Preparation Analysis:

I personally review your home with both the Buyers and Home Inspectors eye in mind. Quick fixes that are identified before selling your home can pay off big time. This analysis identifies those quick fixes that I believe are prudent and make good sense to address before the home goes to the marketplace.

Strength and Weakness Analysis:

Overall location, home style, level of finishing and updates etc. all influence the Buyers decision whether or not to buy your home. My Strength analysis identifies the aspects of your home I feel will positively affect your home in the marketplace. These Strengths are then used to build our marketing platform and dialogues in order to maximize the effectiveness of our marketing platform in the marketplace.

At this time we are also acknowledging any negative factors of your home so that we can downplay or remedy those issues as much as possible. Some of these issues can not be changed such as your style of house, a corner lot or a location on a busy street. We have no control over these issues yet they have the potential to negatively affect the market price of the home and must be accounted for.

Since we have control over 72% what is seen of the home, most other factors can be remedied such as a worn roof, outdated/worn carpet, leaky faucets, water stains on ceilings etc. Some of these issues have a quick fix and if we can turn the negative feature into a neutral or even a selling feature of the home then it may require further exploration. We work with each homeowner to develop a cost to benefit analysis of each issue before we make an educated decision.

By identifying the strengths and weaknesses of your home this helps us in our highest price analysis because we have identified all the major factors that will influence the value of the home in the marketplace and what will be remedied prior to listing the home.

Free Professional Staging Consultation:

Professional Stagers are highly skilled artists that Geoff Smith brings in to give your home a complete review from both top to bottom and inside and out. Staging is about illusions and making that first impression count. Buyers make up their buying minds within the first few minutes of seeing and entering the house.

Staging goes beyond decorating and cleaning as it is about perfecting the art of creating moods. Staging makes your house look bigger, brighter, cleaner, warmer and more inviting. Good staging enhances the best features of the house while minimizing the negative aspects as much as possible.

Staging a house is presenting the dream by creating a series of impressions throughout the house so that Buyers fall in love with the home.





Free Highest Price Analysis:

The houses I sell are the homes you want to buy.

My goal is to strengthen the presence of your house so that when it competes in the marketplace –it beats the competition every time.

My highest price analysis shows you the true value of using a professional to prepare and sell your home in today’s marketplace. First we identify what your home would be worth in today’s market in its current state. Then we show you the highest price analysis assuming you make all the necessary preparation and staging recommendations agreed upon in our analyses.

This is my value demonstrated every time!!

Implementing The Plan:

After reviewing all of the above information we then work within each homeowners comfort level to establish a game plan and timeline to prep the house “For Sale”. For most homes this may be as little as 1 to 2 weeks. For some homes however, the plan maybe a bit more involving and involve some renovations or upgrades.

Whatever your situation, you will be guided and supported every step of the way by my team of professionals and network of professional trades people to get you the ultimate end result—the highest price for your home.

Whether you are planning on selling your home in a couple of weeks or in 6 months time, now is the time to have Geoff in to analyze, evaluate, review and implement the right plan for you to maximize the value of your home and your after tax dollars in today's marketplace.
