Full Service Marketing and Personally Customized Service
At East Bridge Realty our goal is to, not simply sell your house, but help you realize the best price obtainable for your property. To help you achieve this goal we utilize a full marketing system and action plan.
During the market analysis presentation Yvonne will explain every aspect of the selling process to you. Once you list with East Bridge Realty, Yvonne will begin managing the sale of your home with implementation of her marketing system and action plan.
The relationship between you and your Broker is the key to the successful sale of your home. Your home and needs are unique; therefore your sales associate won't use a pre-designed plan to sell your property. Yvonne will listen to your goals, address your concerns, and use her knowledge and experience to create a custom plan that will effectively result in a sale.
A Buyer is Ready to Present an Offer!
When an offer is presented, Yvonne will advise and help you to obtain the best possible price and terms. Understanding the standard forms and the many transactional issues is key to negotiating the best terms to meet your individual needs. Making sure buyers are pre-qualified is of utmost importance in negotiating a successful sale. Yvonne will promote your interests and assist in developing a clear and binding transaction.
Typically an offer is initiated by the buyer through their sales associate and includes the following information:
You have an Acceptable Offer!
Yvonne will inform you of immediate steps regarding down payments, building inspections, contingency dates, etc. Timing is critical at this stage and Yvonne's main goal is to ensure you have a smooth and successful transaction from start to finish!
Between Contract and Closing
Yvonne will be there to assist you with the services you need before, during and after your move. Throughout the transaction, you will need to closely monitor the progress of all contingencies to make certain that all deadlines are met. On the day of closing, the buyer will have a "final walkthrough" to make certain that the house is left in "broom clean" condition and has been thoroughly vacated.
What to expect at the Closing
The closing is a formal process where all parties sign all of the necessary paperwork, needed to complete the transaction. Title to the property is transferred from you to the buyer. The buyer receives the house-keys and you receive payment for the house! From the amount credited to you, the closing attorney subtracts the funds to pay off the existing mortgage and other transaction costs. Deeds, loan papers, and other documents are prepared, signed and ultimately filed with local property record office.
After the closing
At closing and beyond, we are here to assist you. In addition, Yvonne is always available to answer questions and provide advice, it's part of her full-service Guarantee!
