COMPARABLE MARKET ANALYSES

Bound Report                       $350.00

When a home owners begin to consider whether or not they want to sell the home, they first want to know what the home is worth. The homeowner can do the research him/her self by going to the town hall and looking at recently sold properties, and perhaps driving by these homes. Ideally, the seller would be able to walk inside the home to see the condition. Unfortunately, many times, it is impossible to get a good perspective of the homes and the market for someone who isn’t involved in real estate on a daily bases. Eventually, the home owners call a professional real estate agent to give them an idea of the home’s value. These real estate agents offer a free evaluation. Many times theses broker opinion of value are based on the real estate agent’s motivation to get to sell the property instead of what the property is worth. Beware when the agent asks you what you think it is worth. They are gauging their own answer. Home Team AdvantEdge Co., charges a fee and provides unbiased information on the salability and value of your home. You will receive information on what is going on with the market by looking at what is available for sale in the market, what is being sold and what has sold within the last few months.

MLS ADVERTISEMENT

MLS insertion (for 180 days)       $695.00

Virtual Tour                     $100.00

The Multiple Listing Service has been around for almost as long as the real estate professional. Even as late as a few years back, the public had no access to the MLS unless working with and through an agent. MLS is the single largest information base for properties for sale. Most buyers start and ultimately purchase a home that has been advertised on the multiple listing service. Although buyers who are not working with agents have access to the output of the information, sellers have no way to access the input of the information without a real estate agent. In order to sell you home, you need to get the word out. The easiest and best way for you to do it is by advertising your home on the MLS. The only way at this time to get access to the MLS is to utilize a real estate agent. We offer a flat insertion fee to the consumer. By MLS rules, Home Team AdvantEdge needs to be the contact person and as a home seller, you are required to offer compensation to the real estate agent who brings in the buyer.

Unlike other insertion companies, we will come out to your home, take down all the relevant information and photographs. You can also opt for a virtual tour to showcase your home. When you decide on the MLS advertisement service, all the work is done for you. We file al the paperwork on your behalf. When you choose this service, your home is featured in all websites MLS properties are advertised such as www.realtor.com .

HOME SHOWING

& schedule appointments (per appointment)       

Let’s face it. Consumers do not sell real estate for a living. Many do not know what to do and say when showing a home. They are not aware or come to wrong conclusions when someone is interested in the home. The do not know how to exaggerate the positives and minimize the negatives. Home Team AdvantEdge Co. offers a service to showcase your home. We will arrange for a showing and accompany buyers on their tour through your home. Many buyers feel uncomfortable looking at a home when the sellers are present and this will give them an opportunity to really feel “at home”. We will point out the best features and attempt to overcome the buyers’ critiques and objections. We will then follow up with the buyers and ask for their impression and feedback to give the seller powerful insight on the selling process.

 

BOOKING SERVICES

Cancel and reschedule any appointments when conflicts arise. We will coordinate walkthrough and closing appointments between all parties.

 

WRITE OFFER CONTRACT

When you find a buyer who wants to make an offer, what do you do? You can potentially purchase offer documents on line. But how do you make them say what you wish to say? You can have an attorney write your offer document, but this service at an hourly rate can become costly. We offer a service for a flat fee to sit down with the buyer and fill out the documents, disclosures, and addendums. We will not advice the buyer or the seller on what to offer only to present the buyer and seller with a legal and binding document outlining all the agreed terms. We will present the buyer and the seller with copies of the documents and forward the original to the seller or seller’s attorney.

You will have a benefit of our decade of experience and education to structure the offer with ideal situation for you.

 

HOME INSPECTION REPRESENTATION

Representation (up to 3 times)         $2,500.00

Once you have a legal, written contract with the buyer to purchase your home, your job is not done. You will still need to negotiate throughout the process. The biggest stumbling block in a transaction can be the Home Inspection and resolving issues that arise after the home inspection. You can choose to hire us to represent you just for this important segment of the transaction. We will attend the Home Inspection, review items of concern with the seller and help the seller negotiate on these items. We will help the seller to coordinate quotes from professionals and create a legal and binding addendum for the Purchase and sale document and forward it to attorney(s).

 

WALK THROUGH                 $250.00

CLOSING                       $150.00
