QUALITY YOU CAN COUNT ON

“Brazen Sotheby’s Realty was tireless on our behalf. They kept the whole process moving forward on every level and were

thorough, efficient, and very considerate. Through the difficulties, they pursued all approaches to expedite the problems and move

things forward at crucial points providing us with an experienced and knowledgeable team working for us. Can’t say enough about

how good they were all around.”Mr. and Mrs. Kontos

Brazen Sotheby’s did an outstanding job of preparing the listing, and supervising the excellent professional photos of our home for the

brochure and internet. Our home sold within 24 hours after going on the internet, and BSIR’s advice of the Bellevue housing market enabled

us to get even more for our home than we had expected.”Mr. and Mrs. Endrody

“Brazen Sotheby’s International Realty was very committed to getting the home sold. They went above and beyond in that role. If it wasn’t for their expertise and steadfastness I would have had a very difficult time.

My deepest gratitude.” Mrs. Prevost

I just wanted to take a few moments to say what a exceptional agency Brazen Sotheby’s International Realty is. They maneuvered us through the deal with ease and proficiency which we are both still in awe. I am truly impressed with the professional and efficient manner in which

they handled everything, as well keeping us informed moment to mo-ment. They are great!

PREPARING HOME FOR MARKETPreparing your home for the market is an integral step in selling your home. I have access to an extensive black book of vendors for your home preparation needs.

Small changes made to your home before placing it on the market can positively affect the days on market and the sales price.

HOME SELLING PROCESS

DETERMINING VALUEPricing your home with regards to today’s market requires research and up to date knowledge. I pride myself on staying on top of today’s market, as do all of my colleagues at Brazen Sotheby’s International Realty. Before going to market, I will have my pricing team visit your home and to determine a good listing price.

HOW DO WE STAY ON TOP OF TODAY’S MARKET?1. We see an average of 15 homes each per week. 2. We have the Northwest MLS feed all listing updates directly to our cell phones every hour. 3. We have collaboration meetings weekly where we keep abreast of the latest information possible. 4. Our firm presents a detailed Quarterly Market Report on our vast sales region. In this way we are kept up to date on the monthly perfomance of each microsegment of our region and the overall area. 5. We will work with our staff to prepare the most detailed market analysis possible, comparing your property to similar properties.

HOME SELLING PROCESS

26

OPEN HOUSESIn a day and age where homes are increasingly being viewed online, we still believe it is imperative to hold Broker Opens and public open houses. This allows buyers and the general public to experience how your home feels in real life. An internet tour can’t appeal to all five senses. Upon initially hitting the market, we strongly suggest debuting your home to brokers on the “broker’s tour” days, specific to each area. We will work with you to hold the house open when it is convenient for you. If you wish to have a special open, we have access to caterers and other vendors who will make a unique experience for buyers and brokers alike.
