Behind the Scenes

While all this activity is happening, we’re also working behind the scenes to make sure your home gets the most exposure so it sells at the best price in a timely manner. We also gather all information necessary to ensure a smooth transaction. To that end, we:


• Immediately send video responses to buyer leads via e-mail and text

results of campaigns

• Research tax records to verify full and complete legal information is available to prospective


buyers and buyer’s agent on MLS printout


• Verify that your property is free of all liens


Once the sale of your home is pending, we stay proactive, not reactive, to make sure the process goes smoothly and efficiently by:
