Selling a home on your own is possible, but it certainly is not easy. By selecting a REALTOR® to be your ally you will benefit from world-class marketing, home preparation expertise, and all of the negotiation and closing skills you can imagine.
Picture this - you’re showing your home and receive offers from buyers represented by some highly experienced agents. Wouldn’t you want to fight fire with fire? With an ally like Lockhearts, you’re more likely to negotiate a higher selling price that will cover the cost of our fees and pocket you some extra cash.
So what would a REALTOR® do throughout the process?
Act as your point person to:
Your REALTOR® will be the front person, your eyes and ears, and your chief executioner. Here’s some of the things we’ll do;
Fully prepare you for the process and all if it’s wonderful intricacies
Advise you on how to get the home ready for sale
Set a competitive pricing strategy
Use world-class marketing, both physical and digital, to showcase your home far and wide
Handle all inbound queries and show the home to potential buyers and agents
Keep you regularly informed through open-ended communication
Find pre-qualified buyers:
We know our local colleagues well and we often discuss the needs of our clients. When a home goes on the market, it is likely we will already know many interested buyers who are pre-qualified and ready to buy
Negotiate the deal:
So many things can go into a property negotiation. Will we need to lease the property from the buyer for a short period of time? Are we placing the onus on them to complete an engineering inspection? Whether your ideal sale is driven by price, timeliness, or convenience, we’ll negotiate the best deal for you
As offers come through we will be able to advise you which ones are best suited to your needs, as it isn’t often clear
Be your closing coordinator:
Ah, closing, the light at the end of the tunnel can be seen but there is still a ways to go
Documents must be properly completed within tight timeframes, communicating with a range of parties representing you and the buyer is essential, and making this all happen without it impacting your life is key. We’re seasoned project managers and able to relay information at warp speed, closing has never been so easy
Deliver the keys to the lucky new owners and support you with a smooth transition onto your next journey
We’re proud of the reputation we’ve earned as top REALTORS®, but the relationships we form with our clients are the best part of our job. Building a solid relationship before the start of this process is critical, with us you will find a trusted, down-to-earth partner who places your interests above those of ourselves.
