You got my letter!
There are 4 steps to get this done
Thanks for your interest in selling your home to my buyer.I want you to fully understand the 4-step process of how you'll actually get a legitimate, firm offer from a serious buyer completely off-market, since it's VERY DIFFERENT than how most real estate agents work.
1. Initial Intake Call
My assistant will gather basic information about your house to make sure what we see on the MLS, deed record, assessor's website, and on Zillow is accurate. They cannot answer licensed questions.1. How many bedrooms (must have a door, closet, and window)?2. How many bathrooms (must have a toilet and a shower/tub)?3. How many partial bathrooms (must have a toilet and sink)?4. Above-ground square footage (don’t include basements, non-permitted additions, or non-heated square footage)?5. How many floors (above ground, don’t include the basement)?6. Is there a basement?7. What year was it built?8. Is there a pool?9. How soon do you need to sell (ASAP, A few weeks, a few months, just wondering)?10. Condition of the kitchen?*11. Condition of the main bathroom?*12. Condition of the living room?*13. Condition of the home exterior?*14. Are you a part of a homeowner association? Monthly HOA Fees?15. Are you in an age-restricted or gated community16. Do you have leased or financed solar panels?17. Are there any known foundation issues?18. Any fire damage?19 Any well water?20. Are you on a septic system?21. Is this a manufactured home?22. Do you also need to buy a home?-Fixer-upper, dated, standard, high-end, or luxury
2. Preliminary Strategy Call
My assistant will then schedule a 3-way phone call with me to discuss your price, timeline, improvements, and contract terms. This is a licensed conversation, and my assistant will take notes. I will also tell you about my buyer(s) within the boundaries of Fair Housing Laws. Please work with me to put a deal together that's win-win for everyone. My job is to reduce uncertainty and bring a plan so you are safe, informed, and achieve the outcome you want.I will tell you…- What your home is worth
- How quickly it will sell
- What should be done before selling
- What we’ll do to get it sold
- How you can get more money
- The costs of selling
- What happens if problems come up
- How you’ll be communicated with
- The step-by-step process
3. In-Person Home Assessment
If you like the plan, I will schedule a time for my estimator to see your home to assess its structure, major systems, and identify necessary repairs. We check for items that are broken, in poor condition, or affect safety, structure, and functionality (HVAC, roof, plumbing). They will also take photos and video to show the buyer. These are confidential and will not be shared publicly.These are the forms my estimator will use. This is what buyers want to know before writing you an offer without physically touring the home.
I also need your consent to bring you an off-market offer...
Once I have all this research back and your permission to solicit off-market offers privately, I’ll need a few days to get your offer written up. I’ll also tell everyone on my VIP Buyer List who expressed interest in a home like yours. Maybe I can get you more than one offer. My job is to put this deal together where everyone wins. The more you help me, the more I can help you.
4. Review Your Offer (and options)
I will call you when I have your offer(s) ready. We can meet on Zoom or in person. I’ll show you your net proceeds with the benefits and risks of accepting it. If you like the offer, you'll sign it, and I'll handle the whole closing process.I’ll also show you all your options now that I have more facts. There are 12+ ways to sell a home. Each way has a different risk/reward profile. I am familiar with them all. I’ll help you understand what I think is best for you now that I fully understand your situation, the nuance of your particular home, and most importantly, what your net proceeds will actually be after all costs.Here are a few of your options:Traditional listing
Coming soon listing
Convenience offer
Off-market investor sale
Hybrid listing
Buy-before-you-sell
Fix-and-list (concierge)
Seller financing
Wholesale assignment
Bridge solutions
Partial interest sale
