Access:
Ensuring that prospective buyers can view your home at their convenience is vital for selling it quickly. Our agents will create a flexible showing schedule tailored to your needs. Whether you are still living in the home or have vacated, we will make sure that buyers have ample opportunities to visit and view your property. Our goal is to accommodate both your schedule and the needs of potential buyers, maximizing the chances of a swift sale. Ask your LoKation agent about the various options available to ensure your home is accessible to prospective buyers at convenient times. From arranging open houses to setting up private showings, our agents are committed to providing the best exposure and access for your property.
Price:
If you’re not priced right, you’re not selling. Pricing your home accurately from the start is crucial to attracting serious buyers and achieving a quick sale. Our experienced agents use comprehensive market analysis to determine the optimal listing price for your property. When you list with us, you have options and benefit from our transparency. Discuss with your LoKation Realtor what to expect regarding compensation and how this can be leveraged to sell your home faster and for more money in your pocket. We are committed to helping you achieve the best possible outcome by setting a competitive price that reflects your home’s true value.
Setting the Listing Price
In setting the list price for your home, you should be aware of a buyer’s frame of mind. Based on a list of houses for sale in your neighborhood (which can be in the form of a printed list from us, or online search results that you’ve found yourself), buyers will determine which houses they want to view. Consider the following pricing factors:
- If you set the price too high, your house won’t be picked for viewing, even though it may be much nicer than others in the area.
- You may have told your REALTOR® to “Bring me any offer. Frankly, I’d take less.” But in that list of houses, yours simply looks too expensive to be considered.
- If you price too low, you’ll short-change yourself. Your house will sell promptly, yes, but before it has time to find the buyer who would have paid more.
- Compensation: Commissions are always negotiable. Determining the offer of compensation that you would be willing to offer can increase the exposure or attraction from Buyer Representatives to your property. If you choose not to offer compensation, some Buyers will not be able to purchase the home depending on their availability of Cash to Close. All factors should be considered when working on your Marketing Plan with a LoKation Realtor.
NOTE: Never say “asking” price, which implies you don’t expect to get it.
The Closing and Next Steps
The real estate closing is a crucial step in the home sale process where payment is transferred from the buyer to the seller. This meeting, often referred to as settlement or escrow, is managed by a closing agent who ensures that all financial transactions and paperwork are properly handled. The closing agent collects payment from the buyers, distributes the appropriate amount to the seller, and ensures the buyer’s title is officially recorded in local records along with any mortgage liens. Documents prepared by closing agents, title companies, lenders, and lawyers reflect the sale agreement and verify the interests of all parties involved. Buyers receive the title to the property, lenders have their loans recorded in public records, and state governments collect their transfer taxes.
The closing agent reviews the sale agreement to determine what payments and credits the owner should receive and what amounts are due from the buyer, and ensures payment of transaction costs such as taxes and title searches. Additionally, the closing agent handles adjustments like pre-paid or outstanding property taxes, ensuring fair compensation for both parties.
