"Every Step of the Way"
“From the first time that I met Kate Bransfield I felt her confidence and knowledge in real estate as I own a few houses and apartments I am no stranger to the real estate scene. I listed my house with Kate after visiting her website and meeting her in person. It was very clear to me that Kate knew how to market a property. She advised me on what to do and what not to do on my house to maximize its marketability. Kate's recommendation on a contractor was excellent and I used him on the house that I sold and the one that I purchased. In addition to Kate herself she has a fabulous back-up team who are great at details and follow up and a real pleasure to work with. With a team like this you can't lose. The escrow went smoothly, thanks to Kate. Some brokers list your property and you never see them again. This is not the case with Kate who was there every step of the way to assist and guide me through each step. I would certainly not hesitate to sell, or buy, a house with Kate (and I did both) when the time comes for me to sell or purchase real estate again.”

Accepting An Offer >Purchase Negotiations
If you are selling your home, you should be prepared for the day your first offer comes in. When your real estate agent calls to say there is an offer on your home, you will naturally get excited. When your agent describes the offer, you will probably experience an adrenaline rush. Whether the offer is good or bad, you should just remain calm--and discuss a counter-offer with your agent. The negotiations of a purchase begin with the buyer's ideal terms and a counter offer that communicates the seller's ideal terms.
A good agent will look beyond the price when evaluating an offer. If the buyers' financial qualifications are shaky or the offer includes potentially problematic terms or conditions, your real estate agent should be there to minimize any risk to you and to address these items in your counter-offer. Your agent's job is not to make a decision for you, but to be sure that you understand fully what the offer includes and what is expected.
