I believe that in this day and age, internet exposure of your home is critical. I believe that, when you hire me to sell your home, one of my most important tasks is to promote your home to as large an audience as possible—so that the ultimate buyer will find out about it. With this in mind, I invest in extensive online advertising—to send qualified visitors to my web sites—and ultimately, your home. Your home will be listed on all major website portals . Every one of my listings has its own personal website address—that means it has its very own web page - plus inclusion in my many other sites! How many REALTORS do you know that will offer you such massive, worldwide exposure? List with me and mention this website to me, and I'll provide you with a FREE home warranty that that covers you during the time you are listed with me. This will protect you if your covered systems fail such as hot water heater, microwave, dishwasher, etc. for just a minor $60 technician fee. Talk with me about the details. I will keep you informed with all of the feedback available from the agents who show your home so that you know what the buyers are thinking. We will help you "Set the stage." When you decide to list with us, we will walk through your home with you and discuss how to prepare it for market. This can have a significant impact on the number of days your home is on the market, AND the price you ultimately obtain. We will bring you financially qualified buyers.We will negotiate on your behalf when an agreement of sale comes in for your home. We will review and discuss its terms and conditions with you, including an estimate of your net proceeds. We will handle the details on your behalf throughout the entire transaction to successfully close the sale. You home will be featured on Realtor.com, the most active listing website on the web, as a SHOWCASED, ENHANCED LISTING. There will be many photos and a nice write up about your home there along with a link to contact me directly--not just to the office where some agent who has never seen your home gets the inquiry. You will be featured on this site: www.Lindadale.com. Your home will also be featured on www.Linda.Lindadale.net, another one of my websites. Check it out when you have a minute. Through the closing, we will make sure all contingencies of your agreement of sale are met to your satisfaction, and that all conditions of the buyers mortgage are satisfied. We have an on-site conveyancer to handle all title issues for you. She will also order payoff statements for your existing mortgage, water and sewer certifications and make sure your file is complete at the time of closing so that we have a smooth closing. We will stay in touch with you throughout the entire transaction to keep you informed and answer all of your questions. Etc etc etc.... Ask me ANY question about selling your home or property. Or request my FREE in-home presentation of how I would market your property in Horsham, Upper Dublin, Doylestown and Blue Bell! There's no obligation, and I promise to get back to you quickly...
First Time Buyers >Finding A Real Estate Agent
Finding an experienced, reliable real estate agent whom you like and trust is the first step in locating your new home. Here is an approach to finding the right agent.
Call or stop by a real estate office and ask to speak with the manager. Describe the type of home you are looking for. The manager can refer you to an agent who knows that market very well. You might also use weekend "open houses" as opportunities to look for a real estate agent, as well as a new home. It is really a matter of chemistry! If you meet someone who is knowledgeable and with whom you feel comfortable, call that person!
Once you establish a strong working relationship with a real estate agent, your agent can show you a number of homes for sale, even if they are listed with other companies. Often the agent can show you a property as soon as it is placed on the market. Many of the best homes never even make it to the weekend classified section of the newspaper!
