Having completed several hundred home sales per year, we know what makes your house and property stand out from the crowd. It's a proven fact that a clean, well maintained, and organized house with curb appeal will ultimately get a higher price than one that is in poor shape and un-kept. Presenting your house in its best light both online, in pictures, and in-person when potential buyers view the home involves a deep cleaning and minor repairs. When a potential buyer enters your house, you only have a few seconds to make a great impression. One of our agents will review your house and provide professional advice on how to best prepare your house for the market. For a more thorough list, please read our guide to Preparing and Staging Your Home To Sell for the best price.

The difference between an experienced agent skilled in negotiations and one that isn't can be the difference in netting you thousands of dollars more. Much is gained or lost during the contract negotiations. When an offer is presented on your property you will have to negotiate the following terms and conditions with the potential buyer:

• Purchase Price
• Settlement Date
• Deposit Amount
• Contingencies such as Financial & Inspections

For the best results, hire one of Railey Realty's expert agents to represent you.

In the days leading up to settlement, the seller must complete any agreed-upon repairs to be made, notify the various utility companies to change service, and notify the homeowner's insurance agent that the property is being sold. Due to distance, many sellers do not attend closings in person at Deep Creek Lake. Doing the settlement by e-mail and overnight mail are common. However, if all parties are present, closings are held at a title company or settlement attorney's office. The sellers will be asked to sign the deed, closing disclosure, and any other forms required. The closing attorney will then record the new deed and discharge all previous obligations of the seller. We pledge to provide our seller clients with timely information and the highest level of assistance throughout the entire selling process. Our professional support staff takes great pride in their work and are committed to making every transition a pleasant experience.
