Listing Services I Provide to Sellers

SELLING YOUR HOME

When Alan lists your home, he uses his extensive experience and knowledge of the local market, along with input from you, to first establish overall objectives and goals and then to formulate a custom marketing plan to achieve those objectives and goals. The components of the goals and the marketing plan include the following:

OBJECTIVES & GOALS

To aggressively market your home so that it sells at the best price, in the shortest amount of time and with the least amount of inconvenience.
To get as many qualified buyers as possible into your home until it is sold in order to maximize profit potential.
To communicate with you (by phone and activity letter) at least twice a week, to discuss the results of all activities relating to the sale and marketing of your home.
To constantly look for the best possible methods of exposing your home to potential buyers in the market.

MARKETING ACTIVITIES

Prepare a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to determine the value of your home. The CMA will analyze recent sales of comparable homes and other homes currently available for sale. Meet with you at your home to discuss the CMA and establish a price for your home.
Meet with you at your home to discuss the CMA and establish a price for your home.
Prepare a summary of the most important and valuable features of your home for inclusion in the Multiple Listings and submit your home to the Multiple Listing Service. This exposes your home to thousands of agents throughout South Florida.

Submit copies of your listing to my company's agents for their waiting buyers.
Work with buyers who may purchase your home and who may provide us with useful information about what buyers are looking for.

Satisfied Clients

You were the best agent I've ever worked with. From the first day I listed my home with you, you got right to work. I was amazed at the high number of showings you brought to my house in less than two weeks. So when I received the offer I wanted after only 12 days, I was extremely pleased.

Ada Ovadia

Alan helped us ensure that we had our home priced right, and he communicated with us after every showing! Bottom line is that Alan was extremely involved with our home and his detailed focus helped sell it in only 12 days. Truly amazing!

Jim & Shirley Heinen

When you listed our home you explained everything in a way that made us feel very comfortable. You also explained how there would be constant and open communication between us from the day our home went on the market until it sold. You kept all of your promises and our house sold in around five weeks. Thanks again.

Jim & Linda Scheiner

You were the first realtor we ever worked with who gave us sound professional advice when we were ready to make an offer. We made the offer Sunday morning at 9 and by 11:00 a.m. you had worked everything out with the seller – truly amazing. Our faith has been restored and we will recommend you to all of our friends.

Sergio Perez and Maria Teresa Cardarelli

The way you explained everything, we felt very comfortable. You were always there for us, and everything happened the way you explained. We were ecstatic when you sold our home for the full asking price. Thanks Alan.

Terri and Joe Bartolotta

What a negotiator! Your background as a real estate attorney sure came in handy in selling our home. You put together a win/win transaction. We appreciate all your efforts.

Fred & Natalie Nuemann

As you know, Alan, I was very concerned about selecting the right agent to help me purchase my new home. I met with some agents and they just didn’t make me feel comfortable. Then I called you. The way you explained everything I felt very comfortable. You helped me find my home quickly – and it is wonderful. I have no doubts about who my next real estate professional will be.

Thank you for selling our home. It wasn’t just the sale we are thankful for, however, but the timely and efficient manner in which it was done. Your marketing techniques were impressive and effective. We will certainly pass along your name to anyone we know that is in the market to buy or sell. Thanks so much for all of your help in finding our new home.
