This section provides information to consider when preparing to sell your home.

As your home is most likely your most valuable investment, I highly recommend the following minimum requirements when choosing an agent to represent you:

1. Always use a Designated Seller's Agent.

As you will see in the section on Agency, there are different ways to be represented when selling your home. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you use a Designated Seller's Agent. By using a Designated Seller's Agent you have someone working in YOUR best interests.

2. I recommend you use an e-PRO certified Internet Professional.

An e-PRO is a REALTORŪ who has successfully completed the e-PRO training program for real estate professionals. Endorsed by the National Association of REALTORSŪ, the e-PRO course teaches professionals the nuts and bolts of working with real estate on-line: Web sites, e-mail, on-line tools, and most of all, what today's consumer really wants.

3. Ensure your agent discusses in detail the marketing plan that he/she will use to market your home. Make sure that the marketing plan meets your needs and desires. Remember, there are really only 4 reasons why a house will or will not sell. We will discuss those reasons and how to avoid them during my listing presentation.

My pledge to you as a Designated Seller's Agent is to work relentlessly in YOUR best interests to assist you in selling your home in the shortest amount of time and at a price that meets your expectations. I will use modern marketing techniques and I believe that you will be more than satisfied with my marketing plan and results. Feel free to contact me anytime and put me to work for you! -Thanks!
