A Smarter Way To Sell Your Home
If you’ve ever sold a home, you know what it’s like to work with a typical agent. They list your property, manage a few showings, then walk away with a 6% commission check. The amount of equity lost simply doesn’t match the effort required to sell your home.
This often leaes home sellers frustrated with their real estate experience and the end results.
Other times, homeowners may opt to go with “For Sale By Owner” or a basic flat-fee listing option. The problem here is once your home is listed under these plans, you get little or no support afterward from these agencies.
Homeowners are left to fend for themselves and navigate their real estate transactions alone. Which ultimately leads to less money in their pockets and a miserable selling experience.
…but there is a better way.
Full Service Doesn’t Mean Full Price
Equity Kept’s flat-fee realtor program combines the best of both worlds. Sellers get the same top-notch marketing and support services as a traditional agency, but with the discounted savings of partnering with a licensed local Realtor.
Best of all, your dedicated agent stays with you from start to finish. No frustrating customer service lines or annoying call trees – you get direct access to a dedicated, licensed agent to answer your questions and alleviate any concerns.
Home sellers who are willing to do some of the work themselves can save thousands in commissions and keep more of their hard-earned equity. Just think – what could you do with an extra $14,500? That’s how much our clients save (on average) per transaction.
Submit Your Info
Call or complete our online form and tell us about your property to get started. A local licensed real estate agent will follow up with you ASAP and go over the entire process.
Receive Your Property Evaluation
We’ll discuss your unique property goals and objectives to determine if Equity Kept is a good fit. Our solution isn’t for everyone – but if you’re willing to roll your sleeves up (and follow our proven framework) you could save thousands in commissions and fees. After you sign up, we’ll do a comprehensive market analysis to determine exactly what your home is worth. Within 24 hours, you’ll receive your free property evaluation and know up-front what the flat-rate fee is to sell your home.
Complete All Prework
In the prep stage, we’ll order professional photographs for both the interior and exterior of the property. We’ll also provide a metal “For Sale” yard sign and an electronic lockbox for your front door. These modern lockboxes provide added security because only authorized agents can access them. Time-stamped log files track anyone who enters or exits your home during authorized showings. Equity Kept will also begin creating your detailed property summary. This is a critical step as the right photos and listing information can make or break a sale.
List The Property
Once everything is perfect, your listing will go live on the MLS, 3rd party real estate sites (Trulia, Zillow, etc.), and social media. We employ the exact same marketing strategies and services that full-price agents use to sell homes. But for a lot less than you’d expect to pay.
Show Your Home
As inquires start coming in, you’ll manage the dates and times when showings occur. Using our online scheduling tool, you control how and when buyers can visit your home. Confirm, deny, or reschedule appointments right from your phone. The app lets you verify showings (via text message) and allows agents to leave feedback about their visit. You don’t need to talk to anybody until potential buyers have real questions. This reduces the workload for sellers and makes the entire process less stressful.
Navigate and Accept Offers
As you receive offers, your designated agent will review each one and help you make an informed decision. This final transaction stage is critical as inspections, repairs, and appraisals can derail even the best offers. Rest easy. Your dedicated local agent will ensure buyers agents don’t bully you with lowball offers or get you to settle for less than you deserve. Once you accept an offer, the Equity Kept team will create all necessary legal documents in electronic format. Digital contracts are the most efficient way to communicate with buyers, sellers, and title agencies. Remember that as the seller, you get to choose the title agency – NOT the buyer. Many agents overlook this important detail or fail to fully explain it to their clients.
Closing Day
Wrapping up, Equity Kept coordinates with the title company to ensure everything runs smoothly. We help sellers understand what to expect at their signing and advise on how and when to wire money safely (and other common pitfalls). Sellers walk away with peace of mind knowing everything is in order, and they’ve received the highest possible return for their property.
