What Makes Engel & Völkers Different

With a background in the home building and renovation sphere, we're known for sharing our thoughts & insight around the best ROI improvements that potential buyers will love.

 

 

 

 

We take care of the professional photography, videography and all other marketing including print and online ads to ensure your home is shown in the best light across all mediums.

 

 

 

 

We take a consultative approach to the sale of your home that is about far more than checking boxes or merely closing the deal. We think outside of the box and utilize all resources, tools and information necessary to help you achieve your goals. 
 

1. IN-HOME CONSULTATION
To start, you’ll give us a tour of your home where we’ll learn your story, what you love about your home, and any upgrades you’ve already done. We’ll walk through together and thoroughly assess what projects should be considered, determine the amount of de-cluttering or staging needed, discuss your timeline and best strategy for selling, evaluate your property & follow up with a personalized prep-plan.
2. PRE-LISTING PREP PLAN
First impressions are key, so before the ‘for sale’ sign goes up, we will direct you on how to get your home ready for the market with a suggested to-do list and vendor contacts to help complete anything you choose to do. You’ll fill out all seller’s disclosures, and we’ll order inspections to take place so we don’t have any surprises when your home goes active to potential buyers. We’ll establish a timeline of when we plan to get your home on the market and keep everyone on track. 
3. START PACKING
If you can, get a storage pod or unit and start packing up, a little at a time. Not only will this help you with the eventual move, but a home that isn’t overloaded with furniture and personal items just shows better.
4. MARKETING
Over 90% of buyers begin their searches online. Our personal commitment is ensuring that your listing is shown in the best possible light, to the greatest number of people— Every single listing of ours includes a pro photography, video and drone package optimized for both print and web. 
5. STRATEGIC PRICING
Pricing your home properly from its first day on the market is critical to your success as a seller. Your home will get the most buyer exposure immediately after it’s listed, so pricing it right from the beginning is crucial to achieve the highest return in the least amount of time.
6. THE OFFER

When an offer or offers are generated, we will contact you immediately. Together we will review every item in the offer so that you thoroughly understand what the buyers are asking for.

 

After we have reviewed the offer, we will either:
1) accept the offer
2) negotiate with a counteroffer
3) reject the offer on your behalf

7. NEGOTIATIONS

During the negotiation process, consider us your trusted representatives. We will evaluate all the options and strategies, taking the market conditions, other offers, and your personal requirements under consideration.

 

At this stage, our top priority is ensuring that your objectives are fully met.

8. PROCESSING THE SALE

Now comes the critical period of the home selling process. We will be in close communication with the buyer’s agent and lender as well as our title and escrow team, ensuring important milestones are achieved and contract deadlines met along the way.

Along the way, we will work diligently to smooth out any bumps that might arise in our journey to closing.

9. THE CLOSING

As a seller, your signing appointment may happen as early as a week in advance of closing. We will be checking in often with the buyer’s lender, ensuring their loan documents reach escrow in time for a smooth and on-time closing.

On closing day, documents are recorded with the County, proceeds are disbursed, and we will coordinate the key transfer to the buyers.
