This is not something we recommend. We will pull market pricing for your home and included in our services. An appraisal can cost $450+. If your buyer is financing their lender will order and appraisal and that appraisal is what they will go by. Your appraisal will hold no value.

We are commission based so we get paid once we have brought a ready, willing, and able buyer to the table. Our commission is typically paid on closing day out of proceeds from the sale of your home. There are no up front charges.

This is optional. Alabama is a buyer beware state so it is up to the buyer to inspect the home and find any defects.

An appraisal is designed to determine value of your property and bank appraisals have to check for health and safety hazards. These are typically minor repairs that are visible. (Peeling paint, missing railings, wood rot etc. A home inspection is a thorough inspection of the entire house checking all main components and latent defects not visible upon looking at the home.

Talk to us! This is a team effort and we are always willing to work with you. Just remember when we pull numbers for pricing we are using comparable properties that have recently sold as well as judging our competition. If we go too high, your home could sit on the market for a long time or possibly not sell. There is even a chance that the appraisal can come in low.

We do tons of marketing and consistently make changes to your listing throughout the process to keep it fresh and not let it go stale. So, when a home is taking longer to sell than we feel it should, we may suggest a price drop. A few factors play into this decision. We consistently keep track of feedback from showings, we watch for homes selling lower (in a market shift the key is to stay in front of the shift) , and we judge the amount of showings. This tells us if we are competitive or missing the mark. Sometimes a unique property will just take longer to sell, in general.

Listing for only cash or conventional sales can really limit your buyer pool because it takes more money down. As you know it is tough to find people who have put back a large amount of money. In addition, due to the repairs needing to be completed, these sales usually result in investors being interested which results in a lower offer. We can help you judge what type of financing would be the best for your home and we will discuss this with you.

We will have you get a 10 day payoff letter prior to closing. Since you have a mortgage on your home, it does not have clear title until the current mortgage is paid off. Our closing attorney will overnight your payoff to the mortgage company out of proceeds so you don’t have to worry with it.

Absolutely! Now this can be a little stressful but we do it all the time. We typically set both closings up on the same time on the same day. We refer to these as "back to back closings". It can be stressful because you give possession the same day you close. So we will see you at closing with your U-Haul. (unless we have made other arrangements for possession)

We have helped many clients that we have never even met in person. They have mailed the keys, we handled all of the footwork, and they e-signed all documents thru the process. Our Atty can set up a power of atty so we can sign for you at closing. But only after you have reviewed and approved the final numbers. We are working as your agent on your behalf and our loyalties lie with you only.

Our number one goal is to have a great relationship. If we are doing, or not doing, something and you are not happy, please don’t be afraid to let us know. Client satisfaction is very important to us. We always want you to be able to talk to us . We won’t talk to you everyday because marketing a property does take some time. Everything we do takes time too, because we look at everything from multiple angles before we act to make sure it is beneficial.
