Residental Listing Agreement
A listing agreement between a real estate agent and a seller is essential as it formalizes their professional relationship, ensuring both parties are on the same page regarding expectations and obligations.
​
This contract delineates the agent's duties, the scope of their services, the marketing strategy, the listing price, and the commission structure, providing a comprehensive framework for the sales process.
​
By setting these terms, the agreement ensures that the agent is committed to diligently marketing the property and acting in the seller's best interests while protecting the agent's right to compensation for their efforts.
​
It includes provisions for dispute resolution and termination conditions, which helps prevent misunderstandings and conflicts. For the seller, it guarantees that the agent will follow a structured plan to attract potential buyers and secure the best possible offer.
Ultimately, a listing agreement provides legal protection and fosters a transparent, professional, and efficient real estate transaction.
Before going out on tour with clients, I sit down with them to review the listing agreement and answer any questions they may have. The listing agreement must be signed first before proceeding with any work toward preparing your property to sell.

How I'll market your property to SELL
Marketing a home for sale is crucial step to ensure the property is attractive to a wide and diverse audience attracting potential buyers.
By highlighting the properties unique features and benefits, it help's make it stand out in a competitive market in a market with a lot of similar homes.
I will showcase your home through several means of social media and real estate platforms. I will market your home through social media, through word of mouth with other agents, through listing it on the MLS (which then shuffles to Realtor.com, or Zillow.com sites, to having a for sale sign outside your home, and having professional photos taken and presented on all marketing materials. I will even host open houses during off hours (so twilight tours, or open houses for different real estate agents to walk through before it goes live on the market, for the public to see)
Ultimately, strategic marketing can significantly enhance the property's appeal and value, ensuring a successful and profitable transaction. It's all about marketing the home and getting it's name out there so people are able to see what potential this property can bring them.
