Why Do I Need A Realtor? What Does a Selling Agent do for Me? As you consider selling your Woodland or Yolo County home, you might be thinking “Why do I need a Realtor, what value does Vicki Walker bring to the table?” There are five areas where I can help to sell your home - SETTING THE PRICE Pricing your home is a careful balance. Set the price too low and you leave money on the table. Set the price too high and your home will be on the market a long time, which just compounds the problem as it raises questions about it’s salability. I know what the properties like yours have sold for recently, and can utilize the detailed history of area sales to tell whether your home - with it’s unique features, location and condition - will bring more, or less, than similar listings. And I always have the pulse of the California Real Estate market, so I know whether the market is heating up or cooling down, and can stay ahead of the trend, pricing your home to get you the highest possible price in the least amount of time. BEING OBJECTIVE Selling a home can be an emotional experience. After all, it’s been a part of your life, perhaps the center of your life, for years. As a third party, I can keep you focused and provide independent feedback on things you should do, or changes and repairs that should be made, to help the home sell. I will also act as a buffer during negotiations. As a licensed Realtor, I adhere to a strict code of ethics and work to represent your best interests. PROVIDE MARKETING MUSCLE Attracting interested people to view and buy your home does not happen automatically. I will market your home to the widest audience of potential buyers through a well-coordinated multimedia campaign. Check out the details by going to How I Market Your Home. Of course I will use Signs, Newspaper Ads, Internet and open houses, but you’ll also be placed in the Multiple Listing Service where local agents can bring it to the attention of their buyers, and then to Realtor.com and Yahoo Classifieds Real Estate where it can be viewed by anyone in the world that is relocating to Davis, Woodland, or Yolo County. PRE-QUALIFY BUYERS I can help separate the serious buyers from the “lookie-loos” and thus save you a lot of time and frustration. I will determine if buyers are serious by getting answers to questions about their motivations and purchasing power and by ensuring that they have been pre-qualified for a mortgage in the amount needed to buy your home. FOLLOW THROUGH and CLOSE THE DEAL Selling your house is complicated and there is a mountain of paperwork. First there are offers and counter-offers. Then come the Contracts of Sale, inspection reports, disclosure forms, deeds, mortgage documents. I keep track of it all and see to every detail. My value is in avoiding delays and mistakes, and coordinating the timing of the sale of this house with the purchase of another so that you make a smooth transition to your new home. Do I succeed?
