Thinking of moving on? Selling a home is the largest
business transaction most of us will ever make. The selling
process can be very
complex and time consuming, however with the aid of my services,
be certain that you will come away completely satisfied and
stress free.
I know the market and provide information
on past sales, current listings and a marketing plan. As
a local agent, I can better serve your needs.
I understand and am familiar with the local market conditions,
the local prices, and what's hot or not in your community.
One of my main responsibilities is to arrive at an accurate
estimate of value for your home, so you can be assured you
will receive a detailed evaluation and analysis
of every part of your home. My work doesn’t stop
there, as I will fully investigate the real estate market
and compare
your property with similar listings to make sure that you
receive the highest amount you deserve for your home.
Why list with Nela Horton?
Nela makes selling your home a much easier process than
you might expect. For each property I list, there is a process
that I follow:
The initial interview
During the interview,
you will be presented a complete market analysis of your
home and market area. I will let you know what, if
anything, needs to be done to your home to guarantee
the
highest possible sale price and to compete effectively with
other homes currently on the market.
Listing your home with Nela
Once we complete the listing agreement forms, my marketing
plan will go into action.
- The For Sale sign will be prominently placed.
- A combination
lock box and interior features
sheet will be placed on your property
- In accordance with the real estate commission’s
standards, your home will be measured to ensure the accurate
square footage and room dimensions
- With your input, your property will be listed in the
Triangle Multiple Listing Service
- Interior and exterior photos will be taken of your
home
- Flyers and feature sheets will be generated and
placed in your home
- Your home will be added to my
advertising
- Showings of your home will be scheduled
Showing Your Home
Showings will generate the most important thing for a home
seller – a contract! Although it may be inconvenient
to keep your home presentable at all times, it is when
you least expect it that you’ll get a call saying
someone want to see your home. I ask that you make every
effort not to be present when your home is being shown so
that the buyer may feel comfortable exploring your home,
looking into closets and cabinets and trying to imagine actually
living in your home.
Offer to Purchase
When an offer to purchase on your home is made, I will
contact you immediately and inform you of the terms of
the contract. Experience
dictates that we should expect a negotiating process – either
verbally or written. Once the terms are agreed upon,
the buyer’s agent will finalize the offer and present
it with earnest money.
Once You Are Under Contract
When the contract is signed, the buyer will conduct a home
inspection. This is where the buyer insures that the home
is in good condition
and
does
not require
any immediate repairs. The buyer’s agent will schedule
the inspection. You
will be notified with the dates for the applicable inspections.
- Basic Home Inspection will cover built-in appliances, electrical
system, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, roof covering
(flashing, gutters), doors and windows, exterior surfaces,
structural components (foundation, columns, chimneys, floors,
walls, ceiling, roof), porches, decks, fireplaces, flues,
crawl space and attic ventilation systems.
- Radon Gas Well and Septic
- Mold Spa and/or Pool Equipment
Repairs that the buyer requests and you agree to do must
be satisfactorily completed prior to the closing
Appraisal and Review Process
The buyer’s lender will schedule an appraisal of your
home. This is done by appointment and usually takes about
one hour.
Closing Day
Your part should take about thirty
minutes. You will likely review the settlement statement
prior
to closing, so you will be familiar with the figures involved
in the transaction. A closing in North Carolina
is at the time the deed is recorded with the Register of
Deeds. You can pick up your proceeds from the sale
after the deed is recorded. Now it is time to celebrate!.
