Selling a House in Austin
Selling a home is a highly involved process. Marketing, showings, negotiating, research, pricing effectively, staging, and much, much more. There are over 150 steps we take to get our client’s homes sold as quickly as possible for top dollar.
Five important factors that affect the sale of your property:
1. Location
2. Price
3. Condition
4. Market Conditions
5. Exposure and the Agent You Choose
You can’t change the location of your property, however, you can improve the condition and you absolutely must price the home effectively, especially in today’s market. When it’s time to sell your house, you need the best representation to make sure you get the most out of your investment.
Angela Sparks provides solutions and results for sellers through market knowledge, effective pricing, home staging, negotiation skills, and extensive marketing.

Why do you need professional representation? Excellent question! Other than showing houses, negotiating is a key factor in any real estate transaction. It is not always a fun process to negotiate contracts, and if you are not experienced with the contracts or Realtor standards and practices, it could be very confusing, not to mention legal concerns that could come up. With our experience, we strive to make it as stress-free and pleasant as possible. In addition to the complimentary reports on our site, we have a list of trustworthy mortgage brokers and inspectors, and other service providers.
How do we get paid? Another great question. A common misconception is that you have to pay for Realtor services if you are buying a home. While it varies, traditionally the buyer’s agent is paid by the seller through the listing agent. Let’s say the listing agent is getting paid 6% of the sales price; that listing agent will typically commit to paying the buyer’s agent a percentage of that 6%. Some people think that they are saving money by not having an buyers agent, but this is rarely the case. In that situation, the 6% is just entirely paid to the listing agent. You save nothing and loose out on having a professional represent you to get you the best terms possible in the transaction.
