2. When you make the decision
to sell your home, what are
your goals? We have found
Eric DeYoung
most sellers desire to sell their
home as soon as possible, for
the most money net to them,
and with the fewest hassles.
We share your goals and are
committed to a successful sale
and an outstanding transaction.
There are only four but important
factors that contribute to our
success:
1. The location of your property
2. The agent and therefore the marketing you
select
3. The condition of your property
4. The price

3. Since location is difficult to change,
it is important to focus on the final
three factors. As you will see,
Eric DeYoung is committed to
providing a premier marketing
service and valuable education
and advice to obtain the
optimum condition
and price for
your property.

14. Transaction Management
In each real estate
transaction there are a host
of potential detriments to its
consummation. Perhaps
the inspection turns up
major defects, perhaps a
title search finds a cloud on
title, or the buyers needs
to change their financing
arrangements. What
happens if a buyer wants
to back out? It is idealistic
to think all transactions
come together simply and
naturally, in actuality each
one requires attention and
action.
Eric DeYoung works with
you and other professionals
to help ensure your
transaction flows smoothly
and closes to your
satisfaction.
