So you want to sell your house. There's a lot more to it than the three P's:

1-picking a price;
2-planting a sign in the front yard; and
3-praying.

It takes a lot of time, focus . . . and yes, it can be stressful without the right professional in your corner.

Kathy works hard, is honest with you, keeps in contact with you and always practices the golden rule. She deals with the stress and problems, so you don't have to! Below is an outline of how Kathy works with you to sell your house quickly and at top dollar, as well as different options she offers to get your home sold.

HOW to sell a house depends on WHY you want (or need) to SELL:

Full Brokerage Service: This is the option for people who want the largest profit, and can wait 30-90 days or more to close. Is this you?
For Sale By Owner Assistance: Click here for FREE step-by-step assistance.
Avoiding Foreclosure Service: If you are 2-4 months behind in payments you could be facing foreclosure. However, don't give up...you do have options! Kathy's expertise in negotiating with mortgage companies is the answer! Click here for more details.

Probate Service: This is the option for people who have lost a loved one and inherited a property. A property they may not be sure of what to do with. Sell it? Rent it? Liquidate it? Move in? Kathy is a Certified Probate Specialist and helps you make your way through this highly emotional time, to help you make the best decision and then gets you the results you want for your unique situation.

What to expect when selling your house:

Preparation - It's a little bit more than cleaning up the house.
Showings - Showings lead to offers. The more showings, the better the odds for a great offer.
Negotiations - It's more than just the price that matters. Other items make a big difference in the net sales proceeds.
Escrow - The period between an accepted offer and closing. This is probably the hardest time for the seller - the waiting!

So why should you consider working with Kathy to get your house sold? Here's the top 14 reasons:

1) Keeping the Stress Low. You’re a person with goals, dreams and desires and Kathy makes sure to keep those in mind throughout the entire transaction so you are 100% satisfied and kept as stress-free as possible.

2) You’re not a number. You are treated like a member of the family, not a transaction. Kathy works with no more than 4 families at one time. This way all her clients receive the attention they require and deserve.

3) One Contact. Kathy works with you through the entire process. You won’t be sent to a Transaction Coordinator for paperwork, or an Open House Coordinator, or a Photographer, or a Stager, or a sign person, etc. That’s confusing for you and can be irritating when you don’t know who to call when you need an answer. You'll never feel like a number or worse, a transaction, when you work with Kathy. She is the broker and your contact from beginning to end.

4) Staging. Kathy is a certified stager and works with you to make your property look its best using your belongings.

5) Photographs that attract eyeballs. Kathy is also an award-winning photographer and she provides the photography for use in marketing your home digitally and in print.

6) Timely Updates. You receive timely updates throughout the entire process, so you know what is going on (or not going on) and what to expect every step of the way.

7) Paperwork/Contracts/Offers. Kathy handles all the paperwork to ensure all required documents are gathered, distributed, signed and executed in a timely manner.

8) Transaction Coordination. All details are handled by Kathy throughout the transaction to ensure no deadlines (responses, inspections, etc.) are missed. This prevents any potential problems. You’ll also be advised of all scheduling of inspections, etc. in a timely manner.

9) Listing Price / Offer Considerations. Professional recommendations are given to you based on Kathy's knowledge of the current market and her 20+ years of real estate experience so your property is competitively priced - based on your timeline and current factual market data. Once offers are received, all will be reviewed with a fine-tooth comb to determine if accepting, countering, or declining the offer is in your best interest. You’ll also receive an Estimated Net Income Sheet, so you have a good idea of what you’ll have in your back pocket when everything is complete.

10) Negotiations. The presentation of an offer is often the most critical step in selling property. Its purpose is to achieve your goals while committing the other party to the sale. Many questions must be answered in a satisfactory manner including:

Will all parties be able to complete the purchase?
Are both parties seriously interested in the completing the property transaction sale?
Are the terms and conditions reasonable and acceptable to you?
Should the offer price be accepted without changes?
Should you counter-offer?
Should you reject the offer outright?
How will this offer affect your financial needs and time constraints?

Evaluating an offer is more than an arithmetic computation. There is no substitute for good instincts and experience. Because of Kathy's continuing involvement in real estate transactions on a regular basis, Kathy helps you answer all the above questions. She also provides you with a Sales Net Proceeds Worksheet so that you have a fairly good idea of how much money you'll make from the sale allowing you to make an informed decision about selling the house.

11) Inspections/Closing. Kathy attends all inspections, and even attends the closing with you to ensure a smooth transaction.

12) Marketing. Your property is marketed via signs, brochures, flyers, open houses and caravans (if deemed necessary), and multiple digital platforms are used to reach the largest pool of buyers interested in buying a home in this area.

13) NO EXTRA FEES! That means, the listing (brokerage) fee is all inclusive. There are no additional fees that others may charge, like: ‘administrative fee’ or ‘marketing fee’ or ‘photography fee’ or ‘staging fee’, etc.

14) Golden Rule. Kathy works by the Golden Rule. She treats others as she wants to be treated. There’s nothing Kathy hates more than being nickeled and dimed by hidden or additional fees. Don’t you? That’s why MacKenzie Realty's brokerage fee always includes all services from beginning to end.

Tips to Get Your Home SOLD

Selling a home is a major investment in time and elbow grease. Unfortunately for many home sellers, it can be an even more frustrating process than it needs to be because the necessary preparation is overlooked which results in a longer time on market, lowball offers, or worse, the house not being sold at all.

Preparing your property, before it goes on the market helps you cut costs and sell your house quickly!

Kathy has put together a report entitled, Preparing for your House (for quicker and more profitable) Sale! which provides you detailed steps necessary to get your property sold at the price you want and in the time frame you need.
