Learn Our 7 Step Selling Process Based on Decades of Experience

1

Getting Started

The first time we meet, we will discuss what your selling objectives are. This is a good time to ask questions, and I will give you an idea of what to expect during the selling process. We will discuss preliminary ideas for pricing and house preparations. I will provide you with a complete Comparative Marketing Analysis (CMA) for your property.

2

You're Ready to Sell Your Home

Once you decide you are ready, we will review and sign a standard Listing Agreement. We will also complete all of the mandatory disclosure forms. I will arrange for any necessary inspections.

3

Preparing Home/Property

Before putting your home on the market, we want to ensure it is most attractive to potential buyers. Knowing how to showcase and accentuate the best features of your home, without incurring unnecessary expense, is at the core of what I do.

I will provide you with a detailed Home Preparation Consultation and a Selling Tips Sheet. As we walk through your property, we will discuss minor repairs, curb appeal tips, staging, and making your property feel welcoming to potential buyers. If staging is necessary, I will share some options based on your property.

4

Determining List Price

Pricing your home competitively, at the start, will create more activity among brokers and buyers and lead to a more successful sale.

Establishing the value and list price for your property involves researching and comparing similar properties and weighing factors including location, condition, amenities, and market conditions. We will arrive at a competitive price aimed at generating strong buyer activity.

5

Marketing Your Home

Understanding where buyers come from allows me to market your property competitively. Creating excitement in the marketplace through consistent and aggressive marketing efforts and integrating online and offline efforts is key to a successful sale. My maximum exposure marketing plan includes: Comprehensive Internet marketing through our site, Realtor.com, Zillow.com, Trulia.com and hundreds others. 

Also, public open houses & brokers tours, yard signage, and property feature sheet; local newspaper ads; sales agent network; and customized property marketing. I will remain in constant communication with you and give you progress reports on showings and all activity.

6

Processing the Sale & Closing

The complexities of processing transactional documents will be made very easy for you through my continuous guidance and communication. I will review all offers and terms of each offer with you and negotiate on your behalf so that you obtain the highest possible price for your home while limiting your exposure and protecting your bests interests.

Once your home is in escrow I will prepare all seller required disclosures and reports, attend appraisal with recent comparables to support your purchase price, and make sure all contingencies and repair requests are removed in a timely manner per the contract. Communication between us is imperative and I can assure you that you will be informed every step of the way.

7

Close of Escrow

Congratulations, you have now sold your home! I will provide you with helpful moving hints and also be there to answer any questions. I am always available to help you should a question arise after the close of escrow and I want to ensure that you are 100% satisfied.

"Andy is an excellent realtor. I worked with Andy from the seller side of the real estate transaction and he helped us through the entire process. Most importantly, he was always friendly and demonstrated patience while addressing various real estate issues, numerous buyer inquires, and regulatory hurdles. I was impressed by Andy's steadfast determination in getting the deal done."

Sam Y.

"Andy helped us with both selling our home and buying a new one. He even helped us find a rental while we searched for our new home. It was a great experience working with him from start to finish. He is very knowledgeable and always advised us while keeping our best interest in mind. I would 100% recommend him to anyone that is looking to either sell or buy."

Lauren C.

"I actively had a realtor and was having issues. I had never bought a house before so I didn't know what to expect from my realtor but I was sure that the realtor I had prior to Andy was not performing in my best interest. So I googled around and called around and Andy always went above and beyond and I felt like I could genuinely trust him for anything."

Andrew S.

"Andy was perfect. Had great suggestions for prepping the house without doing things that were not going to make a difference. He understood the market and inventory levels to price our house at top dollar but still able to be sold. In fact two other realtors I spoke with wanted to list it 30K lower than we listed it for and 21K lower than the final sale price."

Matt R.

"Andrew Schmitt is an excellent realtor. He is very knowledgeable in his craft and provided exceptional insights to the whole process. He was very patient with us and our two little boys. Andrew went out of his way to always be available to us for questions, or concerns. He takes pride in what he does and he is outstanding at it."

John M.

"Typically, I do not leave reviews or anything but in this case, I had to make an exception. Andrew never had an issue working his schedule around our work availability and I have no hesitation in stating that he is an exemplary model as to how an agent should treat his/her client(s). We never heard a snippet of negativity from Andrew."

Andrew H.

"Right from the beginning Andrew Schmitt assessed and then proceeded to help us meet our needs to be able to put our house on the market. This was the first home we had ever sold and Andrew was a knowledgeable as well as calming influence throughout the process. We would not hesitate to recommend Andrew Schmitt as he went above and beyond our expectations."
