Interested in selling your real estate in Summit County?

Would selling 50% of your vacation home allow you to pay off your mortgage, free up your equity and likely not impact how often you use it?  Click here for "50% fractional ownership."

When you enlist the services of a real estate broker, you are actually getting two people in one. First, and most obvious, you want someone to effectively market your property. Second, you want a professional to guide you through the maze of legal paperwork, inspections and inevitable hitches to complete the sale.

Marketing Your Property

My goal is to make it impossible for a serious home buyer to not know about your property. Effective communication to the appropriate potential client base is the key to your sale. I will present your property to the marketplace broadly and in its best light. As part of my marketing program, I will:

• Assist you in correct pricing with a free competitive market analysis (CMA) This is a comparative analysis based on current or historical sales information retrieved from the Summit Association of Realtors Mountain Region MLS computer system. Different geographic locations and time periods can be used to better focus on comparable sales. A thorough, well-researched market analysis results in selling property very close to the asking price and not experiencing appraisal problems.
  
• List your property in the Summit Association of Realtors Mountain Region MLS which provides both computer and hard copy information. Through this vehicle, other realtors can show you property to their perspective buyers.
  
• With your approval, install both a lockbox to encourage other agents to show your home and place a "For Sale" sign on your property along with an information box.
  
• Inform my personal, rather large, client base about your property.
  
• Direct mail information to potential customers.
  
• Include your property in various local real estate publications such as The Real Estate Book, Mountain Homes Illustrated and Homes and Land in Summit County.
  
• Circulate fliers by means of internet describing your property to other real estate offices.
  
• Hold realtor and general public open houses.
  
• Advertise in newspapers.
  
• Place your property into web marketing via my web site (buysummit.com) in the Great Deals" section and via realtor.com which includes every listing in the Mountain Region MLS.
  
• Provide you with regular progress reports and feedback relative to showings and comments received.
  
• Provide you a marketing plan to include recommended marketing actions and a schedule of events outlining those marketing steps mutually agreed upon.
