What is a listing consult

I've had listing consults with folks over a year out (sometimes two or three years) from listing their home as they begin planning, so the first thing to know is that it's never too early to meet! 

This is a comprehensive meeting where we discuss the entire listing process step by step from that day until closing. 

First we tour your home to talk about current or planned projects, and then we cover other tasks you may want to complete to prepare your home for the market. It's my job to know which projects you should undertake, and which ones won't yield a good return. Also, a big piece of this involves your ability/budget to complete projects, the availability of any contractors you may want to hire, and also your timeline for getting the home on the market. 

Next, we'll discuss that timeline, your family's schedule, and the costs associated with selling your home. We will discuss what I do that goes above and beyond what other agents provide and what you can expect from me in the marketing and selling of your home. We talk about the logistics of the listing process and we have a very in depth discussion of the current real estate market in your area and the value of your home. 

This first meeting is designed to educate you and help us formulate the best gameplan as we begin preparing to sell your home. 

I hope you found this helpful. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out!
