Let's get one thing out of the way., If you have a home to sell, we will SELL your home, not try to buy it from you, as some others advertise, when they fail. Try this experiment. If someone who is SUPPOSED to be SELLING your home, offers to buy it, ask them to Just Buy It for Top Price Now. The Bottom line is,

Let's talk about what needs to be done to sell your home for Top Price and Why You Should Trust Us to get it for you. Stick with me awhile more. There is a point to this, I promise !

Alright, let's talk about what needs to be done to sell your home for Top Price. First and foremost, we need to research the recent sales history of your home and simi liar homes in your area as well as the current active and expired listings of similar homes in the area.

Based on this research We will Prepare a Professional, Comprehensive, Marketing Report and analysis of this information which will clearly indicate what price range your home is in. This is not a hand-drawn, coffee-stained, multiple listing printout. This is a professionally prepared report by a Virginia Licensed Real Estate Agent with side-by-side comparisons, color pictures and maps !

Next, we'll discuss the proper preparation and presentation of your home to achieve Top Price. Preparation and Presentation are KEY. Your property must be prepared to highlight and present it's best and most desirable features to prospective buyers.

Marketing is another Key. One component of our Comprehensive Marketing Report will be a marketing plan. The marketing of your home is very specific to your specific home and market but you can be assured that we can market your home, as appropriate, in all the following ways:

• Print Media
• Direct Mail
• Open Houses
• Telemarketing
• Virtual Tours
• Internet/Web
• Internet/Email

Okay, now that we've properly prepared, priced and marketed your property, we have people banging on our door to buy your home ! We need to take a pause and look before we leap. We must pre-quality buyers for their financial ability and motivation to purchase your home. Let me repeat that because it's so important. We must Pre-Qualify Buyers. It's critical not to waste time on, and worse, take your home off the market for, people who are not qualified or motivated to buy your home.

Finally, we will Negotiate the Top Price and Best Terms for YOU based on your unique situation and your priorities. We will not cave-in to the desire for a "quick" or "easy" commission at you expense. It's a win for you or NO DEAL !

Okay, so maybe now your convinced that We Will get You Top Price for your home but you're thinking, "That sounds great, but I don't want to pay your commission". Well, let's get one thing clear. Real Estate brokerage fees in Virginia are completely negotiable. What ? Negotiable ? Yes.

Of course, no Realtor will negotiate themselves out of business and we are not a discount brokerage. We are a full-service brokerage. However, we want to be your Realtor for life and do offer commission rebates to our repeat clients to reward and maintain that relationship. Oh yeah, you are a repeat client if you sell your home and buy your next with us at the same time.

Well, there you have it. Those are some of the reasons why you can trust us to get you top price for you home. We have more, but don't worry, I won't subject you to any more !
