Thinking of Selling?

Selling Real Estate?

Contact me for your free, no obligation Market Evaluation and professional opinion of your property's value in today's market.  Including an estimate of your closing costs and proceeds from the sale.

If you are like most sellers, the period of time when your home is on the market is inconvenient and stressful.  That's why I am fully committed to servicing you during the sales process. I believe the most important ingredient to my successful working relationship is communication.  Consistent, honest, and professional feedback is my promise to you.  Also, there will never be a time, day or night, that you can't get a hold of one of us to answer your questions.

I believe that there are two reasons why a property doesn't sell....price or marketing.

Once I meet with you and inspect your property, I will prepare a Free Market Evaluation for you.  This evaluation will consist of comparable homes that have recently sold in your area and also the homes that are currently on the market (your competition).  We will then review the evaluation together, discuss the market conditions, and your motivation to determine the best list price for your home. 

I will also prepare for you a "Seller's Net Sheet".  This is an estimate of all of your closing costs that I will prepare for you prior to listing your home and again when we receive an offer on your home. The Seller's Net Sheet will give you a good indication of what your proceeds from the sale would be and really helps to put things in perspective for sellers. This is a guarantee of service that states if you are not satisfied with my Marking Plan and My Service and if we cannot resolve the problem, you can terminate our agreement with no further obligations.  

I am committed to being completely honest in advising clients in regards to the pricing and marketability of their property, I know the only way they can achieve their goals and I, mine is by being honest and truthful with them even if it means losing a listing.  I design a specific Marketing Plan for each property that I represent. 

My objective is to show your property to as many qualified buyers as possible and to assist you in getting the highest possible price for your property with the least amount of inconvenience.  Together we will price your property fairly and agree on the best possible market plan.   

I use the Internet extensively by marketing on hundreds of websites including Realtor.com, Homes.com, Century21.com, Wisconsinhomes.com, wihomes.com, yahoo.com/realestate, homeadvisor.com, Century21Crossroads.com and my many personal websites, such as LaurasRealEstate.com and LauraStaude.com 

I'm confident that I can sell your property and obtain the results that you desire.  I want to be your Realtor. In return, I promise to give you the kind of service that you need to get your property sold.  Thank you for allowing me this opportunity!

Call 920.699.8121 or email Laura@LaurasRealEstate.com today for your Free No Obligation Personal Consultation.  I look forward to meeting with you and working together to meet your real estate goals.

Preparing Your Home For Sale

Whether you're ready to sell now or just curious about the process, we can help.  Many homeowners begin thinking about selling long before they are really ready to move!

The sale of property involves legalities that even a For Sale By Owner must conform to.  We provide the following services in preparing your home for sale.

1. Provide a free, no obligation market evaluation for your property.
2. Recommend that you consult with your favorite real estate attorney.
3. Provide an estimate of your cost of sale and your net equity based on your property.
4. Inform you of village ordinances which may apply to your property.
5. Explain Fair Housing Laws.
6. Provide you with a copy of the Seller Disclosure Act form.
7. Explain why offering a home warranty for your property may be in your best interest.
8. Help you decide if your property should be inspected by a certified home inspection service.
9. Locate your real estate property index number.
10. Help you determine which repairs are necessary and which are not.

Garage Sale Time

Now is a great time to get rid of all those unnecessary things you accumulated - things you no longer want or need - and bring in a little extra cash at the same time. 

A garage sale is not hard to prepare for and can be fun!  Enlist the help of the whole family in organizing and pricing your merchandise.  Perhaps you could arrange a joint sale with a few neighbors.  Advertise the sale in your local paper and with signs placed around the neighborhood.  Be prepared to bargain and drop prices, if necessary, to clear out your inventory.  Make arrangements with a local charity to collect all the leftover items after the sale.

Tax Deductible Moving Expenses

Many of the expenses connected with moving may be tax deductible, if the move is job related^*.  Some of these include:

• The cost of moving your household goods.
• Expenses incurred while house-hunting.
• Travel expenses during the move for you and your family.
• The cost of meals and temporary lodging for up to 30 days after you get the new job.
• The expenses, of selling your house and buying a new one.

To substantiate your claim, keep an accurate, detailed account of your moving expenses, including all receipts.

^* It is recommended that you consult with your own tax advisor or attorney to determine what is currently allowable under IRS codes specific to your individual circumstances.

Special Care for Pets & Plants

Moving companies are not allowed to handle the shipment of pets, so you will need to explore your alternatives.

Shipping animals by air is the fastest and most convenient method.  Most airlines are familiar with the care and handling requirements of animals.

If you must take your pet with you in the car, call ahead to make sure pets are allowed at your overnight stop.  Check with your veterinarian for hints that could make the trip more enjoyable for both you and your pet.  Before moving, be sure licenses and all vaccinations are up-to-date.

House plants do not travel well in the dark interior of moving vans.  Plants are difficult to pack and may have to survive several days without light and water.  Moving companies will not guarantee the condition of plants that are shipped and some states will not allow you to bring plants across their state line due to the possible transportation of harmful insects or diseased vegetation.   Check ahead before bringing plants with you to ensure that you will be allowed to cross state borders with them.
