| The 7 Strategies for a Stress Free and Successful Home Sale in the Salem Oregon metro area
|
|
- Find an agent compensation plan that works for you. Tomson Burnham agents offer Salem Oregon home sellers flexible payment strategies in the form of hourly rates, flat rate packages, and sliding commission scale to give you the services you desire. We strongly believe in customization as we all know that one size does not fit all.
- Develop a strategy for repairs. Many buyers of homes will request repairs of one kind or another. Tomson Burnham agents work with local Salem area contractors that will bill escrow for you, so that you can get the repairs needed for your home without paying out of pocket.
- Know where your agent's loyalties lie. A home is a large investment and sellers should make sure that an agent is representing their best interest exclusively. At Tomson Burnham we will only represent one side of a transaction to ensure that you as the buyer or seller get the best terms possible.
- Set your price right. Tomson Burnham agents take a market analysis seriously. It is based on a detailed walk-through of your home , current market conditions, and comparable sales. Make sure you base your sales price on a market analysis where the agent has been inside your home not just based on listings pulled off the MLS. Otherwise it is just a "ballpark" and may not be accurate.
- Be educated about the sales process. Transactions often have complications due to missed deadlines or poor communication between parties. Keeping informed of the status of the transaction will help to mitigate these problems. Tomson Burnham agents have an online transaction management system (TMS) that allows all parties involved in a transaction to access documents, see the calendar for due dates, and needed tasks. With 24/7 access, a client can see what is happening at any time that is convenient for them. We can even burn a CD for you with your entire transaction documents on it for you at closing!
- Market effectively and efficiently. The agents at Tomson Burnham take the best ideas for offline marketing and combine them with the best of online marketing to reach all targets for your home. We spend time researching what strategies really work for selling homes. As a result, we do not waste your money on strategies that generate leads for us, but are not effective sales tools.
- Retain an agent who invests in continuous education. Tomson Burnham is not content to have agents who meet the minimum training requirements (15 hours a year) by the state. The agents at Tomson Burnham receive 40 hours of new training every year to make sure they are staying abreast of the latest trends in real estate.
