In this, the 10th and final Client Commandment, we cover the basics of the Closing Disclosure, and the things you really should know about before you sit down at the closing table.  We bring you up to speed about the things you should question, and the things that really are normal.

We also get in to some story telling about a home warranty company that really needs to be called out for being sleazy.  Enjoy the fireworks!

Not all offers are the same.  There are many ways a crafty buyer can hide costs in their offer that reduce the overall value of deal for you as a seller.  This is one of the many reasons why you need a competent, detail oriented agent looking out for your best interests in your transaction.

In this episode, we delve in to some of the nooks and crannies that make up the offer and walk you through your options when you're selling your home.  For example, did you know that your buyer's source of financing can have an impact on the total amount of money you end up with in your pocket?  I didn't know that either until we recorded this episode!

Recently, Karen was representing a set of buyers who found a house that they really liked.  It was in the neighborhood they wanted, it was exactly the right size for their family, and it (almost) fit their budget.  Truth be told, according to the data on other similar homes that had recently sold in the neighborhood, it was overpriced by about $20,000.

Join as we discuss Seller's Commandment 1:  “Thou shalt not be surprised how much work it takes to sell thy home”. Karen, Kevin, and Gil talk about the process Realtors follow and the amount of work a good Realtor will do in order to successfully sell your home, and earn their commission. Listen as we go through a high level process for preparing your home, writing up and reviewing contacts from listing to closing. The art and talent required to write up listings, market your home, and produce photographs that present the best view of your home for the active sale process. Remember, a good Realtor needs your full participation and assistance to properly prepare and sell your home.
