Hi Seller,
When you’re looking for a partner to help you negotiate the complexities of selling a home, you’ve come to the right place. The experience, dedication and strong communication you’ll receive here will help ensure the successful and profitable sale of your home:
Whether you are just thinking of selling, or you are ready to go, it is always good to involve a professional real estate agent, as early as possible, in the process – even one or two years ahead of time. You don’t want to spend money on a house that you are leaving, or that won’t bring you a return of your investment. But you might want to spend money in the right places to optimize your sales price.
Call Nelda Patterson, REALTOR today, to schedule a complimentary consultation and market analysis of your property.
