Everyone Involved In The Sale of Your Home

Good morning, Marilyn. Thank you for drawing attention to the importance of small business to the local community and overall economy. 

You might not know this, I am a small business owner. That’s right. Most real estate agents, including myself, operate as independent contractors under the legal and administrative umbrella of a brokerage. So when you hire me, you are hiring a small business owner. 

In fact, there are more than a dozen small businesses involved in the real estate transaction, before, during and after the purchase or sale. As a downsizing expert, I have every professional service you could ever need pre-screened and ready to go. 

Here’s a brief rundown all the professionals we typically hire on your behalf:

• Sign post installation company
• The professional stager
• Photography
• Videography
• Graphic designer
• Printing company
• Social media content creator
• Real estate lawyer and staff
• Movers
• Home appraiser
• Home inspector
• Financing company - mortgage broker
• Brokerage staff

Whew! This list doesn’t even include all the allied service providers we might need to prepare the house for sale:

• Professional organizers and declutterers
• Painters
• Handyman services
• Landscaping and snow removal
• Etc etc.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the number of “moving pieces” involved in selling (pun intended) then let me reassure you that coordinating a smooth transition is exactly what hiring an experienced, concierge-service Realtor™ is all about. At SMART Realty Solutions, we’re experts in managing each aspect of your next SMART move. We’re your one point of contact for the dozen or so other services that are involved. Think of us as a general contractor, or a project manager, or better yet, a party planner! 

If you’d like to enjoy your retirement years with less work and worry, and more money and freedom, then moving to a more manageable home might be the SMART thing to do. 

Hiring the right small business - one dedicated to serving downsizing seniors - is definitely a key decision to make. Since this is radio you can’t see me, but if you could you’d see my hand raised and a smile on my face. I’d love to ask you for the opportunity to interview for the job of being your Realtor.™

And if you’re not ready yet, that’s perfectly fine too. I would welcome you to check out the free, downloadable resources we have available to give you the information you need to make a SMART decision. Get informed, get empowered, and whenever the time comes, we’ll be here with our dozen or so of allied service providers waiting to jump into action.
