Let Me Tell You How I Work!

I wanted to take a minute to tell you a little about me and how I work so that you understand what I do as a Central Virginia real estate agent and how I can help you get top dollar for your home in the shortest amount of time possible.

First of all, I work entirely differently than any other real estate agent you've probably met.  I work in steps because I know that that is the way I can provide you with the best service possible.

The first thing I want to do is to come and meet you and see your home.  That way we'll get to know each other better and I'll be able to find out all about your home.  I will take detailed notes and with your permission I'll take digital photos of your home as well.

I will also be bringing something with me for you to review when I'm gone.  I call it my CAREERbook^®.  It is like a professional scrapbook that I'll leave with you so that you can learn more about me, what I've done in real estate, and the service I provide.  My past sellers have told me how much they appreciated seeing it.  I will also be leaving a very powerful 20 minute DVD on pricing your home so it will sell for top dollar.  If you will look through my CAREERbook^® and watch the DVD while I'm gone, I'll pick them up at our next appointment.

While you do that, I'll go back to my office and prepare an exclusive detailed report for you and when we get together again, I'll be going through that with you.  My detailed report is in two parts.  The first part is about all the marketing that I will do to sell your home (and I do have some real secrets to share!), and the second part will be pricing - how your home fits into today's market in price and terms.  Some agents will tell you only what you want to hear, but you can count on me to be honest with you.

The final step is to fill out the paperwork to bring your home on the market and the I have an extra special, free service that I provide, that very few agents know or understand, and that is I will help you Stage^®, or prepare your home, for sale.  You see, Staged homes sell faster and/or for more money and it usually doesn't cost much money, mainly a little time and energy on your part to create space for Buyers to mentally move their own things in.  I have a saying, "The way you live in your home and the way we market and sell your house are two different things!"  When you sell you're going to have to move, and when you move you're going to have to pack, so we're just going to pack up a few things early!  I can show you simple things to do, loan you the staging DVD by the creator of Home Staging, Barb Schwarz, and/or refer you to my ASP Stager on my team who will show you all the ins and outs of Staging.  It's fun, It's easy, and it is the biggest secret of my success as an agent.  Once we get the Staging done we'll be ready to get your home on the market and get it SOLD for top dollar!!
