Marketing techniques
We do it all! Distinctive brochures with easy to read fact sheet, several digital photos, disclosure statements, plat map and (optional) a letter from the seller.
Realtor opens, open houses, pictures ads in the Star Tribune, superior internet presence and virtual tours of many homes. Direct mail and email campaigns. Networking with other Realtors in the area. And a variety of other marketing forms.

Negotiating the best offer Price is not the only consideration. Closing date, contingencies, possession, buyers’ loan approval documentation and financing arrangements, lender commitment workorders, inspection negotiations, home warranties, tax proration, special assessments, well and septic
certification, and buyer requests for personal property and/or repairs are all important factors in negotiating the best offer. Experience is the most powerful tool when negotiating a contract.

Closing Process
When all terms of the purchase agreement have been settled and the inspection details finalized, the paperwork flies! An appraiser will schedule an appointment. Title work is commonly completed by a title company. If an abstract is available, you will need to provide it to the title company as well as a copy of the Owners’ title insurance policy. The buyer determines the physical location of the closing. We provide contact information for utility companies, etc.. Coordination efforts of Realtors, buyers, sellers, loan officer and closers will assre a smooth closing which should last about an hour. If you prefer, we can arrange for you to presign and you will not have to attend the closing.
