SELLERS
GUIDE STEP 6
- TAKING CONTROL OF THE SALE
Far too
often, people find themselves almost at the mercy of a third party
professional
who rides over them in a roughshod fashion just because they are not as
knowledgeable as the professional themselves. And too often the advice
is
driven purely by financial motives.
How many
of us have experienced a lawyer pushing us in a direction in a lawsuit.
Or a
car mechanic aggressively shoving us into a certain car repair.
It is for
this reason that this website is dedicated to you, our clients, and
provides as
much information and resources as possible. If you approach the home
selling
process intelligently and with confidence, you are much more likely to
sell
your home on terms acceptable to you.
Yes, approaching
the task of selling a home can be overwhelming and there's so much to
consider
but the more you know the more you will relax and enjoy the process.
After all,
selling a home should be an exciting time and not an occasion to bring
out the
stress pills.
Our role is
to be on your team – to work for you – while allowing you your own
freedom of
will and choices, without pressurising you into something you might
regret. It
is you selling the house – our job is to walk alongside you making sure
you are
protected and guided.
Here are
the two most important things to remember no matter where you are on
the road of home ownership:
Point
#1
You can
and should understand everything that is happening in the home selling
process.
There is
nothing that is so complex that it can't be easily explained to anyone
with
average intelligence. Do not allow jargon or new terms to throw you.
Just
because you don't apply for a thirty year mortgage once a week doesn't
mean you
have to take the first one that comes along. You'll need to learn some
new
terms, apply some new concepts and take the time to understand what
you're
getting into.
If, at any
point, something happens that doesn't make sense to you, simply demand
a full
and complete explanation from us. If we cannot provide it, we have
access to the
professionals who can. If it still doesn't make sense, keep asking
until you at
least grasp the fundamental processes.
Real
estate professionals have gone through extensive training and courses
to equip
them – so don’t try and compete – but you are entitled to knowledge and
to
express your opinion.
Take some time to properly read the articles on our website. They have
been carefully constructed so our clients can gain maximimum knowledge.
So pour some coffee, sit back and learn.
Point
#2
In the
world of real estate sales, YOU are the most important person in the
entire
process.
It's easy
to think that everyone else carries more weight than you. The agent
talks fast
and has an answer for everything. The lender may decline the buyers
loan
application, and on and on.
But the
truth is that you, the seller, are the one person in the transaction
that makes
it all happen. If you decide to not sell, the entire process comes to a
grinding halt.
So
flex your market muscle and take command of this process. Surround
yourself
with a team of professionals that you have confidence in and make them
work for
you.
