Sellers: Services Initial Consultation Before your house is listed, Liz will meet with you to discuss the selling process. She will also do a room-by-room assessment of your home to give you advice on what can be done to best showcase your home. While some sellers paint, refinish floors, and take on other major projects, some clients do very little. She’ll advise you on which improvements will add value and, if appropriate, arrange for the work and oversee the contractors. Even if major improvements to the house are not on your agenda, she can recommend minor changes and inexpensive adjustments that will show your property to its full advantage. Staging Staging is the act of preparing a house for sale to make it appeal to the largest number of buyers possible, and it is one of the most important things you can do to add value to your home. Liz's extensive inventory of furniture and dècor, background in retail decorative home goods with Neiman Marcus, and natural flair, are the winning combination needed for a successful staging job. See Before and After photos of Liz's staging here. Marketing Liz's marketing combines high quality marketing materials and extensive advertising to bring in the greatest number of potential buyers. Bringing you the maximum price for your home is her goal! She contacts each agent who visits your house to get feedback, which she passes on to you, and she will send you a weekly marketing report, so you can keep abreast of interest in your house, and the market as a whole. Contract and settlement Liz is closely involved in every phase of the transaction including presenting all offers; helping to negotiate contract modifications through final ratification; and supervising each detail through settlement, which includes inspection(s), financing and any other contingency periods; coordinating information with the settlement attorney; and assisting in any manner to ensure a smooth settlement.
