SELLING WITH BALSAM
We do your homework before a buyer does.
When you list with us you work with Kate and Jonas Werner from the first conversation to the closing table. Here is what that includes, in the order it happens.
1
Before you list
A written homework report: deed and title summary, tax card, zoning and shoreland status, septic and well records, permits on file and flood zone.
A pricing memo built from closed sales near you.
A room by room preparation plan and the local vendors to carry it out.
2
Marketing
HDR photography, a 3D walkthrough tour, aerial photos and video, an interior highlight video and a floor plan.
Full exposure on the Maine MLS, Realtor.com and Zillow, with an upgraded Zillow listing.
A page for your house on this site and a printed property book for showings.
3
On the market
Every showing attended by one of us. No lockboxes.
Open houses run by the two of us.
A written report every week with showings, buyer feedback, online activity and our recommendation.
4
Offers to closing
We review each offer with you: price, terms, contingencies and deadlines.
Inspection, appraisal, title and lender coordination through closing day.
We have managed sales for clients who never had to return to Maine.
Recent work, staged by Balsam
Kate prepares and stages each house before the photographer arrives.
No dual agency
We represent you alone. We never represent the buyer of a home we list, and we never hold a listing back for our own clients.
Appointed by the Town of Freeport
Balsam Realty is the listing brokerage appointed by the Town of Freeport for the sale of tax acquired properties.
What sellers say
"Kate and Jonas went above and beyond to sell our aging home in Bingham. From comps to cleaning to closing everything went smooth and they explained the steps along the way. No surprises, very professionally handled."
Jason G., seller
"Jonas & Kate made moving from our home of almost 30 years to our new home an amazing adventure. They talked us through every process and never hesitated to explain more than once or help when needed."
Penny N.
"Kate went above and beyond our expectations by conducting additional research on the property for us, providing great benefit in terms of information and time."
Connie O.
