SELLING

Few investments can match the value of a New York City home. When it is time to sell, you need an experienced expert who will work tirelessly to strategically market and effectively sell your home at the highest price in the shortest time, allowing you to maximize the return on your investment.

Jed Lewin has helped many New York City homeowners sell their homes in record time and for more than the asking price. If maximizing profits when it’s time to sell is your priority, Jed Lewin is the Associate Broker to work with.

THE SELLER'S PROCESS

1. Define Your Timeline

Jed will start your sales journey by determining the best time to sell based on the market and your needs.

2. Research, Research, Research

Jed will conduct a comparative market analysis, studying similar properties and their price points to determine the right price for your home.

The Agency Tip: Don’t make the costly mistake of over or under pricing your property!

3. Prepare Your Property

You want your property to sell quickly and at top dollar, which is why it is essential to show it in its best light. Jed will advise you on and manage any professional staging, photography, and more.

The Agency Tip: Remember to declutter, clean, and remove personal items. Potential buyers need to imagine your property as their new home!

4. Start Marketing!

Your property marketing plan is determined by analyzing the profile of your prospective buyers. All materials are personalized, including print materials, email blasts, social media posts, and broad reach print and digital advertising.

The Agency Tip: The right photographer or virtual stager can make the difference between active showings and no interest.

5. Showings

Let the showings begin! Brokers and potential buyers will come to view your property so Jed will work with you and your schedule to maximize buyer exposure.

The Agency Tip: Make sure your home is “show ready” at all times.

6. Offers

Offers are submitted by the buyer’s agent, attorney, or the buyer. Jed will review all offers with you and then negotiate on your behalf. Jed will also vet offers to maximize the probability it will be approved by the building’s board.

The Agency Tip: A financial statement, prequalification letter, and buyer’s attorney information should be included in the offer.

7. Accepted Offer

Now that you’ve agreed on an offer, Jed will submit a deal form with all of the details of the transaction to your attorney and the buyer’s attorney, who will then negotiate the contract.

The Agency Tip: Make sure you list any light fixtures or appliances that you want to take with you in the contract.

8. In-Contract

After the buyer’s attorney has completed due diligence and the contract has been negotiated, the buyers sign the contract and put down a deposit. Once the contract is signed, you’re legally obligated to complete the transaction.

The Agency Tip: Review the contract carefully.
