What You Net
The numbers that matter
Of course, the sale price of your home is the most important variable in real estate. Local knowledge of the real estate market is important when determining the list price that will attract the right buyer.
At Carpenter we are constantly analyzing the market, reviewing activity and watching trends. We’ll share market data and present a strategy to attract the highest and best offers for your home.
But it’s the actual cash you’ll receive at closing (the “net”) that is the most important to you. We help achieve the highest net for you by:
- attracting more buyers with multi-media marketing to create a competitive bidding situation, leading to a higher sale price;
- negotiating who pays for closing costs;
- managing closing dates to positively impact your interest payments;
- negotiating the cost of inspection repairs;
- working for your benefit every step of the way.
Our Comparative Market Analysis and Home Merchandising Systems provide a careful analysis of the list price and presentation of your home. Then we review each offer to ensure money isn’t left on the table.
When you choose Carpenter Realtors, you are choosing a trusted advisor to guide you through this important transaction.
