Selling Your Home – Who? How? How Much?
Selling your home is an involved process that affects your family and your future. Before you begin this process, you'll want to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information. A few questions that we have all asked ourselves are:
Who Should I Call?
Homeowners today have a lot of choices when it comes to selling a home. They can run an ad in the paper, utilize the internet, hire a friend or relative in the real estate business, work with a so called discount broker or hire an attorney to affect the sale. However, as with other facts of life, you almost always get what you pay for! Therefore, because your home is one of the biggest investments you will make in your lifetime Team TxTrio recommends that you proceed with caution and hire a knowledgeable local Realtor® to protect that investment. While there will be some cost associated with that decision, in today’s litigious society you just can’t afford not to do it right the first time. Call Team TxTrio first to ensure that happens!
Team TxTrio's Full Service Approach Saves!
Unlike some of the sources mentioned above, Team Tx Trio looks after the best interest of its clients before, during and after the sales transaction. Our approach is based upon a successful track record which includes:
Market Research Saves You Time & Maximizes $$$! Prior to listing any property for sale, Team TxTrio conducts a through market analysis of the neighborhood in which your property is located. Our custom software allows us to determine the current competition, average time on the market, average selling price and other factors for your precise market area. Using this information to properly prepare and price your home for sale will help ensure that you receive the maximum price in the minimum time frame.
Listing & Advertising Saves Time & Maximizes Exposure! Once we mutually determine the right price and marketing strategy for your home, we will list your home at competitive rates and your property will be listed in the North Texas Multiple Listing Service within hours. Our affiliation with Keller Williams and the MLS gives Team TxTrio access to some of the best advertising sources in North Texas. The MLS alone provides detailed information about your property to thousands of licensed area agents with qualified buyers but that is just a start. During the past year, Team TxTrio has run an average of about 80 printed ads a month in Keller Williams Presents Magazine. This publication is distributed to the public from over 100 locations throughout the Metroplex. We also do spot ads in the Dallas Morning News and other local papers. In addition to written materials, Team TxTrio has made significant investments in the latest web based advertising media. With access through Google and other major search engines, our ads appear on some of the most frequently accessed Texas Real Estate sites on the internet, such as Harmon Homes, Homes,Com, Yahoo and more. We also have the capability to designate your home as a "featured property" on some of those sites to maximise exposure and helps speed your sale!
Negotiation Assistance Maximizes $$$ / Minimizes Risk! As a full service provider, Team TxTrio will assist and advise you when the offers begin to come in on your home. Our knowledge of current market conditions coupled with more than 40 years of team negotiating experience will help you determine how to maximize the return on your property investment. In addition, our knowledge of Texas State Law and expertise in the state contract forms will help ensure that any contracts you do accept will be legal and enforceable. Unlike the so called discount brokers, we won't find your buyer and then turn you loose to get into trouble on the contract side.
Acceptance & Closing Assistance Saves You Time & $$$ - Our full service approach also extends through acceptance and closing. Be it finding service providers to make repairs, running down final paperwork or scheduling closing at a time convenient to fit your schedule, Team TxTrio representatives will assist you until the transaction has been closed and the funds have been deposited in your account! In fact, it is not uncommon for us to continue some client assistance with local matters even after our sellers have closed the sale and left the area.
How Do I begin?
One of the best ways to begin is to determine the relative value of your home by having a qualified Realtor® perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). A CMA will compare your home with others of the same age and size which have sold or are for sale in your market area. Of course allowances must be made for appearance, condition and other local factors but a CMA will normally give you a good Idea of the value of your property in your neighborhood. In addition to price, a good CMA will also look at the average time a home was on the market before it sold. This information can be very helpful if a corporate move or other schedule driven criteria is critical to your sale.
Free CMA - If your home is in the DFW area and you are considering a move in the near future, Team TxTrio will perform a pre-listing CMA at no charge for your review. Simply fill out the necessary information on our Home Evaluation Page for a Free Report on your home.
