Step One: Property Enhancement
Home Enhancement Checklist
During my first visit to your home, I will thoroughly tour your home and property. At this time, key features are noted, as well as suggestions on how to make your home more marketable to potential purchasers. Shortly after the visit, I’ll send an organized checklist to you via email to help you prepare your home for the market.
Recommendations for repairs & Improvements
At the first visit, I am going to tour your home with the mindset of a potential purchaser. If there are minor repairs or improvements that should be made in order to sell your home at market value, I will recommend those to you in order to maximize our marketability. We highly recommend getting a pre-listing inspection. This can prevent tremendous stress once your home is under contract.By getting a pre-listing inspection, it helps to uncover any potential issues that make come up early, so it doesn't interrupt the process!

The Internet Campaign
Did you know that as many as 94% of home buyers begin their search online? About 92% first see their home of choice online. The modern buyer wants as much information as possible before ever going to see a home. That’s why TSG works to give your listing a commanding internet presence.
Your listing will be posted to the Hometown Realty site and then presented to our growing professional network of more than 400+ Hometown agents and 100+ business associates.
We share your listing with our ever growing client base across all TSG social media—Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Realtor Groups, etc.
Your home will be seen on hundreds of real estate websites such as Zillow, Trulia, HomeFinder, Homes.com, and more! By using information from MLS, If the listing changes, the sites reflect those changes.
A Virtual Tour and YouTube video will be created from your professional photos and is linked across our sites and via QR code on the flyers placed at your home.
As interest is generated, TSG reaches out to agents of potential buyers at least once per week to schedule showings, receive feedback or provide answers to questions buyers may have.
Step Three: Clear & Open Communication Our Guarantee to you!
Weekly Reports: Every Thursday, I dedicate the majority of that day to market updates for my sellers. I’ll call you to go over what has sold in the past week in your area, to be sure we are accurate on our pricing. Additionally, I’ll email you all of the properties that are comparable to yours, so that you can see for yourself.
The TSG Difference: Our transaction coordinator is your partner in the process. She is there to assist you and is the day to day engine that ensures potential issues are tackled efficiently and professionally. This also ensures that our agent schedules will never be a hinder on the time frames or overall experience.
Step Four: Negotiating & Structuring the Sale
Offers
There are many other terms in a contract other than price. I will thoroughly review & present all offers for your consideration
All parts of a contract are a point of negotiation!
Have agent/buyer prioritize aspects that are most important to them(example: CC, closing date, $ off the list price)
Qualified Buyers
I will not waste your time with "shoppers"- this is where the flyer with the QR code really helps!
I will be sure that all potential buyers are qualified to buy your home
A loan pre-qualification is not a loan guarantee, but the chances of a prequalified buyer getting a loan are very favorable
No Surprises
During our review of an offer, I will give you a clear idea of what will happen & what could happen while we are under contract.
Approximate closing costs for sellers are $1,500. This includes items like: prorated taxes, grantors tax, termite inspection, deep preparation, etc. We will be as proactive as possible to be prepared for anything that may happen during the ratification period so that we close without any surprises. We will discuss a lot of those scenarios before they happen. Anticipate & initiate!
