There are critical steps involved with putting your house on the market—steps that protect your interests and help you get the most return from your investment.

If you’ve decided to sell your home, chances are you’re caught up in a host of emotions. You may be looking forward to moving up to a new dream house or facing the uncertainty of a major move across country. You may be reluctant to leave your memories behind or eager to start new adventures. Whatever turbulent feelings you’re experiencing right now, there are plenty of practical matters that need your attention. My goal is to help the whole process go more smoothly.

The advantages I offer as a professional agent are:

1. I help you establish a fair asking price for your home.

2. I promote your home to other agents and list your property on the Multiple Listing Service. A multiple listing service is a computer database that all real estate agents who subscribe to the service can access. Your home will get exposure to more than 6,000 agents throughout the Wasatch Front, one of whom may have the perfect buyer.

3. I create, pay for and place advertising for you.

4. I schedule appointments to show your home to prospective buyers even when you are not there.

5. I weed out buyers who will not qualify for a mortgage.

6. I can refer you to sources for insurance, inspections, legal counsel and financing.

7. I help you negotiate with the buyer.

8. I can make suggestions to help make your home more attractive to a potential buyer.
