Experience Makes The Difference
Getting
top SS for your home begins with marketing. The Bakers don't follow
the crowd: they are trendsetters. There's much more to selling a
home than meets the eye, especially with many new or revised banking and regulation changes
as well as distressed properties. Here's a very brief outline of
what the we do in the process.
Selling a home begins with our
understanding pricing, market conditions, and many variables that
affect both.
Our marketing involves HTML editing, creating QR codes, copywriting, animated gifs, professional photography, You Tube Video production with Photodex, and web authoring then posting to Zillow, Trulia and many other sites.
Next comes professional
staging tips, orchestrating showings, feedback and answering questions,
and being on call for an offer, which can be on any of four
different contracts. 
We continue with negotiating, where only experience and first-hand knowledge come into play. We have to look out for hidden contingencies and extended attorney reviews, where many transactions falter.
How about the home inspection? Is it a B vent issue, double tap, a 27.5 pcl Radon reading, or that black stuff in your attic you thought was nothing BUT turns out to be mold? Now get through all that and face a request for a mortgage extension 30 days later. How do you handle that?
What about the appraiser? Many deals fall
apart because the sellers just aren't knowledgeable enough to deal
with the appraiser. They have no clue of what an appraiser can
use and what they can't. We do, and have been instrumental in
getting our sales to appraise.
At last you
get to the final walk thru and oops! That small leak above the foyer
has the buyer requesting a new roof an hour later at the closing
table. Ever dealt with that? We have and a whole lot
more...and closed the deal.
That's why we're experts. Day in and day out
we're handling the complexities that arise along the way, dealing
with countless issues, overcoming objections, and closing many, many
homes. You see, that's our business, and we keep it simple...
for you that is.
Choose the Bakers as your realtors and see why we're
ahead of the crowd from start to finish.
For-Sale-By-Owner
In the end, it comes down to the amount of the check you receive at the closing table.
One couple we met with
decided to sell by owner and advertised the home for less than what
our list price would have been. In about a month it sold, BUT
we could have gotten over $400K for the home at the time it was
offered for sale. Yet, the sellers accepted $370K. They
wanted to avoid paying approx. $20,000 in real estate fees (the
realtors keep but a fraction of that). But when all was said
and done, the sellers walked away with a check for over $10,000 LESS
than if we had sold the home for them.
Forget Transferees.
The for-sale-by-owner doesn't have the marketing to
reach transferees, and even if he could, transferees have relocation
packages and are obligated to work with a specific realtor to
receive those benefits.
Is
it worth it?
Walk-thrus, negotiating, animosity
that's sometimes created between buyer and seller, contracts,
attorneys, buyer financing, inspections,
appraisal, post-close
possession, disclosures, advertising, inviting strangers into the
home, marketing--all this and more these sellers went through and
STILL got a smaller check. Often when people sell by owner,
their egos get in the way of making sound decisions. They forget
that professionals who've sold hundreds of homes simply have more
experience than they do.
They forget the bottom line --
money.
