When you decide to sell your home, you don’t just want a listing agent; you want a marketing specialist with a plan.

When I market your house, I use professional marketing techniques to make sure your home is advertised in the best fashion to the highest number of buyers possible. My job is to get you the most for your home in the least amount of time, with the least amount of inconvenience to you.

Working With Jay Jenkins

My Professional Marketing = Your Home Sold!

Where Will Your Home Buyer Come From?

Home buyers were asked where they learned about the home they purchased.

I get buyers excited about your home!
My marketing is designed to show buyers what makes your home special.

  • What would you tell a potential buyer makes your home a special?
  • Why did you decide to buy this home yourself? Was it the schools, location, etc.?
  • What are the things your family has loved the most about your house and the neighborhood?
  • What features of your home might a buyer overlook if they saw the home quickly?
  • Why will it be hard to leave your home?

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

You need a buyer’s first impression to be a good one.

Compare photos from my sold listings.

I use a professional D-SLR with a wide angle lens to capture the space.

I do professional post processing on my photos.

  I Make Your Home Stand out!

“What’s Your Home Worth?”

Our Goal is to select a price that generates offers, by finding market acceptance.

This is determined more by where the competing homes are priced and not just appraised value.

This is why I do a Total Market Overview, to shop for your home from a buyer’s point of view to see how it competes.

Price and competing homes are key buyer motivators!

  • Buyers look in the price range determined by what they can afford.
  • A buyer who is seriously looking will quickly become knowledgeable about what to expect in their price range. An unreasonable asking price only discourages the buyer from looking at your property.
  • If you plan to adjust your price at the time of sale, it is better to list at that price. This will attract more buyers from the beginning. This can lead to multiple offers; this is the best situation for you.
  • Buyers tend to make very low offers on properties they feel are overpriced.
  • Overpriced homes usually get less because fewer buyers will consider it.
  • Homes that sit on the market for a long time receive lower offers.
  • Receiving offers quickly does not mean you priced to low, but shows that you priced correctly. Statistically this leads to the highest offers.

You Can Relax…
I Guide You Through the Process

Presentation of Offers

  1. All Offers will be presented to you and explained.
  2. I will speak with the other agent to gather as much intel as I can about their buyers flexibility and how much they want the house.
  3. I’ll explain all the terms of the contract so that you thoroughly understand what the buyer is offering and what their conditions are.
  4. Expert advice on the strength of the offer and the fairness of the terms.
  5. A full net sheet showing your bottom line if you accept the offer.
  6. The current competition to your home.
  7. Any comments from the other agent related to the offer.

Negotiating the Sale

I have experience negotiating many types of contracts:

  1. I will always explain the risks and reward of all actions in a negotiation.
  2. You will know how every offer affects your bottom line.
  3. I am tough but reasonable, and work for a deal that is the best for you.
  4. You will be kept informed every step of the way.
