Upon engaging Pacific-Realtors.net as your marketing agent to sell your house, we will do the following:
- Prepare a Comparative Market Analysis to assist in establishing an ideal listing price and probable selling price.
- Prepare an attractive, detailed marketing brochure, which will include color photographs of the property plus a description of features and benefits. The brochure will be made available to the brokerage community by mail, email, and at frequent open houses.
- Advertise your property on those websites that we believe will assist in generating qualified prospects.
- Hold frequent open houses in order to expose the property to both prospective buyers and other real estate agents.
- Place your property listing into the Multiple Listing Service. This will expose the property to thousands of sales agents. The majority of sales in Southern California take place with cooperating brokers and agents.
- Mail Open House post cards to homes in the area in order to generate prospective buyers.
- Place an attractive For Sale sign on the property.
- Prequalify all prospective buyers in order to make certain they will qualify for any required financing and have the cash available to perform.
- Arrange new financing for the buyer, if requested. See: Glossary of Real Estate Loan Terms
- Coordinate all inspections, corrective work, if required, and prepare all sales documents and escrow instructions.
- Work with the buyers, escrow officer, property inspectors, title company, appraiser, and any other parties involved in the sale, in order to expedite the closing.
- Coordinate possession dates and complete the transaction in a timely manner.
- We can also assist you in acquiring additional rental properties or selling your rental property to an investor who wants a tenant occupied property.
- We can assist you in exchanging your rental home for a small apartment or commercial building.
Pacific-Realtors.net has a team of real estate agents who focus primarily on representing sellers, (listing or seller's agents), agents who focus primarily on representing people who want to acquire a home (buyer's agents), and agents that represent both buyers and sellers in a single transaction (dual agents).
When you decide to have one of our real estate agents represent you, the agent will discuss whether his or her representation will be that of a listing or seller's agent, a buyer's agent, or possibly a dual agent. This is both important and required by California law. You will also be given an agency disclosure document to read and sign. More information about the agency disclosure document is on this website. We urge you to read it because it is designed for your protection. In addition, there are several articles on this site designed to help buyers and sellers of real estate.
We urge all home buyers to visit California School Ratings for information about local school ratings and comparisons. Buyers should also visit: Map of High-Risk Fire Hazard Areas.

Before You Shop at a New Home Development
-
- When you walk into the sales office immediately let them know you are represented by a Realtor. Otherwise, they may withhold information that your agent will need in order to protect your interests. They may also prevent you from being represented. This is a common occurrence.
-
- Be aware that if you disclose that you are represented by a Realtor, the builder will compensate your agent at no cost to you. Ideally, give them one of our business cards.
-
- It is extremely unlikely that the builder will not be using the standard California Association of Realtors purchase agreement which has been designed to be fair to both buyers and sellers. It is likely the builder will attempt to utilize a contract written by a law firm that is very one-sided in the home builders favor. Extreme caution must be exercised before signing anything. It may require modification or an addendum.
-
- Remember that the sales agent in the builder's office represents the builder, not you. This is true regardless of what they say.
-
- One of the first documents that needs to be reviewed are the CC&Rs. The builder may hesitate to provide them at first. CC&Rs may contain restrictions on parking, pets, acceptable colors, use of the property, and more. Don't leave without the CC&Rs if possible.
-
- It is likely that our company knows the reputation of the builder. It may be good or not so good Whether a builder is known for selling defective products or honoring their warranties is important.
-
- The financing offered by the builder may be very good or not so good. We can help you obtain the most competitive loan available.
-
- We can assist you in determining whether to buy upgrades from the builder or from a third party. Upgrades can be very expensive so this becomes an important decision.
-
- While many home builders will not negotiate the price of its homes, other items can often be negotiated by us. These includes closing costs, floor coverings, landscaping, upgrades, finishes, and the length of individual component warranties.
-
- We understand the home buying process when a new home developer is the seller. We can help you save money while protecting your interests.
