When selling property in today’s rough and tumble market, you need to wisely position yourself and your home. Throughout the listing process I will anticipate what customers are looking for in a home, and put that knowledge to use when marketing the property. With your permission, this will include staging. I work with many buyers and know what buyers do and don’t like because I listen to them when showing property. This experience will be used to position your home to sell. Once your home is picture perfect, I will hire a professional photographer to take great pictures, and get those loaded and set up so once I hit the “live” button on the MLS system, your home will be viewed as positively as possible.
Once listed, your property will appear on our Multiple Listing Service (MLS), Realtor.com, Zillow.com, a professional video tour, and on my personal website. My assistant, Jayne Sandler, is invaluable in creating feature sheets and marketing materials for each property, and continuously keeping up with email correspondence, making sure all of us are on the same page. As a former lender with 19 years of experience, Jayne knows the ins and outs of the financing world, so if a potential issue should arise with respect to mortgages, payoffs, closing costs, etc. should come up, she can quickly assist.
Reviews about Terri:
“I was new to the area so really needed an expert hand to guide me in my home search. Terri was endlessly patient, encouraging and supportive as we looked for the right home for me. She really cares about her clients and discouraged me from buying places that she thought were not in my best interest and where I would not be happy in the long run. She is very knowledgeable and even more important to me, extremely kind, responsive and supportive.” by T.M.
“Terri was an absolutely wonderful realtor for me as a first-time home buyer who is new to the state and a new doctor. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of Iowa City and its real estate to the point of being able to point out specific houses we were driving past and give price quotes and sometimes even the history of the house. My mother, who is an attorney and helped in the house hunt, and I had a very particular set of requirements for the house. Terri listened to all of our comments and spent several long days with us finding what we were looking for. She (and her assistant Jayne) are extremely responsive to questions and requests. Terri adeptly tailored the house hunting process as we went, showing us sample houses in a variety of neighborhoods to better ascertain what we were looking for. When we were ready to make an offer, she was easily able to help us figure out what an optimal offer for the house would be so as to avoid a back-and-forth negotiation process (which was successful). Throughout the entire process, Terri has been engaged and helpful. Even now that we have been in the house for a few days after the closing, she has provided us with lists of recommendations on everything from a dry cleaners to a handyman. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and will definitely be utilizing her services again when it comes time to sell my home.” by K.McG.
