Tom Kennedy’s
designated Seller’s Agent
Home Selling Services Commitment
Helping you to sell your property for the best attainable price in the time frame that fits your plans, considering current local real estate market conditions, and helping make your home-selling process efficient and successful is my goal and intense service focus. While representing your interests throughout the process as your designated seller’s agent, I will:
Communicate with you in a timely and efficient manner. – Using your preferred method(s) of communication (i.e. in person, phone, email, text, scan/fax, other), primary and secondary contact persons, and contact times.
Identify your needs. - Consult with you to clarify your needs, expectations and priorities. Review “agency” choices and select appropriate working relationship. Answer any questions you might have about the home selling process.
Develop and implement an effective Marketing Plan for your property. - Design a Marketing Plan tailored to your property to achieve maximum exposure to prospective buyers. Share information about your property with fellow professionals and other cooperating real estate professionals through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Install a well-recognized Realtors FOR SALE yard sign, where allowed. Discuss pro’s and con’s of open houses and hold open houses, as needed. Promote your property through effective media outlets with primary use of the internet. Discuss how written property disclosure, a home warranty offering, and professional home inspections may enhance the salability of your property. Seek “pre-qualified” or “pre-approved” buyers and require financial qualifying information on all buyers submitting offers. Communicate with you throughout the marketing process.
Help you determine an effective Pricing Strategy. - Explain how market value is determined and discuss the role of market-sensitive pricing in the successful sale of your property. Prepare a Comparative Market Analysis of recent real estate activity and trends, to help you determine a realistic listing price. Discuss financing options that will help attract potential buyers. Assist you in preparing a preliminary estimate of your costs and cash proceeds based on probable selling price and financing terms. Continue to monitor real estate market activity and recommend price adjustments, when indicated.
Recommend steps to prepare your property for market. - Identify exterior and interior enhancements that will help your property make the best possible impression on prospective buyers and help you identify items that will either add to or detract from the attractiveness and “show-ability” of your property. Advise you how to prepare your property for real estate professional previews and buyer showings.
Represent you in negotiations with prospective buyers. - Review all purchase offers with you and discuss with you the choices and implications relating to accepting, rejecting, or countering each offer. Negotiate in your best interests, including the handling of counter offers, to help you reach an agreement with the buyer that is acceptable to you.
Work to protect your interests through completion of the transaction. - Work with the buyer’s real estate professional and others to see that all requirements of the purchase agreement are satisfied and to help keep the transaction on schedule. Keep you informed of the progress of the transaction. Follow up on any remaining details after the closing and provide assistance on relocation or additional services you may need.
