Everything I do, I do for you.  I create new ways that I can make your life and the selling process as easy and stress-free as possible.  I take the job of selling your home very seriously.

​

With EVERY listing, you will get the following (below) and a customized marketing plan created just for you and your selling goals.

YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING YOU HIRED ME TO DO AND I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW IMPORTANT YOU ARE TO ME.- Karyn

 

 

My goal is that you are so impressed and can clearly see how much I value you and your business are to me, that you keep coming back.  I can only achieve this by giving you as much quality service as possible and by keeping current with my education to better service you daily.

 

How would you like to meet?

 

We can have our initial meeting on a Zoom, Skype or Facetime and talk.  You can interview me.  I can find out your goals and based on our conversation, create a customized marketing plan of action to fit your selling needs and wants.  During this meeting, you can walk around your home and show me it.  This will give me a good idea on the upgrades, condition and help me put together a list of suggestions for you to do to get your home in order to sell.  If you like me, we will book a live meeting.

 

In a couple days you will receive a pre-listing package.  This includes useful information, tips, papers for you to fill out, for example, the things you love about your home.

 

Please note, there is a ton of work that goes on behind the scenes.  If you would like the complete list, please fill out the form below and I will get it to you ASAP.

 

 

 

-I research homes that are for sale or sold, including homes on the MLS, For Sale by Owner, Tax Sales and Distressed Sales. From here I also look at the homes that are on the market (your competition) and come up with a market value*; never inflated to get your business.  You will receive a marketing range, and based on your goals, we will decide where in the range will best fit your needs.  Here is a partial list of thinks I do for you.  

 

 

 

PRE-LISTING CHECKLIST

 

☐ WALK THROUGH HOME.  Take measurements, write in detail about each room, emphasizing on upgrades, special features, unique items….

 

☐ Take note on suggested improvements that will help with the sale of the home.  This includes, staging, de-cluttering, cleaning…. (I am a certified Home Stager so this will be a one-step process)

 

☐ We go over your home selling goals, that we previously discussed on our video meeting.  We also discuss the current market, suggested marketing price (and how I determined it) and your customized marketing plan, to ensure your selling needs will be met.  We sign the listing papers and I give you my Communication Guarantee.

 

☐ At your table, we create the list of things to do before the Professional Photographer arrives.  This could be as simple as moving a couch to another wall or packing a few items away.  From your selling goals to the items that need to be taken care of, we determine a good time to have your home go LIVE on the MLS.
