1.

2.		Strong Expertise in Market Data & Pricing – As a home seller, you should rightfully demand that your Realtor has a deep understanding of the market conditions and trends in your specific area of Northern Virginia and can demonstrate how that impacts your home listing. Our job is to educate you with all of the latest market data available to make optimal pricing decisions and to position your home in the best possible light in today’s market.
3.		Exceptional Web Marketing – The Internet plays a critical role in marketing your home, and we use a diverse internet approach based on current technology and current online home search & buying trends. We focus on modern, market-relevant methods to real estate sales, and thus we place a greater emphasis on web marketing than many other Realtors. This includes a dedicated web site for your home, multiple Internet listing services, extensive photography for slide shows or video tours, podcasting, and more.
4.		Robust Non-Web Marketing – Aside from our special focus on internet marketing, we fully utilize the many “offline” methods to sell your home. This includes 24/7 caller information lines, open houses, on-property signage and directional signs, detailed home information brochures, broker networking, home staging, Realtor follow-up to showings, targeted announcements, and many other marketing methods.
5.		Short Sale Expertise – In today's economy, it has become quite common for homeowners to be in a selling situation where their mortgage amount exceeds the value of their home.  In this situation, sellers often ask the bank to approve a "short sale".  It is crucial that sellers work with a real estate team like ours who can explain the many considerations when attempting a short sale, and has experience at working through the unique short sale process.  We know how to navigate the intricate bank processes, and we also work closely with a legal team of professional short sale negotiators who are also looking out for your best interests.
6.		Deep Negotiation and Sales Contract Proficiency – Let our formal training and extensive application of contract negotiations keep the contract terms as much in your favor as possible. Aside from proven negotiation skills, we thoroughly understand the pitfalls and potential consequences of various terms & clauses within the sales contract, and we put that knowledge to work for you in looking out for your best interests.

9.		Convenient Access to Related Services – The process of selling your home may require additional services beyond those of a licensed Realtor. If you should happen to need a handyman, or a real estate attorney, or a home stager, or an appraiser, or any other real estate-related services, we can provide “one stop shopping” of suggested service providers who may fit your needs.
10.		Recognized Character & Integrity – Traits such as integrity, honesty, and reliability are not just buzzwords with us – they are the foundation of our business. As professionals, these values mean everything to us and are the baseline for providing outstanding service to you. We are so pleased that our clients have recognized these values and have responded through doing repeat business with us, referring their friends & family, and providing terrific testimonials. We welcome you to speak with any past or present clients to inquire on the quality of our work and character.
