If
you are selling
your Boston home, a good Boston
real estate agent will help you set the right price, market the
home professionally, qualify the buyers, and expertly negotiate and
finalize the deal.
A
great agent has experience with recent sales and can walk a
tightrope, balancing optimism with realism and diplomacy with brutal
honesty. You'll paying for an agent's service, via commission, so you
owe it to yourself to find the right one.Round up good prospects. To identify prospective agents, you can ask for referrals from neighbors or friends or use the search tools on the internet. You want someone who is on their game, someone who will work assertively on your behalf but won't come on too aggressively, like a used-car salesman. That will turn off the buyers' agents, too.
Ask tough questions. You want an agent who is "intimately and passionately" familiar with your neighborhood. Each agent you interview should offer a comparative market analysis (a comparison of recent and pending sales of homes similar to yours) and know enough about the neighborhood and recent sales to explain why you should list your home for more or less than the neighbor down the street who sold last season.
Ask your agent where they live. An agent that lives and works locally will have their finger on the pulse of the market and be able to answer important questions about the community. They should at a minimum know the schools where they work. This is especially important in large cities, like Boston.
Talk with recent clients. Ask agents to provide a list of what they've listed and sold in the last year, with contact information. Past happy clients tends to make for future happy clients.
As an experienced professional who has helped many Boston residents sell their homes, I know how to handle every aspect of the sales process - from recommending improvements and fix-its that can shorten sales time and increase sales price - to strategically marketing and showcasing your home - to making sure everything's signed, sealed and delivered by the closing date.
As a premier Boston real estate agent, my specialty is working closely with my clients as a consultant (not just an “agent”) to provide the information and education critical to make informed choices—at every step throughout the process. Attaining your goals by providing you with comprehensive, high-quality service throughout the entire transaction is my top priority.
Bottom line, your satisfaction is the key to my success. Over 90% of my business comes from past clients, their friends, family and colleagues. Don’t sell your home without an experienced professional in your corner.
So whenever you’re ready to sell your home, please contact me and let's get started!
