Life is an evolving process and we all must make changes at one time

a deep understanding of your needs in respect to life changes. Real

The marketing process begins with your making contact with your Solutions
real estate representative, Joanne Y. Burkitt. Communicating with
a phone call or an email message will begin this fundamental process
which can lead to successful marketing of your home at the best possible
price. She will use the DOORS program, a Weichert specialty tool, which
provides an up front customized marketing plan with customized materials
ready for immediate use. This plan includes a schedule of marketing
activities comprising several newspaper ads to advertise your home,
and promotional materials with your home's photo and its features ready
to be given to prospective buyers. This is done with her complementary
market analysis of your home.
Your home will be advertised in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) after
a listing agreement is made between you, the seller, and Weichert Realtors.
Your home will then be aggressively advertised. It will be entered in
the MLS and the focus of several Weichert marketing tools e.g. the Weichert
Caravan, holding public Open House, the Weichert Relocation, internet,
referrals, SMARTSell, and/or OSSII. As the listing agent, she may make
practical recommendations to increase the salability of your home. She
will seek and find the buyer who is truly ready, willing, and able.
The fundamental end process is to facilitate the legal closing the sale
of your home. She will bring to you all offers and upon your selection,
process the chosen offer and negotiate it to your satisfaction. Before
the closing, she will assist you in your relocating needs. She will
remain with you throughout the closing process and coordinate with all
parties until completion of the closing process. She can represent you
on most closing matters to include negotiation, agreements, commit-ments,
and settlements.
To expedite the buying process, we at Weichert Realtors are prepared
to offer the buyer fast mortgage service, a performance guarantee for
meeting the agreed closing date, and other miscellaneous needs such
as title insurance or a quality Home Protection Plan. The follow through
with all concerned parties for completion of the closing process is
part of her commitment to you.
She will employ the fundamentals for the selling of real estate to achieve
the ultimate goal to get you the top dollar in the shortest amount of
time for your home.
