JOE "is on the" BALL
Selling Your Home in a Buyers Market 
Like any good agent, I will provide the following to you at no charge: A for sale yard sign including 1-800 number where buyers can hear pre-recorded information about your home, two-sided color flyers, placement of your home on the MLS with video tour (the database that REALTORS® use to find homes), and full page color brochures for inside your home. While this is the traditional way to sell homes, a National Association of REALTORS® study showed that in 2010 over 87% of buyers started their search for homes on-line. To reach this large segment of buyers I advertise on the following sites: REALTOR®.com - The number one website home buyers visit. I upgrade each of my customers ads with the enhanced listing package that includes a video tour, twenty five photos instead of four, and priority placement of your ad. YouTube - The number one video site and second most visited site on the internet. Facebook and Twitter - With one click of a mouse you can add a video tour to these and other social networking sites you may be a member of. Craigslist. - A full page brochure ad will appear within 48 hours of putting the home on the market.Your home will also appear on both my Facebook page and website under featured homes for sale and a video tour will be available under the "click here to see my visual tour inventory" button on the main page.
For most of us, buying or selling a home is tne of the largest financial transactions we make in our lives. You should be informed every step of the way and staying in touch with you is my highest priority. I'll send you a monthly status report and contact you when there is any activity on your listing. Also, I'm easy to reach. My phone is on daily from 9:00 to 9:00. How did agents make appointments to see your home? In many companies, showings are made by contacting the agent directly. The flaw with this method is appointments are often missed if the agent is on or away from their phone. To ensure this doesn't happen to you, Watson Realty keeps staff on call seven days a week from 8:30 to 6:00. An agent simply calls my office, the staff contacts you, and the showing is made.
When selling a home most people think their REALTORS® only job is to find a buyer, but finding a buyer and getting an offer is just the beginning of the home selling process. Getting that buyer to closing and actually sold is where my value to you will really become apparent. Offers and counteroffers, addendums and repair requests all follow an accepted offer, not to mention the slew of inspections required to get your home sold. I'll be there (so you won't have to take time off work) to make sure the survey, the home inspection, the WDO (wood destroying organisms) report, initial and final walk-through get done within their specific timeframes because missing any timeline on any inspection allows your buyer to walk out on their signed contract as late as the closing table. I'll also be there for re-inspections of negotiated repair requests or any other time an inspector or repairman needs access to your home. I'll arrange where closing will be held and accompany you there to make sure things go smoothly.
If this sounds like the way you would like to do business or you're interested in learning more, I'm available from 9:00 to 9:00 EST seven days a week. Feel free to contact me at (904) 735-5785 or joeball@JoeisontheBall.com
