The Home Sale Process

Selling your house can be a highly emotional process. Most sellers aim to accomplish three simple goals:

1. Obtain the best price possible
2. Do so in the shortest amount of time
3. Do so with the least inconvenience
4. Pay Reasonable Fees, $4900-$5600 regardless of sale price.

With 34 years of experience, Matt Quagliano® knows how to sell. For his clients, he always goes the extra mile to ensure a great transaction experience. Matt will:

• Analyze Your House

He will determine the market value and set a competitive, strategic asking price. Matt will consider your property’s location and features, relevant and comparable sales and current supply and demand.

• Get the Maximum Exposure in the Media

Matt will create an individual website for each house using high-quality photos and descriptive text. He will answer all email inquiries quickly on your behalf, list your property on relevant local platforms and maintain the transaction’s marketing needs.

• Strategize Showings

Matt has developed a method for showing his houses that almost always results in multiple offers and interests, allowing sellers to list at top price.

• Negotiate the Best Sale Possible

Matt employs a “no nonsense” method of negotiation that makes sure buyers understand the seller’s goals, and sellers obtain the best price possible. Matt lets people know, right up front, sellers are not interested in completing frivolous home inspection repairs.

• See it Through to Closing

Matt’s expert administrative assistant follows every transaction from start to finish, ensuring that every house closes as quickly and effortlessly as possible. We will typically aim to close within 60 days or a timeframe that works for both the buyer and seller.

Increasing Your Home’s Appeal

Preparation is the key to success with just about every real estate transaction. Matt Quagliano will walk through the house with you a few times, analyzing and strategizing staging and presentation of the house to maximize a buyer’s greatest emotional reaction.

• 1. Take a good, objective look at your property from the curb

What do you like about its curb appeal? What made you want to purchase it in the first place? What small, inexpensive projects can make it look even better? While you don’t want to put too much money into renovations, simple screen, paint and window fixes can drastically enhance its appeal.

• 2. Take a good, objective look at your property from the front door

From there, walk through your house and really take in its design. Is there excessive clutter that might deter a potential buyer? Are there one or two furniture pieces that are taking up too much room? Is your floor clean and clear? Every small change can make the world of a difference.

• 3. Take a good, objective look at your bathroom(s) and kitchen

Any “dated” appliances and design elements will most likely be added to a mental list of necessary updates that potential buyers might see. To make these spaces look their most presentable, limit any clutter and do your best for it to appear clean and comforting. An accurate asking price reflects modifications that many buyers will want to make upon closing. 

• 4. Take a good, objective look at your lighting

Getting a great reaction is often more related to lighting and light exposure than we may realize. This often overlooked detail sets the mood in every area of the home, whether it be relaxing, natural or bright. Regardless of wattage, every fixture should work when switched to “on.”

How Matt Will Promote Your House

1. Matt will work with the homeowner to ensure that the property’s appearance is prepared to go to market.
2. When prepared, we place the house on the market and upload all related information to Real Estate Web Sites.
3. We will create a specific site just for your listing (for example www.158CrestwoodAve.com and www.373WoodwardAve.com).
4. We announce opening day to start showings about one week (or when best) following placement of the information online. The house circulates among 30-40 websites and buyers become aware of the house, creating and enhancing a “pent up” demand that will be a virtual explosion of showings on opening day.
5. A few days before we have our opening day for showings, Matt will have the house cleaned (this is included in the listing at no extra cost).
6. When Opening Day arrives, we strategically show the house over a 2-3-day period. If all goes as planned and we assign the exact right asking price, we will have 2-3 or more immediate offers among buyers and we will obtain a sale price at or over asking.

Reasonable Fee Options

• LISTING SIDE: $4900-$5600 is the fee, paid at closing. The real estate fee remains fixed and does not increase with a higher sale price.

• We will negotiate and offer a “Buyer Agent” commission that is effective and reasonable.

• Never any extra transaction fees or add on costs
