Why Use a Realtor to Sell Your Home?
A home is one of life’s biggest investments, both personally and financially. Real estate transactions can be complex and involve a lot of specific negotiations — not only for prices, but also inspections, appraisals, and other time-restricted items. That’s why it’s vital to simplify the home buying process as much as possible.
Erin Yabroudy & Associates understands the market, client’s needs, and the buying process inside out. With over $60 million in sales during 2016 across 100+ transactions ranging from 1 bedroom rentals to multimillion-dollar properties, we believe in bringing expert guidance to each client based on their individual needs.
From preparing your property for sale, analyzing market data with you, negotiating on your behalf, and coordinating all aspects of the closing process, Erin Yabroudy & Associates is here for you.

Get Ready to List
Getting ready to list your home for sale? This handy infographic touches on just a few items that a homeowner should address prior to photographing, listing, and showing their house.
What can you do to make your home appeal to more buyers? The goal is to ensure that the home appeals to as many potential buyers as possible. This means stashing those personal items such as school trophies, family photos and that coffee mug your child painted for you.
This is a great time to declutter — put away knick-knacks and toys, collections of trinkets and excessive kitchen tools. Try to neutralize color palates throughout.It’s also very important to be sure that everything is in working order, tighten the stair railings, replace burnt out bulbs, be sure your toilets and faucets don’t run and that doors and windows open and close properly.

On the Market
Once you and your agent have prepared your home to be listed, it is now time for potential buyers and their agents to visit your house for showings.
During this time, it is important to keep your house “showing ready.” This means keeping the house clean and clutter-free so potential buyers can see all of its best features.
Your agent at Erin Yabroudy & Associates will list your house with the multiple listing services, where it will appear on all major real estate websites, including Realtor.com, Zillow, and Trulia. We also initiate various other marketing efforts, including social media posts, email blasts to hundreds of agents, targeted contact for relevant agents, postcard mailings, neighborhood newsletters, and advertisements in relevant print marketing such as Atlanta InTown Magazine, Northside Neighbor, and Ansleyphile.
Your agent will then work closely with you to schedule showings, discuss feedback from potential buyers, and continually observe the market to best guide the sale of your house.
Under Contract
Being under contract means you have received and accepted an offer of purchase on the property you’re selling.
The first step in the contract process is the due diligence period. This usually occurs 7-14 days after you are under contract. During this time, the buyer inspects the property and a list of any needed repairs is negotiated. Just as in contract negotiations, your Erin Yabroudy & Associates Agent will work on your behalf and advise you based on their extensive experience.
At the conclusion of due diligence, your agent will help you complete any negotiated items in the contract, get ready for closing, and prepare you for your own move!
The timeline for accepting a contract and closing is typically 30 days. We are experts in this process — from negotiation, setting up contractors, and completing contract stipulations, to keeping you and your “deal” on schedule for a smooth and easy road to the closing table!
