Selling Your Home?

      The first decision you make in selling your home is perhaps the most important: listing your home with the right Realtor. That would be me. Here's why:

     At Irongate, our 375+ full-time associates combine knowledge, enthusiasm and a strong work ethic to serve their buyers in a professional manner. Our motto is “Real People for Real Results”. For us, this is more than a slogan. Our Realtors live in the areas they serve, and serve in the areas they live. In service clubs and organizations; churches, synagogues and temples; cultural, theater, visual and performing arts groups; youth work and athletic teams, our associates contribute their talents to community, service, religious and professional organizations throughout the Miami Valley. Our associates are the reason why Irongate has grown in the past thirty years to become the largest independent real estate brokerage in the Miami Valley - and the most respected. You and your home are important to us, not only professionally, but as friends, colleagues and neighbors.

And of all these Irongate Realtors, I bring a unique mix of industry experience, marketing skills, local knowledge, the ability to negotiate and more importantly, the ability to close a deal, to the table. Year in and year out, I have been honored with the highest sales awards offered by the Dayton Area Board, as well as the Ohio Association of Realtors. Let me put that 30+ years of experience, listing and selling thousands of homes in the Miami Valley, to work for you. Not to mention my two outstanding Realtor assistants - Maxine Halasz and Lisa Corral.

Here's how the Brown team would begin:

     A realistic market evaluation is the next step toward the prompt sale of your property at a price acceptable to you. I have access to current tax assessments, tax appraisal values, maps and records for all counties within the Miami Valley, computer listings of all sales in your area for the past week, month and year, as well as our own historical file of listings sold for the past 30 years. I am committed to the maximum exposure of your property using proven sales methods, as well as the latest marketing techniquest. Within the first few days of listing I will:

•       • Place our award-winning “For Sale” sign on your property. Numerous homes sell each year through this simple and effective form of advertising.
• Enter all the information concerning your house into the Multiple Listing Service, a computer based system that can provide complete information (including a color photo) to all 2800 members of the Dayton Area Board of Realtors.
• Discuss your property with our full time Irongate Realtors. I want all of our agents to be able to speak intelligently about your property to their clients, as well as to others, when calls come into our offices. Irongate agents sell 40% of Irongate's listings. The national average is 2%.
• Guarantee company-paid Dayton Daily News newspaper advertising until your property is sold. I will be able to show you the size, location and frequency of all our ads for your home.
• Utilize additional publications (such as the Times Community Newspapers) our award-winning website at www.IrongateRealtors.com, scores of other internet venues (such as LuxuryHomes.com), our unique Homes for Sale Magazine as well as Irongate’s extensive network of professional and business memberships to increase exposure for your home.
• Schedule regular Open Houses for your home, with your approval, making it convenient for prospective buyers to inspect your property. These are usually held on Sunday afternoons. It is not necessary for you to be present. In fact, many buyers and sellers alike feel more comfortable and relaxed if the seller is not present during open houses or showings!
• Finally, Ohio State law requires all sellers to complete Residential Property Disclosure Forms. I will provide you with these and all the other forms you must complete before and during the sale of your home.

And that is just the beginning of my marketing services. Equally important is my pledge to keep in constant communication with you, by text, email, phone or fax, to keep you constantly appraised and up to date about where we are in the selling process.
