A special program of Jerry
Wettstone, Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES).
|
Many seniors have not been in the real
estate market for a long time, and are uncertain as to how to proceed. Facing a
move from the long-time family home can be fraught with lots of emotions. They
often have the bulk of their personal wealth invested in real estate. That's
why it's so important for them to make wise decisions and have an advisor that
they can trust whether they are selling their home or buying replacement
housing.
As a Senior Real Estate Specialist, I have
the necessary skills, experience, and patience to answer questions and assist
in reviewing the options available when selling a family residence. The key
features of our program are:
- We will assist in reviewing the options
available, including an alternative cost analysis of selling vs. retaining the
family home.
- I will arrange for a professional
appraisal of the home at a discounted price, or will prepare a free Comparative
Market Analysis. If we are retained to sell the home, the cost of the appraisal
will be credited back to the seller at closing.
- We will develop a checklist of pre-sale
items needing attention in the property to assure a faster sale for a higher
price. Cost estimates will be obtained and a joint decision will be made on
these items. I will coordinate all the details to get the work done promptly
and on-budget.
- I will provide a discount commission
price for the sale of the home if the list price is within 5% of the appraised
or comparative market value.
- I will offer a discounted HMS home
warranty on the property that has proven to yield a better offer price and a
faster closing.
- I will guarantee a full range of
professional marketing steps, at its sole expense, until the property is
sold.
- I will coordinate the removal of the
contents and preparation of the property for a smooth closing as required.
- The advice and counsel of the owner, or
coordinating relatives will be obtained and they will be provided regular
written or oral progress reports.
