Selling Process
Our selling process simplifies the seller experience.
Lake Sara properties and homeowners make up a niche marketplace. Our seller-focused pre-listing checklist streamlines bringing your property to market with all the data savvy buyers expect. Our entire process is centered around increasing marketing exposure for your property with buyers that expect more. This process can also greatly increase buyer confidence, save time on market, and reduce additional negotiations. Your time is important and your property is unique, that's how we treat it.
Before your property sale is made public we coordinate several activites that set your home apart including:
Professional Photos
We are proud to partner excluively with local expert photographer Ed Baumgarten. See Ed's extensive portfolio here: Ed Baumgarten Photography on facebook Lakeside photos and areial drone photography is frequently used as well.
2D Floorplan
We use ANSI Z765-2021 compliant LIDAR technology to capture precise measurements of interior spaces. The sketch shows walls, windows, doors, room labels and measurements, fixtures, appliacnes, and freestanding elements to help buyers fully visualize spaces.
3D Tour
Lake life doesn't stop at the door, our 360 3D tours capture indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the property. The result is a customized immersive display which allows buyers to experience the property remotely form anywhere with an internet connection. 3D tours are mobile and tablet friendly, VR compatible, and offer viewers a floor level vantage point as well as a dollhouse view. The 3D tour will walk potential buyers through your home and around the property as if they were taking an in-person guided tour. Custom tags can be added intoto the 3D tour to draw attention to specific features or elements of your property. 3D tours can also be synced to google street view. See a 3D Tour example here
