The First Visit
We begin the process with a visit to your home to gather general information and to take measurements of the rooms. We'll be especially interested in features, systems and improvements that you have made. We would also like to know what prompts your decision to move. This visit should take between 30 minutes to an hour, and during that time we will be laying the groundwork for the marketing of your home...so we'll be asking you to think about things that you particularly enjoy in your home and what led you to choose this home over others.

Behind The Scenes
Once we have this information in hand, we can complete a comprehensive profile of the home and using additional details, such as tax records, that are available in our office. All comparable homes currently for sale and recently sold are taken from our database as well as similar homes also for sale in your market area. We will complete a detailed market analysis reflecting current market conditions and circumstances at this time. This work generally takes a day or two.

The Second Visit
Then we will want to have between an hour and two hours to meet with you...to introduce ourselves, review the pricing presentation, and answer your questions. The goal of this meeting is to provide you with enough information to make informed decisions regarding the pricing of your home and the choice of your Realtor.
