Jill Heineck’s Tactical Tips for Selling Your House in Today’s Environment

Transcript

Lee Kantor: [00:00:06] Welcome to Jill Heineck’s Tactical Tips For Selling Your House In Today’s Environment. I’m Lee Cantor. Jill, today’s question is, what information do I need to get my listing started?

Jill Heineck: [00:00:17] Years ago, it was just make an offer and wait for all the information to come. So, we are very pretty proactive and that we try to get all the information that you need up front. So, example would be, any receipts and invoices and information on improvements that you’ve done on the property since you’ve owned it. We send all the disclosure forms to you so that you can take the time to really fill them out thoughtfully to the best of your knowledge, that we have everything at our fingertips when an offer does come in. Including HOA information, if that applies to you. The fees it costs to live there via the HOA, what they cover, the budget, rules and regulations, et cetera. Any permits that you might have pulled to do any work on the property. Any pre-listing inspection reports that you might have had prior to. Neighborhood information and those kinds of things. So, we try to get as much information upfront as possible so that makes the buyer’s agent her job or his job easier to put together an offer and not waste any time.
