Reasons to sell in Berkley
The worry, then how I help.
Upsizing
You do not want to sell before the next house is set.
I map the dates so you are not stuck with two payments or nowhere to go.
A multi-family
Tenants may still be in the home, and you are ready to sell.
I follow the lease and the law, and I do not promise that a tenant will leave.
Needs work
The house needs work and you do not want to renovate first.
I price it as it stands, and that opinion is not a home inspection.
Inherited
You inherited a house and you are not sure what you can do yet.
I coordinate with your estate attorney, and I do not give legal advice.
A condo
Fees, reserves, or the rules can surprise a buyer.
I read those before we set a price.

You need to sell one home and buy the next.
I put both dates on paper before we list.
How I help sellers
From the first call through closing, you deal with me.
Pricing
I price from recent sales and the repairs that pay you back, and this is my opinion, not an appraisal.
Prep
I give you a short prep list and introduce vendors that you hire and pay yourself.
Negotiation
I negotiate price, dates, and inspection terms, and I keep my list to 6 to 8 so I have the time.
Closing
A transaction coordinator keeps the file moving, and you still talk to me.

Homes near the Taunton River are the ones to check first. Flood zones are set address by address, so I pull the map for your home before we list, and a lender may require flood insurance in a high-risk zone.
