based on our analysis of the offer, you can decide to accept, counter or reject the offer.  I’ll prepare the necessary paperwork to communicate your decision with the buyer’s agent.  

Negotiation

Once an offer is on the table, expect negotiations. It’s not out of the ordinary for a counter offer or series of counters before the respective parties come to an agreement.  

Due Diligence

When we have a signed contract, the buyers are entitled to perform inspections. The period for due diligence is specified in Offer to Purchase.  Based upon what the buyers find, they may ask for a situation to be remedied, request a price adjustment, or withdraw from the contract.  I’ll stay in constant communication with the buyer’s agent and help facilitate these negotiations to keep the process moving forward.  Our Resource Directory provides the names of vendors who can perform services, if they are needed, and answer questions as they arise.  

Closing

I’ll provide any information your attorney needs, review the HUD closing statement with you and accompany you to the closing.  Once the deed has been signed and the property transferred, congratulations!  It’s time to celebrate another milestone.
