Homes for sale in Redmond, Bend, Sisters, Prineville and Madras Central Oregon

I invite you to consider me as your listing/selling agent when you are contemplating putting your property on the market. "Selling" is highlighted here as there is so much more to the sale of your property than just listing it. Effectively pricing your home, advertising its value, actively pursuing buyers through a network of contacts, making sure that you are protecting yourself in the negotiation phase, monitoring the escrow process to ensure timeliness of performance, and more all go into "selling a house". These are all important tools that I will use to in selling your property. And, perhaps most important of all, ongoing and thorough communication between the agent and property seller is essential as part of this process. This style of communication will be the cornerstone to our relationship if you choose to have me market and sell your property.

Services Provided
As noted above, from an effective and professional real estate broker's perspective, there is a lot that goes into selling property. Here is a highlight of services that I will provide to you as your property "sales" agent:

Understanding Your Wants and Needs: Before moving forward on the sale of your property you will be asked to share your wants, needs and concerns. Are you in a hurry to sell? Are you more concerned with the highest profit margin? Is this property part of a tax deferral exchange that has important timing consequences? Do you want only those offers that allow for a quick closing? Your desires and needs are critical in determining the best approach to selling your property..

Accurate Pricing Through Market Analysis: I will examine sales in your property area and market trends as part of our discussions of what price we feel would be appropriate for your property. Additionally, market conditions will be monitored throughout the sales process and recommended price adjustments suggested as needed...whether that is up or down.

ReMax Open House

Marketing Your Property: Putting a "For Sale" sign in front of your property is one small step towards a timely and profitable sale. As a professional listing agent, my services go far beyond just the sign. We will discuss appropriate improvements or embellishments to your property to enhance its desirability. Your flier box will not be left empty. Your home will be advertised as needed. Open houses will be held at your desire and convenience to maximize showings. Your property will be given priority placement on my website. When potential buyers make contact I will be available to show your property as soon as you want it to be shown. And, here is the kicker: all of these efforts will not wane over time. Your property will be a top priority of mine from day one through the day it is sold.

Assistance in Negotiations and Escrow: This stage of "selling" a home is every bit as critical as the others. I will be on hand to give advice about offers and during negotiations, providing insights from years of experience in this process. And, once the property enters the escrow process, I will attend to any and all issues that may arise in order to assure all proceeds in a timely manner according to escrow instructions.

My Commitment to You
As a licensed Oregon Realtor working for RE/MAX Land and Homes Real Estate, I will provide ethical, honest, and tireless service. I am bound by oath and character to represent you and your best interests in all transactions. If at any time you feel that I am not honorably or effectively acting on your behalf you may opt out of any agreement we have to sell your property.

Fee Options
Typically, listing agreements include a fee required of the seller between 6 and 7% of the final sales price. Of this amount, payments are split between the listing agent and that office and the agent and agency that represents the buyer. As you may see from the list of services above, this fee is money well spent. Time, marketing, and advertising costs are significant when professional selling packages are provided. And, I am open to discussing reduced fees that parallel reduced services. For example, if your property sells within a few days of it being put on the market, then it makes sense for you to pay less to me, as the extended effort I would have put in is not required. Or, if you prefer to not have open houses, advertise your property, etc., then it is possible to reduce my fee as well. My approach to fees mirror my commitment and professional service: I am dedicated to your wants and needs, including being fair about what I charge.

Please give me a call if you have any questions or if you want to chat about listing your property. I believe, from first phone call to the day your property sale process closes, you will be confident and repeatedly reassured you made the right choice in hiring me to sell your property.

I hope to chat with you soon and look forward to that as the first step of providing you with first-rate service.

Sincerely,

Ken Streater
