Below is more description of our Services for Sellers
Marketing Materials – When it comes to marketing material, the MATC has a reputation for high quality, innovative materials that definitely stand out in the market place. We pride ourselves on keeping ahead of the pack by remaining consistent with our branding, accuracy of information, attention to detail, and continually seeking new and creative ways to reach the many different mindsets of the general public in the changing markets. We pride ourselves on having your home show at its best and making it accessible to consumers who have become increasingly insistent on seeing more of the home online and in print.
Extreme Internet- Where are consumers who are currently in the marketplace but online. The statistics are alarming and our trade which was one of finding homes for clients has become more of an advisory role. Due to this we have shifted much of our attention and energy to having our homes present on multiple websites presenting them visually on the most important sites that attract attention. This extreme effort includes not only engaging in programs which gives the property more impact visually, but also having the property show up on many, many websites.
Virtual Tours – When it comes to Virtual Tours, the MATC has set the benchmark for other realtors in the area. Our virtual tours are well known for their content and clarity and our in-house marketing manager has become the “person to ask” regarding this effective advertising tool. Each photo shoot is scheduled to allow the time to capture the best lighting and incorporate the most admirable features of the home. Once the photo shoot is complete, the best shots are selected with emphasis placed on the best angle, lighting and position. They are then loaded into the computer where they are used for our virtual tours and various print applications.
Moving Truck – The MATC owns a courtesy moving truck that is available for all our clients. Whether they are locally moving in, moving out, or need to pick up furniture or other large items, our truck offers them the opportunity to get the job done. We also offer the truck to local organizations for any special needs they may have as a way to give back to the community we live and work in.
Pre-Inspection -When selling your home, you spend time and effort to get your home to look its best for buyers to come and see it. An offer comes in and after some negotiation, the offer becomes a contract. After the contract has been signed, the buyer will go to get their loan application signed and will set a time to have the home inspected. Often a seller can be a bit concerned about what a home inspection will reveal and what the buyers will ask to have repaired or replaced prior to closing. Depending on what the inspection reveals, renegotiation of the price or terms may happen. We want to help put the control of how and when repairs are made back in our seller’s hands. With this in mind, we have decided to offer our sellers the option of a Pre-listing home inspection.
When you list your home with the Marjorie Adam Team, we will arrange to have a certified home inspector come to your home and conduct an inspection before your home goes on the market. A summary report will be generated and given to us and to you. We will work with you to determine either what repairs should be made before the home goes on the market, what items can be given as a credit to the purchaser for them to repair or what adjustments need to be made to the list price due to the findings.
With the inspection done, you can put your house on the market with confidence that there aren’t any issues that you may be unaware of. This gives our sellers peace of mind and shows the buyers the home is “pre-approved.” Our sellers do have the option to not participate in this program if they choose. This is just one of the many services that you can receive when you list your home with us.
Pre-Staging – To get top dollar for your home, your home needs to be seen at its very best and stand out from similar homes in the marketplace. We want your home to distinguish itself from the competition. To do so, we have come up with a detailed staging plan and have created the Marjorie Adam Team Pre-staged home program.
Staging a home means having the home show in its best light by taking the time to see it as a home buyer would. When you live in your home, you don’t always see it the same way that a buyer or agent would. Since a home buyer will only spend a few minutes in your home, we want them to remember the fine details about the house, not about your personal items or what needs to be done to the home.
When you list your home with us, we will give you all of the details about this worthwhile program that will help your home sell more quickly and for a higher price.
Relocation – The MATC provides the most current data available to individuals looking to relocate to the Charlottesville,VA area. We do this not only from a business standpoint but also from personal experience, having grown up here and are now raising our own families here as well. We are confident that once you learn about our lovely town, you will quickly want to make it your home as well.
Open Houses – The MATC conducts both Realtor and Public Open Houses for our clients. We use all our available resources to inform other realtors and the general public about our listings. Our Open Houses are staffed by team members who are knowledgeable about each individual listing they attend and stand ready to answer any questions you may have.
Experience – The experience of the MATC can be measured in many ways. Collectively with all team members we can count our years of experience as 44 years with builders, sellers, and buyers.
Individually, each team member brings their own special area of expertise to the table. Three of the team members are currently licensed Realtors in the State of Virginia. One of our team members can speak 10 languages, another one of our team members can use sign language, another one of out team members worked in advertising for 15 years, yet another team member has a degree in Psychology. All of these fine qualities along with our superior level of communication with our clients, make us the Team You Want To Tell Your Friends About.
Kid Ready – The MATC realizes that kids play an important role in the moving and selection process. In the selection process their unfiltered honesty is valuable and we often say that they are our favorite clients due to this. Kids react differently to change at different times in their lives and we try to make them all feel comfortable and involved in the process. We have put together a coloring book and have a portable DVD player for times when the process becomes too long or involved for them. For when their family’s home goes on the market, we include them with a small task list which will allow them to feel as if they are helping their parents get the home ready to show. We also supply recommendations for easing the transition for children enduring longer distance moves Above all of this we truly enjoy children and encourage them to be part of the process.
