WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT TO HAPPEN DURING THE IN HOME CONSULTATION WHEN MIKE KLIJANOWICZ IS YOUR REAL ESTATE AGENT?
TOURING YOUR HOME!
Mike Klijanowicz will set up the FREE home seller consultation around your schedule and will arrive on time for the appointment. Mike will briefly go over his agenda with you for the entire appointment and then start by taking a tour of your home with you. As you go through your home with Mike, he will give you detailed expert advice for each room in your home on how to stage and decorate it in a way to make it the most appealing to the buyers eye. He will be brutally honest with you and will point out the positive and the negative aspects and features that your home offers. Mike has a vast network of various experienced contractors, electricians, plumbers, handymen, landscapers, etc. in case there is an improvement that you are considering completing but can’t do it on your own. He will also provide you with a FREE HOME SELLERS CHECKLIST during his visit to help you prepare your home for sale just prior to the listing appearing on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and is then downloaded to thousands of other websites all over the internet.
ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS AND ADDRESSING YOUR CONCERNS!
Once the home tour is completed Mike Klijanowicz will sit down with you and go over a list of various questions with you to help determine the best course of action for you depending on your own personal situation. He understands that people sell for hundreds if not thousands of different reasons and that every transaction with every one of his clients is unique. The most common reasons most people sell are: upgrading to a larger home, downsizing to a smaller home, getting divorced, relocating for work or family, building a new home, moving into a retirement home, selling a family members estate, short sales because they can no longer afford their home, and even selling to make a profit as a real estate investor.
DISCUSSING YOUR HOME’S CUSTOMIZED MARKETING PLAN!
After Mike Klijanowicz learns what your current needs and desires are for selling your Baltimore County or Harford County, Maryland home, he will go over his extensive 10 Step Marketing Plan which shows everything that he does for ALL of his sellers so they can rest assured that they are getting maximum marketing exposure for their homes to as many possible prospects 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. As part of his marketing plan presentation, he will explain everything he does from the beginning to the end: taking the photos, editing the photos, writing the remarks, advertising your home all over the internet, creating full color flyers for the inside and outside of your home, advertising in the local homes magazine on a full color glossy page in every single issue with a distribution to Baltimore County, Harford County, and Cecil County, discuss tips on how to hold successful open houses and what you should do when your home is being shown, explain his automatic online follow up feedback program from ALL of the showings and explain how all of his sellers have online access to see what the other agents and buyers are actually saying about their homes, discuss his online marketing plan including how to best utilize the latest in forms of social media to market and sell your home, and much much more!
DETERMINING THE OPTIMUM LISTING PRICE AND REALISTIC SELLING PRICE!
After you learn about how Mike Klijanowicz will successfully market your Baltimore County or Harford County, Maryland home for sale, Mike will go over a customized Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) Report the he has prepared for your property. TO REQUEST YOUR FREE ONLINE HOME EVALUATION REPORT NOW CLICK HERE and Mike will complete an online version and email it to you within 24-48 hours. It is important to note and Mike is required to inform you that this Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report is NOT an official appraisal which shows you an actual value of your property. Instead, it is a tool that will show you what ALL of the homes in your immediate area have actually SOLD for within the past several months. It will show you detailed information about:
-
When the comparable homes sold or their closing date!
-
How long the comparable homes were on the market!
-
What the original listing price was compared to the final selling price!
-
How much of a sellers contribution towards the buyers closing costs was given, if any!
-
What the approximate square footage of the home was!
-
How many bedrooms and bathrooms the comparable homes had!
-
Many other details of the comparable homes and their transactions!
Once you have had a chance to look at ALL of the most comparable sales in your immediate area, Mike will give you his advice on where he thinks you should price your home for sale in today’s market. Pricing a home is not just based entirely off of the direct comparable homes that have actually sold. You must also factor in the overall condition of the property compared to the comparables as well as what the current market conditions are at the time you are selling. If you are selling during a buyers market (where there is a lot of inventory on the market and homes take a long time selling), then you need to factor in that you will most likely not be getting a full priced offer and are going to have to make some concessions. If you are selling during a sellers market (where there are more buyers than inventory available and homes are selling within a matter of hours or days), then you need to factor in that you may be getting multiple offers over the listed sales price and have a plan in place on how to select the best possible offer for you and your families situation.
Ultimately the listing and selling price of your home that you are willing to accept is up to YOU, not Mike, since it is your money! Mike will NOT agree to take a listing that is priced too high if he feels that it will not sell in the current real estate market. He doesn’t get paid any money if your home doesn’t sell and it doesn’t help his reputation in the business or by getting any referrals from you in the future if your home never sells.
DETERMINING YOUR ESTIMATED PROCEEDS FROM SETTLEMENT!
Once you have decided on your listing price and have a realistic expectation on what you may be able to sell your Baltimore County or Harford County, Maryland home for in the current real estate market, Mike Klijanowicz will go over a preliminary net sales sheet with you that will show you approximately what you can expect to walk away with after the sale is completed. Based on what you owe on a number provided by you, Mike will carefully calculate the other fees that will be associated with selling your home so you know an approximate bottom line number before you even sign the listing agreement. Other fees associated with the sale of your home may include: transfer taxes, buyer closing cost help, payoff charges by your lenders, banks, or third parties, courier fees, FHA or VA fee required by the seller if your buyer is using FHA or VA financing, HOA (Home Owners Association) fees, Condo Association fees, and others. There may also be some credits due to you in your favor as well like pro-rations for taxes that were pre-paid, pre-paid condo fees, pre-paid home owners association dues, as well as any money still owed to you from your escrow account. This is the most important number that you need to know up front because that is the amount that you will either be receiving or bringing to the table for the sale of your home to be completed!
