Selling a Home with SASH Realty
SASH Realty is primarily a listing firm, meaning that we specialize in representing sellers. We take pride in beating the market in every community where we list homes, selling homes for higher prices and with fewer days on market than other brokerages. At SASH, we believe sellers deserve exceptional representation to the market. Our brokers go the extra mile every day to deliver the very best outcome to our sellers in the sale of their property, and our results speak for themselves.
We begin with a visit with you, the seller, to understand your unique goals and specific needs in your home sale. We provide guidance and assistance on market preparation, appropriate pricing, and top notch presentation to maximize your sale outcome. Our experienced SASH Realty brokers are on top of every detail of the listing and closing process, advocating for you in negotiations, managing every detail, and keeping you updated along the way, from “start to sold.”
On average, SASH Realty listings sell twice as fast as the local market, and with higher prices than comparable sales. This is due to an exceptional presentation of your home to the market, expert pricing strategy, high-quality marketing, and skilled negotiation. Faster sales mean our listings do not get stale with many days on market. This benefits our clients with lower carrying costs and stress, while still achieving the best possible bottom-line outcome.
Sellers have many options with SASH Realty’s selling services. Homes in need of repairs or updates can receive professional attention prior to listing, with our wide network of contractors and service providers. If the seller wishes, SASH can sell the home “as-is”, creating high demand from real estate investors. Through SASH Services, we can coordinate repairs and even provide funding for the repairs (see www.sashservices.com)(https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/4e64df21-9bf0-4e94-b1fd-be0c010f95a6/wix-faq/create/www.sashservices.com), with no money out of our sellers’ pocket prior to listing and closing.
SASH Realty can guide, manage, and coordinate as much of the preparation as you need, from planning repairs, packing, sorting, arranging deep cleaning and landscaping, staging, and more. As SASH is a licensed general contractor, our team has deep hands-on experience overseeing many home renovations. We know which improvements create the most buyer appeal and return on investment, and which updates will not be a good use of resources.
SASH Realty emphasizes regular updates and clear communication throughout the sale of your property. We cater our communication to our sellers’ preferences so that each client is well informed. Our brokers understand how much is at stake in a home sale, and want our sellers to be knowledgeable about each step in the journey. You can expect proactive check-ins, prompt responses to questions, and a dedicated broker who keeps you informed about each next step, all the way to closing.
