- Slightly cheaper to buy vs. rent
- Interest rates are rising which causes buyers to make decisions faster than usual.
- Although interest rates are on a rise, we are nowhere near the high interest rates we've seen in the past so it's a great time to work towards your homeowner goals.

The Selling Process
Step One: Initial Consultation
At Rally Point Properties, we do not list homes, we sell homes! Our focus is on selling your home for the most amount of money, in the least amount of time, with the smoothest process possible. This starts on day one, which is viewing your property. Prior to meeting with you, we will be working diligently to research your property and preparing the most up to date statistics for your specific area. We make it 100% about you and your needs, so we will also be educating you about the process of selling your home, and answering any questions or concerns you may have.
Step Two: What Is the Market Value?
After walking through your property, we will put together a "CMA", which is a Comparative Market Analysis to advise you on the best price to list your home for. This Market Analysis will give you a very detailed look at similar homes around your property and what they have recently sold for. We have strong techniques and strategies that we will go over with you to ensure your home is priced correctly and in a way that will show significant results with both time on the market as well as net profit at closing.
Step Three: Your Property goes LIVE on the market.
At Rally Point Properties, we roll the red carpet out for your "Live" date! We will be calling you in the morning to remind you of all of the important bullet points of what will happen during this exciting portion of the sale of your home. We market your property to numerous different social media and website channels - to include secret JBLM sites that are shared to thousands of people within the JBLM community. We will have an Open House scheduled that will take place within a few days, in which we will actively spread the word to people within your specific area along with different social media sites. Communication is key during such an important time, in which Rally Point Properties promises to keep you informed on a weekly basis in regards to the activity and feedback we receive as showings are taking place!
Step Four: Receiving Offers
Upon receiving offers, we will continue to have that extra level of communication with you to ensure you are always in the know of what is going on. Depending on your preference of reviewing offers, we will schedule a time and day to review the offer(s) that we have sent over to you in a simple, but detailed fashion. We also go the extra mile to make calls to the buyer's lender(s) to receive as much information as we can about the strength of the buyer, to continue our proactive nature of looking for issues that may arise prior to accepting an offer.
Step Five: Accepting an Offer
At Rally Point Properties, we walk you through each step of the transaction process from day 1 all the way to the big exciting close date! During this time you will go through an inspection period, an appraisal (if it is not a cash offer) and packing! We will be giving you weekly updates, while we check in with the buyer's lender and escrow to ensure we are being proactive to help for a smooth process. You not only get 100% hands on help from your Agent but also the entire team to ensure you always have someone to answer any questions or concerns that may arise along the way. We pride ourselves at Rally Point Properties in ensuring you have the best communication, direction and support throughout your entire transaction to not only meet your expectations but to exceed them.
Step Six: Closing Day
Bring on the champagne! - The best day! You will sign your escrow documents prior to closing day, in which we will make sure escrow schedules your signing at a good time for you. If you are out of the area during this time, do not worry, just let us know and we will coordinate signing in a smooth way that works for your specific situation. These last few days prior to closing can be a little hectic on the buyers side if they have a lender to finalize final details, so we at Rally Point Properties make sure you have the expectation of the moving parts well in advance.
Step Seven: Follow-Ups & Check-Ins
You will hear from our team to ensure you understand that we want to be a resource for you for life. Whether you need a trusted recommendation of a Tax specialist, loan officer for your next purchase, moving company recommendation, etc. We have built lasting relationships with vendors around the area and would love to help you get connected with the right people (we do not receive any compensation for our recommendation...we simply want to make sure you are in good hands in the future).
