As Your Agent, I Will:

• Complete a comparative market analysis that will compare your home's value to that of your area
• Compile a comprehensive plan detailing all the efforts I will employ to sell your home, including Internet and local media, and horse publications.
• Write a listing and ad copy that contains all the pertinent information about your property, not just your house. Horse people buy horse properties, not houses. Most agents don't understand that, and will take up all the space talking about how big the bedrooms are, instead of how big the stalls are. I will be able to answer questions about your property accurately and intelligently. You would not believe how many times I've called a listing agent about one of their properties, asked a question about the barn, and been told "Oh, I didn't go out there".  Huh? - and you're trying to sell this place?
• Present your home to as many qualified buyers as possible getting your home maximum exposure.
• Help you stage your home and generate curb appeal to ensure you get the highest price.
• Assist with obtaining offers and help you in negotiating the best deal as smoothly as possible.
• Help you find your next home and answer all of your questions about the local market area, including schools, neighborhoods, the local economy, and more.

Getting the Highest Price for Your Home

Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop or drive right by. Keep your pastures mowed and weed free. Make sure your fencing is in good shape, and that all gates operate without a struggle. Weeds - that nasty word again. Make sure to weed-whack or spray around the barn and any outbuildings, and along fence lines. The barn should be neat and clean, and all stall doors or gates should be in good repair. Are the stalls in good shape? No protruding nails or broken or excessively chewed boards should allowed. If you have a leaky hydrant, fix it. Old, rusty machinery scattered about is a no-no.  Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it's staged appropriately. Here are some ideas to present your home in the most effective manner.

Closing Costs to Expect:

• Title insurance fees depend on the sales price of the home.
• Broker's commission is a full-service fee and will cost anywhere between 5% to 7%.
• Local property transfer tax, county transfer tax, state transfer tax, and state capital gains tax are the charges that you'll pay for the privilege of selling your home. Credit to the buyer of unpaid real estate taxes for the prior or current year are variable and depend on when you close and when your taxes are due.
• FHA fees and costs are all fees are now negotiable between an FHA buyer and seller.
• Home inspections fees are in some circumstances paid for by the seller and include pest, radon and other inspections.
• Miscellaneous fees can accrue from correcting problems noticed during the home inspection.
