So you have decided to sell your property. Before anything else, it is a good idea to sit down and clarify your motivations and draw up a basic time frame for the selling process. Why do you want to sell your property? Do you intend to simply find a larger property, or do you plan on moving to another neighborhood, school district, city or state?
Our home selling process has been perfected for over 36 years. From our first communication, to our initial home consultation, to the contract and onto closing you win. Because of our reputation, you will experience an average of 5-10% improved net proceeds at closing. Selling Real Estate in this market for more than 36 years gives us the unique ability to advise on market timing, giving you a competitive advantage.
Let's start with understanding real estate commissions. Whether or not you elect to have buyer representation, this commission has already been determined contractually and is still due to the seller's agent/company. Most often, taking a buyers agent out of the equation will save neither the buyer or the seller any money, and it also results in under-representation (or a total lack of representation altogether) for the buyer.
It is important to talk to a loan officer early in the buying process. This gives you and your Realtor the knowledge of what you are qualified to spend on a new home. By setting expectations upfront, we'll be able to narrow your search criteria and focus on those homes that make the most sense with your budget and future monetary goals.
Be clear about what you are looking for. Identify and communicate what is important to you and why. Develop a sense of what you want to see when you drive up that generates a sense of "home" to you.
We are able to search on a wide variety of features that most people aren't aware of; if you can't live in a house without hardwood floors, central AC, or you just don't like the looks of the brick exterior - we can define our search based on those parameters.Please let us know what your absolute requirements are and we can save you a lot of time during the search process.

Great team to help you sell or buy a home. The group of people worked well together to coordinate all the aspects of effectively marketing our home to reach many buyers. The knowledge base of local providers to assist with services from small finishing touches, to home inspections made the process easy and smooth from selling one house to buying another. Our experience was positive and we would recommend Ryan Platzke to our friends and family.

There are no better guys to work with when selling your home! They take action the second you call, put together a thorough marketing strategy to ensure you have the best visibility possible for your property, and make the selling process seamless. We listed our house last summer and had an over-asking price within 24 hours! Thanks Ryan!

My experience with Ryan began in 2004 as I moved an existing listing over to him to get better results. Plain and simple, Ryan delivered. When the time came years later to sell an investment property, I again turned to Ryan who had a Sold sign in the yard within a week. If you are the type who prefers the best, forget the rest, and go straight to Ryan.
