Welcome to Mike's Seller Area!
An Introduction to Selling
This introduction is a general guide to the selling process and to DistinctionProperties.Com's Seller section. Please read this introduction at your leisure. I invite you to visit my other seller information pages. Are you facing special or difficult circumstances including estate sales, divorces, foreclosures, etc.? If so, please accept this special invitation to review a page made especially for you by clicking here. While property owners sell their properties for a host of different reasons, they all want a quick and smooth sale at the highest possible price. I understand that your needs are unique and am delighted to assist you in the sale of your property. If you have any questions, please click here to contact Realtor Michael Kwiatkowski. I am happy to assist! Guarantee I understand that you may have had unpleasant experiences with prior real estate agents. Instead of hiding behind binding ironclad contracts, I want to offer you the ability to fire me if you are unhappy. Coldwell Banker offers their associates the option of participating in the Seller Services Guarantee program. This is an agreement between the agent (me) and the clients I serve (you). If you are unhappy with my service, you may fire me within 24 hours of giving notice. For obvious reasons, most agents do not want to participate in this program. However, I welcome the chance to guarantee my performance and service. Please click here to review a copy Realtor Mike Kwiatkowski's Seller Services Guarantee in .pdf (Adobe Acrobat) format. Determining property value A property's market value is determined through a Strategic Pricing Analysis (SPA). Different from the common garden-variety Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), a SPA considers multiple factors in order to determine the value of a particular property. These factors include:
Net proceeds While list price and selling price are important, the number that matters the most is the net proceeds. Calculating the net proceeds of a sale can be difficult, but I want to make the process as easy as possible. Please click here to access Realtor Mike Kwiatkowski's Estimated Net Proceeds Calculator. Condition How much does the condition and the "look" of the property affect the final sale price? Tremendously. Your property's curb appeal sets the tone for all potential buyers. Is your yard unkempt or manicured? Is your property in good repair? Is there a fresh coat of paint? Cleanliness is also exceedingly important. Give your property a complete and thorough cleaning. If necessary, hire a service to do the cleaning. Have the carpets been professionally cleaned? Pay special attention to the kitchen and to all bathrooms, as these are the main areas that will sell or not sell a buyer on your property. Stage and pre-pack! The goal of staging and pre-packing is to make your property look like a model home. Hold a rummage sale or donate excess items. Many charities offer free pickup for bulk donations; use this to your advantage. While it's acceptable to box excess items and put them in the garage, it's even better to store them into an off-site storage unit. Pretty as a picture is your goal! I am familiar with what many homebuyers seek in today's market because I work with buyers as well as with sellers. I always assist my clients in improving their home's curb appeal and am pleased to offer staging recommendations. I am pleased to answer your questions about staging and curb appeal; please click here to contact Realtor Mike Kwiatkowski with your questions!. Should I repair the..? Some sellers do not want to put any money into a property and want to sell the property in its current condition. While this may be acceptable, you should consider:
Marketing is vitally important and will make or break your home sale. It is so important that I created a separate page dedicated to marketing. Please click here to review Realtor Mike Kwiatkowski's marketing page. Relocation Selling a home due to relocation is difficult. Not only must selling tasks be accomplished in a time crunch, but the sale may have occur after you have left town. I created a page dedicated to my relocating seller clients.
