It may be surprising to learn that in todays
market not every home gets sold. In fact, some
agents fail to sell 25 of the homes they put on
the market. Why risk a 1 in 4 chance that your
home doesnt even sell? Our sales experience sh
ows that when you list your home with us, it gets
sold. And our negotiating techniques get you the
price your looking for.

73 Things Required To Sell A Home
1. Presentation
Well staged homes often sell at a higher price
than non-staged homes. To receive the highest p
rice, your home needs to be ready to show to the
public. The goal is to emulate a show or model
home. We will give you advice on staging your
home to appeal to buyers. Staging a home doesn
t necessarily mean spending more money. Simply
rearranging furniture, clearing out the clutter
and a good cleaning will help to achieve the
model home look.
