Andrea Osmond
The Equestrian Realtor
Listing A Home
Thinking about selling your home for your next adventure is a significant step and one that can feel overwhelming. Having the right Realtor as your guide can make all of the difference in the seamlessness of the home sale. The wrong Realtor can make it a nightmare. Homes are typically people's most significant investment or asset, so only natural emotions can run high through a sales transaction.
As a National Associate of Realtors member, Andrea is held to a higher standard of service than Real Estate Agents. She understands communication is a fundamental piece to proving a seamless transaction. Her calm demeanor and methodical processes of educating her clients on the sale process, market statistics, offer trends, and negotiation tactics give her clients the tools and support they need to make logical decisions through their transactions.
Andrea takes great pride in the marketing of her listings. She understands that 94% of people begin their home search online, which leaves 15 seconds of an impression on the potential buyer if they are interested in seeing the house in person. Therefore, premium marketing is one of the fundamentals of getting top value for a home.
​
Last but certainly not least is pricing a home. Pricing a home is more than just pulling the current actives and pending, as well as the most recent sales of the area. Andrea will explain strategies depending on what is happening in the market and the estimated price range. In addition, she will take into account the home's condition and break down what listing "As-Is," fixing it up, and remodeling could generate and potentially net at the closing table.
​
Andrea was attracted to working with Compass because of their Concierge program. She knows and understands homes that are renovated, well-maintained, clean, and staged sell for more and faster than those that are not. However, it can be stressful financially to remodel a home or bring its maintenance to the buyer's expectations. With Compass Concierge, Compass will front the funds needed with no interest or fees, allowing every Seller to get top dollar for their home!
