Are you offering too much?
Partial information and misinterpretation of market data can be very costly. There is a wide variance in the competence of agents based on their commitment levels to their business and ongoing education. The information you receive is as good as the person conveying the facts by the way they collect, present and interpret the data.
  • Fair market value is determined through due diligence and expert interpretation of ALL the facts.
  • Agents can easily make mistakes and skew facts to support their opinions.
  • Some so called ‘comparable sales’ may not be an accurate source of comparable value. Jeanine’s rigorous due diligence exposes the facts beneath the surface such as: significant seller contractual concessions such as paying for work orders, major property defects corrected or accepted as is, such as a new roof (lenders have requirements such as the maximum number of layers on a composition roof. The buyer may want a new roof, the seller may assert the lender does not require one), valuable included items such as appliances or a boat, and other transactional issues (not of public record) that affect value. 
How qualified is the agent advising you and who do they represent?
Even preliminary information can steer a potential buyer in one direction or another.  Ask Jeanine about issues like: how to determine true property condition, new permit requirements for remodel work, or the latest home insurance problem areas.
