Our List of Services
Free Broker Consultation and Price Opinion:
When we meet with you at your home, we’ll give you a good idea of what your home is likely worth as well as what we feel it should be listed at. Our opinions are based on comparable sold properties in the area, our years of experience, and our understanding of the market.
Complimentary Home Staging Consultation:
Getting your home looking just right is one of the most important steps in the preparation process. In addition to the suggestions, we’ll have for you, we also bring in our award-winning home stager who will prepare a detailed, room-by-room to-do list. This visit will also give her a chance to assess the property and any actual ‘staging’ needs that the home may need as well.
Custom Home Measurement and Floor Plan:
For most properties, we’ll have your home professionally measured and generate a beautiful floor plan. Buyers appreciate this and it’s also a good way to ensure that the depicted square footage is accurate. This is one of the many services we provide that most agents do not.
Professional Photography:
Professional photography is something we strongly believe in. To us, that means bringing in one of the best photographers in the region. It’s easy to see the difference in our work versus most.
Drone Photography and Video:
Drone photography is one of the neatest forms of marketing in existence. It allows for beautiful overhead shots of your home that can’t be taken with traditional photography and shows characteristics of your lot that might otherwise be missed.
Virtual Tour:
For certain homes, we may bring in a videographer to shoot more of a full-motion type of video for that added touch. The size, style, location, and price point of the home help determine if this type of marketing is worth adding to the mix.
Facebook Marketing/Digital Advertising:
Targeted digital marketing on Facebook is something we do over and beyond what your typical real estate firm will do. We like to place enticing ads in front of likely home buyers and current homeowners within a certain number of miles of your home. This creates a buzz, gives your home added exposure, and increased the likelihood that we’ll get your home sold fast and at a higher price.
Multiple Listing Service (MLS): **Added to multiple Colorado MLS systems
The local MLS (multiple listing service) is THE main database of real estate listings in our local market. It is crucial that your home is listed here because once listed on the MLS, it then trickles to sites all over the region and country.
Syndication across Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, and National Portals:
We want your home listing to be seen by as many prospective home buyers as possible. To do that, we need to go to where they’re at. Besides the local company real estate firm websites like www.TheCerettoGroup.com – home shoppers also frequent popular national portals like Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, and a few others. Not all real estate companies show their listings on Zillow but we have agreed to.
Central Showing Service:
We use two centralized showing services called “Showing Time and Broker Bay” to facilitate showings of your home. Buyers agents go through these services to request appointments to see your home based on your instructions. We can track showings and feedback, manage various things through their app, and simply make it easier to get your home shown.
Contract Negotiations:
Contract negotiations aren’t just about the price of your home. There are many other important terms of a contract, such as due diligence and closing dates, due diligence and earnest money amounts, closing costs, dealing with multiple offers. And then, once under contract, we deal with the “second set of negotiations” in inspections and repairs. Deals can easily be lost or made here. Having an experienced negotiator with a good reputation and the ability to work nicely with other professionals is another thing that sets us apart. There IS a difference.
Transaction Management:
For us, transaction management is more than simply helping you with paperwork. It’s helping you to always understand what’s next and what to expect, guiding you through complicated documents with ease, helping you understand various terminology and options. We want you to feel confident and in the know about the entire selling process.
