Salza Team Listing Presentation – How we sell your home!

1.  Setting the List Price

We look at your neighborhood value set including the sold and available homes, in the current market and decide where your home fits 

Once we select your price range, I’ll plug that info into a "net to seller" aka your net proceeds sheet. It shows a good estimate of what you’ll net at the time of sale.

Watch: How to Price Your Home Video Series  (9 short videos on what goes into setting a list price):

 2. Analysis:

After setting your price range, I'll plug that number into our "net proceeds sheet" taking into account your mortgage, other outstanding home debt, and estimated closing costs. We want you to have a complete look at the numbers.

3.  Preparing your Home

Staging: After setting a home value, I’ll schedule a visit with my stager to walk and talk about ways to make your property show it’s best.

Here’s an example from Brooke Clayton of My Square Nest Staging:

1. Front of house: Weed rocks along driveway, remove all decor except pot, put pot in place of small bench

2. Kitchen: Bring small table and 2 chairs from basement for dining area

3. Livingroom: Leave Plant from Kitchen, replace printer with the plant, Side table next to fireplace, use as front entry piece, Decor for fireplace could be the blue/green vase on top and/or milk jug on hearth

5. Bathroom: Leave a nice colored hand towel

6. Bedroom 1:  Place plant from basement in window 

7. Bedroom 2: Leave corner hutch with plant from basement on top.

It is NOT uncommon for these satellite websites to have the incorrect number of beds or baths for example. We certainly apologize for their misinformation but unfortunately, we cannot not change it.

We need EVERYONE’s help to sell your property and thus we would HIGHLY encourage you to share this email with your friends and family.

Thank you for the opportunity and trusting in me,

Mike

5. Under Contract!

Weekly Contract “Check-ins” via email:

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Joni and Mike Suther are under contract! Woo Hoo!   I’ve copied Nikki Schaefer and Mallory Lyons from Chicago Title on this email – Joni and Mike, you will start to see emails from them soon (if not already!).

The Suther’s next steps:

Attached is a pdf of your contract and the counter.  Pages 1-4 of the contract are especially important as they list your dates and deadlines.  Some of our clients like to print these pages out for their reference.

Please respond to all with a quick “got it” so we all know you’ve received this important email and respond to item #3 about Off-Record Title Issues.  Thank you!

Important upcoming contract items:

Most of the deadlines in the contract require no action from you!  The Buyer has the majority of the responsibility as we move forward.  However, there are a couple of important dates for you.  The Inspection Termination Deadline of Dec 6.  If the buyers find anything that they feel they want to “object” to regarding the condition of your property, they have to let us know in writing by this date.

Please note that it is common practice for you not to be present during the inspection.  You do not want the liability of distracting the inspector.  It is also common for the buyers to show up for part or all of the inspection.  To minimize some of the common findings, it’s a good idea to make certain that:

-gutter downspouts are down

-furnace filter is changed

-clothes washer, clothes dryer, dishwasher and any other appliances that are included (as they must be inspected) are empty

-smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are operational

-electrical panel is not blockedHere are other next steps moving forward:

1. Make certain the inclusions/attachments stay attached per the contract:  “Range/Oven, dishwasher, microwave oven, and refrigerator currently in use in the kitchen”.

2. The title work will be provided by Chicago Title and they will send it to the Buyers.3.  Have you created any off-record title matters we need to disclose to the buyers?  If so, we need to provide this by the Off Record Title Deadline of Dec 8  to the buyers.  These are rare but we like to ask just in case. What is an “off-record title” matter?  Examples could be things like: existing surveys in your possession pertaining to the property, easements, liens or other title matters (any type of oral agreement between neighbors or friends to allow the use of land or property) that are not part of the public record.  You can respond to this email with your answer!

4.  Closing is currently planned for Dec 22.

5.   For any appointments (inspection, appraisal, final walk through, etc…) you will be contacted by our office.  (Similarly to how you were contacted for showings.)  We will also continue to market your property for backup offers just in case anything were to happen to this offer.6.  Due Diligence Documents: (DDD):   Go through your “house files” and gather up any items to share with the buyers.  You don’t need to spend a great deal of time on this  – whatever you can easily find. Please place the items in a folder and leave it on the kitchen counter for the buyers to review during the inspection.

Per the contract these are the type of items to include:  “Any and all surveys and/or warranties if in Seller’s possession.”

7. The contract amount is $600,000. Before spending your proceeds, we advise you to have an attorney review the contract and have your accountant review how the proceeds will impact you financially and with the State of CO and the Fed. We want you to have a full view of the impact of the sale prior to getting to the closing table.

That’s a pretty good list!  When you leave for the last time, everything not attached will be taken with you, trash empty and floors will be swept and vacuumed, fridge empty and the home should be generally clean and ready to move into. Leave house specific items (garage door opener, spare keys, manuals etc) in a drawer in the kitchen.  Please remember to keep the house warm (for the pipes) to avoid possible issues.

Please let us know if you have any questions and CONGRATULATIONS!  Last, we will keep a running list of “follow-up items” to keep us on track with things as they come up!
