Request a Free Presentation On How We Will Market and Sell Your Home. Remember, All REALTORSŪ Are NOT Alike.  A "Listing Presentation" is an industry term for the formal presentation that a REALTORŪ makes to prospective home sellers, trying to earn their trust and business. Don't list your home with a real estate agent without it! We would love the opportunity to make such a presentation to you. We'll visit your Washington D.C., NW Washington DC, and Chevy Chase, DC area home, and together we will walk through it, considering the positives and negatives (if any!). You will then see exactly how we would propose to sell your home, for as much as the market will bear, and within your time frame. We will tell you where I will advertise your home, both in print and on the web. With the dramatic growth in homebuyer usage of the web, you MUST have a top REALTORŪ that can extensively market your home online! And you'll find out what your Washington D.C., NW Washington DC, and Chevy Chase, DC area home is worth, because part of our presentation will include a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) of your home. We'll compare your home to others like it in Washington D.C., NW Washington DC, and Chevy Chase, DC that have recently sold, and also to others that are currently for sale. This is a very important way of determining the fair market value of your home. We make free presentations and prepare CMAs for prospective home sellers every day. We've literally done hundreds, and we know exactly what puts a big SOLD sign in your front yard.  Yes, you can request a FREE in-home presentation of how we would market your property in Washington D.C., NW Washington DC, and Chevy Chase, DC! We do these presentations for people all the time. It's our job! There's no obligation, and we'll get back to you quickly... 
Making An Offer >Evaluating the First Offer
Your dining room table is the scene of high drama. Your home has been listed for sale for six weeks, and finally, the first offer has come in. You are meeting with the agents, and are very excited until they mention the price--it is a lot less than you expected.
Before you feel offended, however, remember that the first offer is often just the beginning of a negotiating process. Your agent can help you weigh the good and bad points, evaluating the price in relationship to the terms or conditions of the sale. Sometimes an offer with a low price can look quite attractive once you understand all of the terms. If you are willing to make some compromises, the buyers may accept a counter offer that will give you more money. A lower price from highly qualified buyers may be better than one from people who may have difficulties with financing. Keep in mind that your first negotiated price is often your best price!
