Fairfield Glade Homes; Seller Frequently Asked Questions

Seller Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is your primary real estate market area?

I specialize in Fairfield Glade real estate but Crossville and Cumberland County, Tennessee are also included in my primary real estate market areas.

2. What is the importance of your years of experience in providing professional real estate advice and guidance?

I offer many years of professional real estate agent and broker experience. Real estate sales are complex transactions that most people only do several times in their lives. My experience and commitment to keeping up with new advances in real estate means that I am able to guide you through the complexities of the sale and help make sure the result is a successful closing.

Finding an interested buyer is only part of the process. Making sure that negotiations and the numerous details are handled correctly is also a vital part of any real estate transaction. Heading off potential trouble spots and effectively dealing with problems that arise can save you thousands of dollars, lots of time and reduce the stress involved in any real estate sale.

3. What benefits do I receive by listing my property with you?

By listing your property for sale with Karen Bertram and Happy Hound Realty, you receive two very important benefits: (1) Tremendous exposure to both home buyers and real estate agents that your property receives; (2) The marketing expertise and professional advice and guidance that I provide in order to maximize the potential of that exposure.

4. How will home buyers and real estate agents find out that my property is for sale?

Your property will be featured on this website, on the Happy Hound Realty website and it will be placed on our area Multiple Listing Service, which will make the property available on hundreds of websites featuring property searches such as Realtor.com, Immobel.com and most Fairfield Glade and Crossville area companies and agent websites.

5. How will your marketing expertise benefit the sale of my property?

I will assist in the three P’s to help sell your property: Pricing, Preparation and Presentation. We will evaluate your property in order to determine its fair market value in today’s marketplace, advise you on steps you can take to improve the value and marketability and present your property at its best.

6. Why is it important to market my property to real estate agents as well as potential buyers?

The Multiple Listing Service is a powerful tool in selling your property. By effectively presenting your property on the MLS and offering a commission to other real estate agents who secure a buyer for it, you are opening up the potential marketplace for your property to the many buyers who rely on their buyer’s agent to find them the right property. You are also giving those agents the incentive to show and sell your property.

7. Do I have to pay any money up-front?

No. My fees are paid at closing.

8. I am interested. What is the next step?

I offer a free initial consultation to determine if it makes sense for us to work together on the sale of your property.

During this initial consultation we will look at your property and answer any questions you might have about the process. If you decide you are ready to move forward, we will complete the necessary paper work and start down the path toward a successful sale of your property.
