Services that I will provide for Sellers:

Choosing the right Agent to sell your property is the first step. I believe you should feel comfortable with your agent. Listening is the key. Getting to know what my clients want in terms of their goals and timeline and price is essential. I answer all client requests and questions immediately, and if I have to research an item, I'll get back within 24 hours. I can be reached by cell phone, and email 24/7 at: Jeani@YourKauaiRealty.com, or, send me your "Wish List" by filling out the Seller's Questionnaire.

Staging or Preparing your property for sale

Staging your property to sell before you put it on the market can increase your chances of getting full asking price in the timeframe that is convenient for you. Simple "fix it" things, like repairing a leaky facet, or a squeaky door can make or break a sale. A clean and uncluttered house will always be more appealing to the buyer than one that is messy. See the "To Do List for Preparing Your Property for Sale." Expert advise as to how to stage your property without spending too much time or money, is part of the service I offer to my listing clients.

Setting the Selling Price -Evaluation of Your Property

Having a realistic evaluation of what your property is worth is essential to establishing the right "Selling Price" for your property. The "Selling Price" is not an imaginary number. It is a price based on calculated indicators:

First is knowing the price of recent sales and listings in your area. For this a CMA, or Comparative Market Analysis is your best tool. Once I have seen your property, I will have a CMA for your property within 24 hours. You can request an appointment for a CMA by filling out the Seller's Questionnaire.

Second, the best "Selling Price" is also based on the current condition of the market. In a "hot" market for sellers the selling price should be on the high side, where in a "cool" market, the price should be well within the recent sales price.

Other issues that determine the right "Selling Price" are personal in nature, like, for instance, you may need to sell within a specific timeframe. The sale of your property should be tailored to your personal situation. The more information I have regarding your expectations, the more I will be able serve you. In the notes field of the Buyer's Questionnaire you can explain any special circumstances that apply to the sale of your property.

Marketing Your Property to Sell

These days it is not enough to list a property and put it on the local MLS board, hoping some other agent has a client who will buy. Today it is essential to reach out beyond the local area to find the right buyer for your home. This is especially important for properties on Kauai where most of the buyers are from the mainland and other countries. That is why in addition to advertising in the Hawaii MLS, I showcase my listings on five web sites and three publications.

The web site of REALTOR.com has National esteem and exposure, because it is the official site of the National Association of Realtors.

Kauai Real Estate Weekly, is a bimonthly paper that is distributed all around the islands. It also can be accessed on the Web at:

The Kauai Real Estate Book is another publication where my listings can be seen, and it too has a web presence.

The Kauai Real Estate Magazine is another publication in which Winters Realty advertises on a regular basis.

My own web site is also a source for my listings as is Winters Realty web site.
