My Clients Come First
Welcome to the Anna Tulman Home Selling Experience! Let me share with you an ugly truth about selling real estate: believe it or not, most real estate agents are usually more concerned about generating new listings than they are about selling the homes
that they have already listed.
After you list your home with them, you'll discover that they suddenly become much more difficult to contact. The time it takes for them to return your call goes from minutes to hours or days (if you're lucky). Providing you with timely feedback on the progress they are making is a very low priority item.
If they're not making progress on selling your home, you're the last person they want to talk with. The truth is, they assume that eventually your home will sell just because they've put it into the MLS — even if it takes several months and a couple of price reductions to do it.
I promise a different experience. From the moment you sign with me, the goal is always the same:
- to sell your property
- at the best possible price
- in the shortest amount of time
Here, is what you can expect when you list your home, condo, or other property with
Anna Tulman:
- I will ensure that the property is fully exposed and marketed aggressively to the right pool of buyers.
- I will pre-qualify all potential buyers in order to avoid wasting your time and to secure the highest price for your property.
- I will make myself available to show your property at any time.
- I will personally oversee every step of the process, until escrow closes on time.
How
to Achieve a Successful Transaction
Sell Your Home for the Most Money in the Least Amount of Time
As an experienced real estate sales professional, I can offer many services to give your home the most exposure to qualified prospective buyers. But
it is important for the client to understand that there is much they can do to facilitate the sale of a property.
Home Inspection and Appraisal
As a service to my clients I have compiled a checklist of items often found in need of repair during the whole house inspection.
If repairs are needed, plan to do them before the professional inspection is performed. It will ensure a smoother sale and contribute to a positive home inspection experience.
