First Impressions
First impressions are everything. Buyers today often see the homes before their agents do so it's critical that everything is buttoned up before the marketing period begins. |
|
|
Broker's Tour
Your market debut starts with a Broker's Tour where we will bring the top agents in the area to preview your home for their clients. We will provide catered lunch to draw attendance - we want people to experience what makes your home special. |

Sunday Open House
The Sunday Open House often is the first place your potential buyer will experience your home. We want that to be a lasting impression. When possible, we request our clients to leave Wifi networks up and running so that we can install Sonos sound systems throughout the home. We want to create an ambiance where our guests decide to linger. We provide bottled water and on occasion other refreshments for our Sunday guests. Guests will be provided with full color brochures along with accurate and thorough information about the property. Whether it is Aaron or a member of his team hosting the Open House, our unified goal will be to up-sell the many benefits of your unique home. |

Factors to consider aside from the price:
- Who is the lender and do they consistently deliver
- Who is the buyer's agent and what is their local reputation
- Is the contract well written or are there professionalism concerns
- What is the buyer's story and how strong is their commitment
- What are the contingencies and how can we prevent the deal from going south
- Have they done their homework or is this just an emotional reaction - Ideally we want both!
