HOMESELLER INFORMATION

Exposure and correct pricing has always been the key to maximizing any sale. Your home sale price will be subjective. How much will someone pay for your home at the time you decide to sell? Your home could be the exact Grand Rapids Home that someone has been looking for, but couldn't find. Of course, the Grand Rapids market is a factor of how much you will get, but finding the right buyer is a big plus as well. We expose your home more than any agent in the Grand Rapids or Lakeshore area.

Andrew Ingram and the Platinum Realty Group have always had the belief of education and think it's essential to interview at least 2 agents before you hire someone to represent and expose your greatest asset to the marketplace.

Note: Your listing is only as good as your agent. The real estate broker is there to employ agents, not to sell your house. Make sure your agent has control of advertising, internet exposure etc.

If you currently own real estate and are thinking of placing it on the market, you will find information on Preparing Your Home for sale, Selecting The Right Agent, Pricing Your Home appropriately, Marketing It Effectively, going through the inspection process and receiving a timely Market Evaluation. Pricing your home correctly is 80% of the sale and is THE most important step, especially in a competitive buyer's market. If your home is in Foreclosure, if you need to negotiate a Short Sale with the bank or are upside down in your mortgage, we might be able to help you. At the very least we can offer you advice on what to do.

FREE HOME EVALUATION
In a competitive buyer's market correct pricing can be the difference between multiple offers and having your home sit on the market while other homes in the neighborhood get sold.
We use the latest technology when marketing to positively effect your results.

GRAND RAPIDS SHORT SALES
SELL YOUR HOME AND BRING NO MONEY TO CLOSE
If you are facing hardship, rest assured that you are not alone. If you owe more than your home is worth and need to sell your home, we can help you avoid a foreclosure on your record by negotiating a short sale with your lender.

FREE CONSULTATION
We can provide a FREE Comparative Market Analysis and a Seller's Net Sheet which will show the exact numbers from the transaction.
We can also provide you our expert opinion of needed repairs and staging tips. Set an appointment with us before you spend any money preparing your home.
