SELLING IN TODAY'S REAL ESTATE MARKET


RECORD SALES

  "Mary is aggressive energetic, and efficient. She makes herself completely available to her clients, night or day. She was dogged in Selling my house and found me the condominium of my dreams."
  -Carole Saline,
  Journalist, Co-Author of Sisters

  "We met Mary 14 years ago when we were planning to move to Center City. Thanks to her efforts and knowledge she found the right house for us then - and she repeated it earlier this year when we decided to move again - this time to a condominium on Rittenhouse Square. In all those years Mary has been an understanding friend and an enthusiastic supporter. She represents the energy and high spirits that are so vital in the current Philadelphia scene."
  -Dr. Mark and Barbara Mishkin

We've known Mary for almost 15 years and three deals, and she continues to amaze us by her diligence and devotion. Can't imagine anyone knowing more about what's available on the real estate scene. Selling or buying, we always felt we were in the best of hands."

  -James Kephart, Esquire

  "My wife and I looked for a new house for 3 years before we met Mary. We purchased the first place she showed us. Mary knows Real Estate but she really knows what her clients want!
  -Ann and Howard Sacks



TIME WISE

Some may still consider the three most important factors in real estate to be location, location, location. Mary knows that's simplistic and dated.

In today's world, timely real estate sales come from an attractive property that is priced right and marketed professionally.

In today's Center City, timely real estate sales come from Mary.

COMPETITIVE ADVICE

Buyers today expect more and more for their real estate dollars. They know the range of properties on the market. They expect your property to offer the same features and more.

Mary works with you to help present your property in a way that gives you an edge over competing Sellers.

REALISTIC PRICING

The proper pricing of any commodity brings an early sale — especially in real estate. Mary counsels Sellers to set a price that will appeal to two important audiences: Buyers and Real Estate Brokers.

When Brokers see a realistically-priced property go on the market, they are more likely to direct Buyers your way.

STRATEGIC MARKETING

Many factors need to be taken into account when developing a marketing plan for your property. Mary looks at each individual situation and custom designs a marketing program that may include:

  • Market Analysis
  • Sales Literature
  • Newspaper Advertising
  • Targeted Mailings
  • Relocation Networking
  • Corporate/Institutional Contact
  • Multiple Listing Service
  • Signage (where appropriate)
  • Showing Preparations
  • Open Houses
  • Brokers Tours
  • And More


Real Estate



Selling is not an everyday experience! Some often raised questions:

  • What are the steps in selling my house?
  • How can I determine how much cash I will walk away with after the sale?
  • Are there any other costs of selling my house that I should know about?
  • What does a Listing Agent do between the signing of the listing and the Agreement of Sale?


SOLD......NOW WHAT?

  • What's in a sales contract?
  • What happens at settlement?
  • What do closing costs include?
  • What reimbursements can I expect to receive at settlement?
