Real estate transactions are among the biggest financial investments most people make in their lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $100,000. If you had a $100,000 income tax problem, would you try to handle it without an accountant? If you had a $100,000 legal question, would you handle it without an attorney? Buying real estate without the professional assistance of Castle View Real Estate could cost you thousands.
The brokers at Castle View Real Estate have a Fiduciary responsibility. The fiduciary responsibility is to you. That means you have an expert who looks out for your best financial interests, someone contractually bound to do everything in their power to protect you. That’s big!
Here are a few reasons to choose Castle View Real Estate when selling your home.
1. When selling your home, we can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace. Price, financing terms, and the condition of competing properties are key factors in selling your property at the best price, quickly, and with minimal hassle.
2. Getting your home ready to sell. We can often recommend repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly enhance your property’s sellability. In fact, we have experienced home stagers if you need that resource.
3. We market your property to other real estate agents and the public. In most cases, a real estate broker other than your listing broker will bring in the buyer. We act as the marketing coordinator, sharing information about your property with the public and other real estate brokers through a Multiple Listing Service, cooperative marketing networks, broker open houses, and many other marketing avenues.
4. We know when, where, and how to advertise your property. Many people believe advertising sells real estate. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® studies show that 82% of real estate sales are the result of broker contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends, family, and personal contacts. When Castle View Real Estate markets a property, we connect you with our network of contacts.
5. We will help you negotiate. Negotiation involves many factors, including but not limited to price, financing, terms, date of possession, and often the inclusion or exclusion of repairs, furnishings, or equipment. The purchase agreement should provide a period of time for you to allow the purchaser to complete appropriate inspections and investigations of the property. We will guide you through this process.
6. We will guide you through the closing process and make sure everything flows together smoothly. Between the initial sales agreement and closing (or settlement), questions may arise, and the required paperwork alone is overwhelming for most sellers. Your Castle View Real Estate broker is the best person to objectively help you resolve any issues and move the transaction to closing (or settlement).
