Selling

Selling your home is a big decision, not to be taken lightly and there can be many obstacles in the process. At Green & Co, we break down the home selling experience into a simple step-by-step process so that selling your home transforms from a daunting process into a cherished memory. Let's take the 1st step and get started...

HOME SELLING PROCESS

1. LETS GET TOGETHER

Our first meeting will begin with asking questions about your intentions and what comes next. Through a lot of listening I'll match your goals, fears and expectations and develop a plan to help us meet your needs and exceed your expectations.

Whether you’re selling your first or fourth home, I find that most sellers have the same fears and concerns. It’s crucial for us to address any questions you might have at this point, including:

  • Will your home sell when you need it to?
  • What is a competitive price for your home today in its current condition?
  • Should you make any improvements to your home to maximize return on investment (ROI)?

2. HOME VALUE

After the consultation, I'll will put together a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) which analyzes your neighborhood's housing data along with the condition of your home to create a value range and an expected sale price.

3. READY TO SELL

Within our market analysis, I'll provide you with our recommendations for repairs you may want to make to leverage your ROI. This may be as simple as fresh paint on the walls, or it could include upgrades like replacing countertops. I'll give you direct input to help you attract the right buyer, and will be there to support you throughout the process. Including anything from providing our top vendor references to assisting with project management and everything in between.

4. MARKETING YOUR HOME

During this phase, I delve into marketing your home, which includes:

  • Reviewing staging options and suggestions for your home
  • Having your property professionally photographed
  • Creating full-color brochures featuring your property’s highlights
  • Online marketing of your listing throughout all relevant real estate websites including NWMLS, Zillow, Trulia, Realtor, Seattle Green & Co, Windermere and many other satellite sites
  • Promoting the listing throughout our social media network via posts with both organic and sponsored reach

5. RECEIVING OFFERS

Hooray—you received an offer! Now what? At this point, I’ll help you measure the pros and cons of an offer including which parts are solid, and which components are unreliable. We will also highlight any potential red flags. We’ll guide you through the offer(s) to negotiate secure favorable terms, and ensure the new buyer has the ability to close on-time. When it starts to feel like that might not be possible we'll do everything we can to them get them back on-track.

6. ESCROW & CLOSING

Along with the guidance of a third-party escrow officer, your transaction will be managed daily by me to ensure a smooth closing. Once completed, your move will most likely require resources such as movers and relocation assistance. We are committed to continuing the relationship beyond the sale with our vast community of vendors, and are your go-to source for anything household related as you transition and begin your new journey!

Testimonials

Michael and his associate Caitlin were able to help be purchase a waterfront condo in Seattle. The home buying process was entirely new to me but Michael and Caitlin were knowledgeable and available to help me through to and beyond closing. Their real estate experience came in handy not only for information and references, but also in landing the offer. As I understand my offer was one among a handful and not the highest but was accepted by the sellers because of the promptness and professionalism of the my agents - their reasoning was something to the effect of, "this buyer seems like they will be the easiest to work with". Would highly recommend the pair to anyone searching for a home in the Seattle area.

"I'm so grateful I had the pleasure to work with Michael. He has been wonderful to work with and the utmost professional. He was able to rent out my house twice this year to great tenants and handled the whole transaction seamlessly. I look forward to working with him in the future."
