HOW ELISHA WORKS WITH SELLERS

Elisha sizes up the competition. After spending some time with you in your home learning all she can about it, Elisha gets down to work with pricing. She researches what is active and, hence, your direct competition in the marketplace; she looks through homes in your neighborhood that are pending and that recently sold with qualities similar to yours; and, she even crunches the numbers on appreciation for your area. Once armed with all this information (and with her sharp market intuition), Elisha presents you with a comparative market analysis for your home and her recommendation for a list price that will get you the most amount of money for your home in the least amount of time.

Elisha helps you prepare your home for market. Many simple do-it-yourself projects and simplifying tasks around the house can add thousands of dollars to your list price. Elisha’s goal is to make sure you realize every dollar possible on your sale, which means she doesn’t put a home on the market until it shines and shows its greatest potential. Elisha’s motto: the first impression must be the best impression. She gives you specific tools for preparing your home and, if necessary, has a network of exceptional contractors to help with the projects you may not want to do yourself.

Proactive marketing begins! A successful sale takes more than putting a sign in your front yard and listing the home on the MLS. While marketing to homeowners is a vital element of the sale, Elisha understands that marketing to other agents wields even greater power. With this in mind, Elisha creates a showcase for your home with the MLS listing by utilizing the maximum number of color photos allowed and, if feasible, a virtual tour. Then, SHE GETS THE WORD OUT. Elisha personally contacts every Buyer’s agent with a client looking for a home like yours to let them know of the fabulous opportunity your home presents for their clients. Then, she begins to spread the general word about your home through internet sites, various community boards, open houses, and publications and doesn’t stop until you have offers on the table.

Elisha manages the deal and protects your interests. When offers to purchase are submitted for your home and one is ultimately accepted by you, Elisha knows it is her job to protect your interests and make sure the sale progresses as you expect it to. Elisha verifies the Buyer’s ability to financially complete the transaction; she monitors every timeline; if repair issues come up in the inspection, she handles all repair negotiations; and, in the rare situation where the Buyer does not meet their deadlines, she understands the contractual options available to you and will help you decide the best way moving forward with the sale. Through it all, Elisha faithfully communicates with all interested parties and ensures all required documentation is delivered to escrow in a timely manner. Elisha’s attention to the details means you will breathe easy through the sale and stay focused on the end goal: money in your pocket and the opportunity to sail through to the next chapter of your life with ease
