As a home seller, you deserve the ultimate in
a professional real estate agent to represent you. You have
just that in Alene Iutzwig. I promise to provide friendly personal
assistance, while ensuring that your needs and concerns are met. I
will provide you with
up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace, as well as
the price, financing, terms, and condition of competing properties.
Marketing your home properly is essential to making a quick sale.
Regardless of market conditions there will always be competition. I will
complete a current market evaluation for your property using accepted
professional methods and consult with you to price your home correctly.
Furthermore, I will ensure that your property receives extensive exposure
to other real estate agents and the general public. I will act as
your marketing coordinator, disbursing information about your property to
other real estate agents through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), open
houses for agents, and other synergetic marketing methods.
When you start receiving offers, I can objectively help you evaluate every
buyer's proposal without compromising your selling position. This
initial agreement is only the beginning of a process of appraisals,
inspections and financing (an area where many mistakes can occur). I can
facilitate with writing a legally binding agreement that will help
you to make it through the entire process.
Between the initial sales agreement and closing (or settlement), questions
may arise. For example, unexpected repairs may be required to obtain
financing or a problem with the title may be discovered. The required
paperwork alone is overwhelming for most sellers. I will steward these
efforts and help you resolve various issues such as these, thus moving the
transaction to closing (or settlement).
Real estate transactions involve one of the most considerable financial
investments people experience in their lifetime. Transactions today will
in all likelihood exceed $120,000. If you had a $120,000 income tax
problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a CPA? If
you had a $120,000 legal dilemma, would you deal with it without hiring an
attorney? Take the stress factor out of your decision process and
give Alene Iutzwig a call today at 281-488-7317. You won't regret
it!

Availability
Your house should always be available for show, even though it
may occasionally be inconvenient for you. Most agents will call
and give you at least a couple of hours notice before showing your
property
Try Not to be Home
Homebuyers will feel like intruders if you are home when they
visit, and they might not be as receptive toward viewing your home.
Keep this in mind.
Lighting
When you know someone is coming by to tour your home, turn on all
of the indoor and outdoor lights, even during the day. At
night, a lit house portrays a "homey" impression when viewed from the
street. During the daytime, turning on the lights eliminates shadows
from the sunlight and brightens up any dim areas.
Scented Fragrances
Don't use scented sprays to prepare for visitors. In most cases it is
too obvious and many people find the odor of those sprays offensive.
In addition, some people may be allergic!
Keep the House Clean
Be sure and make your bed, pick up clutter, and do not leave dirty
dishes laying around. Keep everything sparkling clean, and be
sure to vacuum.
