A Different Approach | Step by Step

First, we will conduct a preliminary interview and consultation to understand your goals, your timetable and any special circumstances you may have. This first interview is typically done in our office, so we can have access to internet data, printing and copying. In this first meeting we will cover a wide range of topics including: your financial situation, basic Richmond Virginia Real Estate Forms and documents and answer any questions you may have about the Home Selling process. We will also review the most recent Sales Data for the Richmond Virginia Real Estate market. By listening carefully to your needs, we pledge to enhance your experience as a seller and to identify the most effective strategies for selling your property.

On-Site Property Visit

Once we have completed the initial consultation, we will conduct an on-site visit to your property.  We will create a detailed property report of all the characteristics, features and specifications of your property. This will include verifying and documenting things like: size and square footage, number and type of rooms, amenities, utilities, school districts, building materials, upgrades, land and lot features, zoning and any other data about the property. Having detailed and accurate data on the property enhances the marketability for today’s savvy buyers. Many agents simply put your property in the MLS and hope that someone calls. We have a very different approach. We leverage ALL of the features and attributes of your home and try to identify the perfect buyer for your property. This way our marketing is targeted to a group of buyers who is most likely to want your property and pay top dollar for it.

Preparing Your Property for Market

First impressions count. Before inviting buyers into your property, you’ll want to be sure you’ve done everything to make it as attractive as possible. There are many ways to improve your chances of a sale and its important to maximize the best options you have available. We will:

An inspection generally presents a clear picture of the physical condition of the property and allows us to anticipate issues that may arise and become a negotiating point during the transaction.
