_____________Sellers Tips and Resources


What we Can Do for You

Help you set the listing price
-Starting with a good price is the first step for a successful sale. We can help determine the asking price by looking at comparable homes in the area.

Make suggestions on repairs and renovations
-We know what buyers look for when they tour a home. An agent can turn an objective eye on your home and tell you what problems stick out and what changes you should consider making.

Screen Potential Buyers
-We can help screen buyers to help determine which buyers are really interested.


Help qualify buyers
-You want buyers who are really looking for a home, and you also want buyers who can afford your home. We can financially prequalify the buyers to be sure they can afford your home.

Market the home
-We will add your home information to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), a computerized collection of all listed homes. Other agents use this service to find matches to their buyers.

Handle negotiations
-We are adept at negotiations and can keep the deal alive. We have the resources to show the buyer the true market value of your home.

Oversee the closing process
-We will help you manage the final hurdles up to and including the closing. We can also help spot any red flags and resolve any glitches that pop up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Should You Remodel?

Don't get carried away
-The most cost-effective improvements are to the kitchen or bathroom. For instance, if you convert a one-bathroom home into a one-and-a-half bathroom home, you'll expand your market of possible buyers. It's better to leave the extensive remodeling to the buyer.
-Be sure to "undecorate" your home. You want the buyer to focus on the home, not on the way you've decorated it. Remember, you aren't striving for a home that looks lived in, but one that looks ready to be lived in.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cleaning Up

Hire professional cleaners to do the initial, thorough scrubdown.
-Cleaning your home in preparation for selling it is an ongoing process. This will ensure that the home is in tip-top condition. If a home looks well-kept and clean, buyers are more apt to think it also has been well-maintained.

What repairs should you make?
-As you review the repairs on your list, first decide which ones really need to be made. If you notice, for instance, that the roof needs to be repaired, you can choose to have it repaired and pay for the new roof. Or you may note that the roof needs to be repaired and then price the home accordingly. You should submit this estimate with your disclosure statement. This way, the buyers will know that you are being up front about the problem if you acknowledge it right away instead of later when the problem turns up during inspection.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Collecting Information
(the buyer will be interested not only in how the home looks, but also in the maintenance and upkeep of the home.) Collect the following information:

Property tax statements

Utility bills

Warranties

Maintenance information

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do You Have to Disclose Information To The Buyer?

Depends on where you live
-Since 1984, most states have passed laws requiring the seller to tell the buyer about any substantial defects that the seller knows about. If disclosure is required, you should do so before the buyer makes an offer.
We'll provide a seller(s) disclosure form that conforms to MO Law.
-Basically, you must disclose any physical effects that would change the buyer's assessment of the property value. What about stigmatized properties? If the home is believed to be haunted or someone has been murdered on the property, whether you have to tell the buyer or not depends on the state.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Closing
(The closing may be held at the title company, attorney's office, escrow company, lending institution, or county courthouse, depending on local custom).

What the Buyer Has to Do
-Most of the preclosing work falls to the buyers. The buyers usually have to obtain financing, get insurance, and meet any other requirements of the lender. The buyers will also schedule a home inspection sometime before closing.

What You Have to Do
-There are a few important things that you will need to do at closing. Usually a termite inspection will be required. Most lenders will not approve the loan unless this inspection has been done.
-You may also need to have a title search done on the home. This is a search of the ownership history of the home, and will uncover any outstanding claims against the property.
-An escrow agent, title agent or attorney will need to be hired to help handle the closing. They will make sure that all documents are signed and that everything is in order for the sale to happen. We will be able to recommend someone to you.

Real Home Value Not Found Online Appraisers are cautioning consumers to be aware of the difference between online home valuation services and an eyes-on, hands-on appraisal. Internet home valuation sites, such as the recently-launched Zillow.com, and older sites like HomeGain.com and Domania.Com provide an estimated value of residential property based on information available largely from public records, but also other sources. While the valuations can be a handy house-to-house comparison tool, a source for past sales prices or as a guesstimate of home value growth, they won't pass muster with lenders who need a certified appraisal to grant a home loan. They also aren't reliable enough to use to set a sales price. That's because they can't pinpoint a specific home's current value. The sites use computerized data crunching tools called "automated valuation models," or AVMs. The crunching typically begins with public records -- tax assessments, deeds, demographics, property characteristics and sales price trends, but can also include data from mortgages, multiple listings and appraisals. AVMs run an address and ZIP code through mathematical models to compare the home with others recently sold in the same area. Historical trends may be considered and some of the most sophisticated can take into account a home's unique characteristics -- number of bedrooms, baths, etc. -- and compare it with similar properties. The results can vary widely, however, because: Each site interprets data differently. The websites don't all use the same pool of data. There's lag time before a sale is available as a public record that can be used in the data pool and those lag times vary from state to state and even from individual filing to individual filing. In some states property records are not available to the public. The Los Angeles Times recently reported that each of three online AVMs came up with a different valuation for one five-bedroom Pasadena, CA home. The valuations ranged from $351,177 to $700,000 and two of the valuations were value ranges, not specific values. Such a value spread is of questionable use, especially if you are trying to set a home's sales price. Even real estate agents' "comparable sales" or "comps" go further. Real estate agents use comps to set sales prices. Whenever possible, comps are culled from the most recent sales and listings in the same neighborhood as the house due to put up for sale. Typically the data is obtained from the local multiple listing service. The data can be insider information available only to real estate agents, including data that hasn't yet been filed as a public record or data that may not make it to public records. Comps are also homes as similar as possible to the home being valued, in terms of age, size, features, number of rooms, even floor plan and lot size. An appraisal goes even further and can include a visual inspection to account for factors even comps can overlook, including recent upgrades, modernized appliances, floor-plan utility, and the age and condition of not just the home, but specific areas in the home such as a basement or detached garage. "Internet valuation sites lack the experience and judgment of a professional appraiser," said Don Kelly, a spokesman for the Appraisal Institute. "They only give users a 'ballpark figure' of what their home is worth rather than a well-researched and unbiased opinion of value," Kelly added. Using AVMs to set real prices or value is a lot like expecting a word processor to crank out a writer, tax software to generate accounting prowess or a blog to conjure up a journalist. The real danger said Appraisal Institute president Richard Powers, "... is that someone will make a real estate decision based on the site rather than getting someone to perform an actual appraisal. A free Internet valuation might be adequate if you want a quick estimate, but when making decisions about your largest investment, there is no substitute for an appraisal."
