Jeanne displayed good professional and friendly attitude all the time. She was very keen to help us meet our requirements. She was very proactive during the closing process and negotiated a huge reduction during closing with the seller which we thought was not possible.

Jeanne was absolutely wonderful to work with when we sold our home. We were moving to a new state and needed to sell our home quickly. As we prepared our home to be put on the market, Jeanne knew exactly what we should and shouldn't do in regards to staging, painting, etc. The photos Jeanne took for the listing of our home were amazing and would catch anyone's eye if they came across our house's listing. Within two days of being on the market, we had received multiple offers on our home significantly ABOVE the asking price. Jeanne understood the importance and need for us to sell our home quickly and not only went above and beyond to make sure we accomplished that, but did everything in her power to create more of a profit for us to be able to purchase our dream home in our new state. There is nobody else I would recommend or trust to sell my home other than Jeanne!

I've worked with Jeanne twice now. Amazing results both times. She has great insight into the market, prices houses competitively, and is a strong negotiator. She's quick to respond, always has a plan and options to present and keeps her clients at the forefront. I can strongly and without hesitation recommend Jeanne.

Jeanne was fantastic from start to finish. She not only listened to our wants and needs, she went the extra mile to find our dream home. Jeanne contacted the agent of a property that was a bit out of our reach, she expertly negotiated it right into our price range. While seeing our new house, before we wrote an offer, Jeanne noticed the owners photo with a dog. She had us write a letter to the owner, while negotiating, to connect on the level of us both being dog owners. We love our new home and Jeanne. Highly recommend Jeanne because of her knowledge, experience and caring attitude.
Answered Questions
The best first steps you can take are: Clean your home, remove clutter, I tell clients it is a good time to start packing up extras and put away valuables. Choose an agent to come over, go through your home and form a relationship. The agent will need a list of upgrades, anything new and also an idea of what attracted you to the property. What things do you love about your home? Listen to your agent about pricing and items that need to be done. Most sellers have a good idea of what your value might be but you are probably off a bit, it is the agent that will give you the numbers you will need to work with. The market is shifting, what sold in hours a year ago may take a month, listening to your agent is the best education you can get on the market. If you have pets, start thinking about what arrangements you can make for them during showings. Start getting your home in picture perfect condition for professional photographs while working with your agent on next steps to get your property on the open market.
That is a tough situation to be in for a seller. As a seasoned agent, I share all feedback with my clients, the good, the bad and the ugly. While I may be sharing things a seller does not want to hear, open, straightforward and honest communication with clients is key to a great sale. I would ask you agent why things are falling through? I am a Chicago Burbs agent, what we have seen in our market is a flurry of activity, homes selling in hours or days and unbelievable bidding wars. Statistics are showing that buyers have remorse at offering so much over listing prices, esp in a shifting market, home inspection issues came up, buyers could not qualify with rising interest rates, or homes are not appraising. I know it can be very frustrating for you and most likely your agent. Did you have your home staged, did you have professional photos taken? It does not sound like the marketing is an issue, just getting a buyer to stick. There are a few ways you can go about this, first, I would have a discussion with your agent, do it in writing and be kind but firm with your questions. I would directly ask what are the reasons given for each contract falling apart. The attorney will likely not know the details, as your agent should. If it is inspection issues, you can ask you agent to get the details from each buyers agent, fix the issues. Best of luck, communication is key.
YES! Stage your home, it can be a minimal amount like clearing clutter, moving items, removing items, a different furniture configuration. I am a certified home stager and agent, it always pays to stage.
