1. Plan
Develop a plan to ensure we know what your family needs
We’ll walk through your wants and needs in your dream family home. I’ll supply you with relevant market information, so you can be an educated seller and consumer, and provide you with checklists to make the process smoother.
We’ll discuss your priorities for your next home – do you love to swim and absolutely need a pool, or is that large family room more important? – and once I know what you really value as a family, what you’re most concerned about, and what you’re most looking forward to, together we will plan your move
2. Prepare
Preparing Home for Listing
My team will help prep your home for listing. We go through your home and put together a detailed list of minor repairs and adjustments that will increase the value of your home and get it in showing-ready condition for the market.
We have a list of preferred contractors that we know will get the job done and get it done well for painting, repairs, staging, etc.
Once your home is ready, our marketing team takes over getting professional photos and measurements and preparing the marketing items. We believe you need to have buyers see and fall in love with your home from the moment they put eyes just like you did, so we strive to have it stand out.
3. Execute
List your Current Home
Your listing goes live! We make sure it’s listed on the Matrix MLS system as well as other popular real estate sites, and begin our proven marketing system.
We use the professional photos that were shot to ensure buyers are loving what they see from day one of your listings, create professional looking and eye-catching property landing pages specific for your home where we can track online activity viewing your property. We also use Facebook advertising to bring the right buyers to your home – families just like yours who will make their own memories and keep the laughter and fun going as you’re getting settled into your new place.
We also leverage other social media platforms to make sure that we’re getting maximum exposure and that your home is being seen by the right people.
4. Dream
Find your Dream Home
When an offer comes in for your property, it’s time to go to bat and negotiate the best possible deal for you – that means not only getting the best possible sale price, but also negotiating terms that make sense for your family. Most of the time, there’ll be some back and forth, and we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
Once your home has an accepted offer, it’s time to go shopping for your dream home! While this step can seem exciting, it can also be overwhelming. Trust us, we have been through this process and we have tips and processes to help you optimize your search.
Together, we’ll do market education to get you familiar with value and availability. If you have young babies or a busy schedule, we’re very good at previewing and using video to highlight things you might love or reasons why the property isn’t a fit for you. This saves you time and having to lug babies and kids in and out of homes while we narrow it down
5. Memories
Moving in and Making Memories
There will be a lot going on in the background to ensure your sale closes on time and we can get you the keys for your new home. Everything from inspections to title checks. We’ll communicate with you throughout the process to ensure you’re never in the dark, and that everything comes together for your family!
You can anticipate reminder emails and calls from us to make sure the mortgage funds get to the lawyers, that you get to the lawyers, and that we get your keys on time.
If you need a little more detail in the steps, we can send you a full checklist to remind you of all the items you need to check off on the way to your new home such as moving utilities, address changes, setting up appointments for internet and cable and even recommendations for movers.
Our Move-up Method will help you leverage your time and energy while allowing us to support you and your family through the planning, execution and even moving in to make memories in your dream home. We will provide you the tools and support to follow our seamless plan.
