In a competitive market where new homes for sale are added daily, getting the most for your home or property means doing more than putting a "For Sale" sign out front. Your listing needs to be seen in a variety of places in order to stand out. And sometimes the right buyer is out of state, or even in another country. To ensure sure your home gets noticed and sells without a hitch, consider working with The Silberman Team. It could mean the difference between no sale, and selling your home within weeks.  

Pre-Listing Services

• Before your home is listed, we will probably recommend repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the salability of your property. We can often recommend affordable, proven vendors and contractors that can help you with these tasks. Some suggestions we may make include:
  • Pressure washing your driveway or planting some shrubbery to enhance the curb appeal of your home
  • Staging your unfurnished home, or making some changes to the furniture and accessories in your home
  • Decluttering and depersonalizing your home to make it more appealing for buyers
• Taking into consideration the current market, the condition of your home and the location, we will help you determine fair market value on your home, to ensure that your home sells quickly and for top value. While your home is listed with us, we can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace and the price, financing, terms and condition of competing properties.
• If your home is "show ready," we can often list your home the same day. If not, we will work with you for as much time as needed to make sure it is completely ready to go
• We will advise you on how to get the most showings, how to prep your home for showings, and typical showing protocol
• We will provide you with all the forms needed to get the home properly listed (listing agreement, disclosures, etc.)

Listing Services

• We will market your home to other agents and the general public. The Silberman Team is a member of both listing services in the metro Atlanta area, GAMLS and FMLS. This ensures that your home will get maximum exposure to agents and the public
• We will post up to 16 photos on each listing service. A wide angle lens is used to capture more of the room and obtain better angles.
• Your listing will also be placed on a virtual tour, which is set to music
