Seller Services

 I have been a Diamond Producer since 2002, the result of hard work and extensive experience in the local market. As you know, the selling process begins with a determination of a reasonable asking price.

Through a comparative market analysis I will provide you with
up-to-date information on your particular market and the price, financing, terms and condition of competing properties in your market. These are key factors in getting your property positioned and sold for the best price.

Marketing

The next step is marketing. Marketing includes the exposure of your property to the general public and other real estate agents through different marketing vehicles.

Details about your property need to reach a wide audience so that your property gains the best market exposure. In today's world we utilize a combination of vehicles to gain the most exposure. From Broker Tours to Open Houses, Online/Print Advertising and For Sale Signage, we work tirelessly to give your property the most exposure possible.

The choice of media and frequency of exposure depends a lot on the property and the specific market. For example, in some areas, newspaper advertising generates phone calls to a real estate office but yields limited effectiveness in selling property.

Overexposure in any media may give buyers an impression that the property is defective or that the seller is unrealistic or desperate. It is a misconception that advertising sells real estate.

In fact, The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® studies show that 82% of real estate sales are the result of agent contacts through previous clients, friends, family personal contacts and referrals.

Property Security

Harvard Realty utilizes services like Supra and MAPASS
when marketing our properties to make sure that the showing process is secure. We do not allow strangers access to your home and we pre-screen all agents scheduling appointments so that you can have peace of mind.

Negotiating

The negotiation process deals with much the same issues for both buyers and sellers. I will help you objectively evaluate every buyer's proposal without compromising your marketing position. This initial agreement is only the beginning of a process of inspections and financing -- a lot of possible pitfalls. I will help you through all negotiations so that you can make it through the process.

Managing Renegotiations and Closing

Between the initial contract to purchase and closing, complications often arise. For example, unexpected repairs or other issue are discovered. I will help you resolve these issues, keep the transaction on track for closing or heaven for bid put it back on the market and resume marketing.

Why Use a Real Estate Professional?

Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people make in their lifetime. Transactions today often exceed $500,000. If you had a $500,000 investment opportunity, would you make the investment without engaging a professional? If you had a $500,000 legal question, would you make decisions without an attorney? Considering the cost and the risk, it seems foolish to enter into a real estate transaction without the professional assistance of a real estate professional.
