Sell Your Shafter Property for a Stronger Net

Sellers often fixate on the list price, but the figure that matters is the one at the bottom of the closing statement. Between those two numbers sit commission, credits, repairs, escrow costs and any concessions made along the way. Shafter Real Estate Agent represents sellers of homes, farmland, commercial buildings and investment property with that bottom line in view from the first meeting. We price from closed comparable sales and explain each adjustment, so you know the number will hold up when buyers and appraisers look closely. We help you decide which pre-listing repairs pay for themselves and which do not. The property is then marketed to draw as many qualified buyers as possible, since competition is the seller's best negotiating tool. When offers come in, we place them side by side on estimated net proceeds, factoring in financing strength, deposits, contingency lengths and requested credits. A higher price with heavy concessions can lose to a cleaner offer, and you will see exactly why. After acceptance, we manage disclosures, respond to inspection requests with care and hold escrow to its dates until the sale funds.
