Market Analysis
In addition to effectively marketing the property, the single most important determinant of whether the property will sell or not, is setting the right price for the property. From my years of experience, I have a vast knowledge of the inventory– past sales and the current inventory—which can help you assess the market and your position as compared to other properties Sold and Actively listed, ultimately giving you a higher net.
Home Staging
As part of my listing services and as a member of my team, Anna Adair, a certified home staging expert, is available to walk through your home and provide written recommendations on how to best prepare your home for sale [A Guide to Staging Your Home will give you some tips to get started]
Professional Photographs
High quality photos are not just a requirement for high priced properties. Online buying prospects move quickly past a property with limited or poor photos and since buyers complete 60-70% of their research on line before contacting a Realtor, how your property is presented is critical.

Virtual Tours
Homes with virtual tours provide a better visual experience, allow the buyer to see the flow of the property and are viewed many more times than properties without virtual tours. [Here are some of my recent tours. Outrigger House, Southern Exposure, Villa Anodyne]
Internet Marketing
The vast majority of Homebuyers begin their search on line so it critical to have a strong presence on the two most- used search portals, Zillow which in 2015 will also own Trulia and Realtor.com. As a Zillow Premier Agent and with enhanced Showcase Listings on Realtor.com I can give your property the type of exposure that is required.
My personal site, LuxurySt ThomasRealEstate.com offers a wealth of information on the buying process, a consumer friendly IDX link to our MLS as well as Featured Homes and Community information to keep consumers returning. For listings over 500K, they will also be featured on LuxuryRealEstate.com, an international site highlighting exceptional properties worldwide.
Broker Open House
Not all Realtors take the time to host a Realtor open house but since most people still ultimately purchase through a Realtor, it is important to promote your property to other Realtors as well as the public.
Negotiation and Transaction Management
Experience is important throughout the selling process but perhaps most importantly in the Contract phase. I understand where issues may arise and am attentive to your transaction from Offer to Closing.
Concierge Services
Whether it is helping you find a mover, a handyman or cleaning service or assisting in the transfer of utilities to the new owner, I can help you find the resources you need.
