Exclusive Listing Services with our Comprehensive Home Marketing System

Selling real estate is much more involved than putting a for sale sign in the front yard and placing the listing in the MLS database. Buyers today have many avenues to search for homes that are for sale and most serious buyers do their homework. Our goal is to maximize the presentation of your home to these buyers so that you make a great first impression. If the buyers are excited about what they see they will want to come see it for themselves and offer you an acceptable price.

1. Before you put your home on the market:

   • Once you have decided to sell your home, we will come and preview the home. We will verify the square footage and document all of its features, updates, neighborhood information, community highlights and all positive, as well as negative aspects of the home
   • We will then provide you a professional Comparative Market Analysis to help you determine the asking price of your home. We will help you identify your selling goals in terms of finances, timing and any other factors that may affect the sale of your home. We will fully explain the Listing Agreement, its addenda and all aspects of the sale process, right down to the transferring of the deed
   • It is important to accentuate the positive and take care of any potential objections up front. If there are any repairs, updates, upgrades or other work that needs to be done to improve the marketability of your home, we will review our suggestions with you. If need be, we can help you arrange for contractors to assist you
   • We will help you decide how to stage your home for maximum showing appeal. It may be as simple as "de-cluttering" a room or closet, re-arranging the furniture for flow, or hiring a professional stager to stage (or anything in between)
   • Once your home is ready, we will have a professional photographer take interior and exterior photos, as well as photos of any neighborhood amenities for our marketing materials (at no cost to you)

2. Putting your house on the market:

   • We will enter your home in the Triangle Multiple Listing Service (TMLS) and submit the maximum number of photos allowed
   • A For Sale Sign will be placed in the yard, and an electronic security lock box will be installed on the front door
   • A photo flyer box will be placed near the For Sale sign and will be kept stocked with full color photo flyers outlining the main features of the home, providing the sales price and contact numbers for us, as well as a QR code
   • Within 24 hours your home will be a Featured Property on our NC Realty Solutions website with multiple photos and detailed information. Any scheduled open houses will be advertised, as well as informational links to the community, schools, county and city governments, and other activities that may be of interest to a potential buyer outside of the area
   • Within 48 hours we will have placed a "Home Information Book" in the house, which provides further information about the property, if available. This may include a copy of the survey, the NC Residential Property Disclosure, information on the schools, covenants, neighborhood, taxes, transportation, area maps, and any special features or updates of the home
   • We will also place colored brochures in the home for potential buyers to take with them that will feature much of the same in-depth information as the Home Information Book. This keeps your home in front of the buyer after they have left!
   • We will personally e-mail all of the top buyer agents in the target area and provide them with a direct link to your listing and/or flyer. All they have to do is click on the link and view your home instantly
   • A photo flyer of your home will be sent via an email campaign to most of the active licensed agents in Wake County to alert them about your home. Some agents search for properties with very strict criteria and may be missing your home by accident. We want to capture the attention of as many buyer's agents as possible since this is the most likely way your home will sell

3. During the sale process:

   • All showings will be tracked electronically through a centralized, web-based showing service called ShowingTime. You will be able to read feedback on your home from the agents that submit it. If we do not automatically receive this feedback, we will attempt to contact the showing agent directly to find out what they and their buyers thought of the home
   • If you wish to hold your home open, we will arrange for this as often as you wish
   • We will constantly review our marketing system with you to ensure we are doing all we can to reach your target market

4. Reviewing and Negotiating an Offer to Purchase:

   • Once an offer is received we will review the entire contract with you to ensure that you understand all of its implications. In addition, we will review your selling goals and begin negotiating on your behalf
   • Once we have negotiated the contract, we will stay on top of the various dates and aspects of the contract, working to the closing date
   • If any repairs are needed, we can help you find any contractors that may be needed and verify that the repairs are completed on time
   • If you need assistance with movers, or any other relocation services, we can help you find the best resources to make your move as smooth as possible
   • We can help you determine which real estate attorney will prepare your Deed and Waiver of Lien, and make sure these and all other documentation are executed and ready for closing
   • Before the closing, we will review the Closing Disclosure with you and verify that the information is correct. We attend all of our closings with/for our sellers to ensure that all goes well until the deed has been recorded and the home has officially transferred in title

5. After the Closing:

   • We will remove the lock box, for sale sign, flyer box and any marketing materials that may still be in the home
   • Records on the sale of your home will be maintained by NC Realty Solutions at no charge. If you should need anything from this file, simply let us know
   • If you have any questions after the closing, you can always contact us
