LISTING AGENT.
Caliber Listing Agents expose your home to a vast network of qualified buyers.
A Caliber Listing Agent is first and foremost a marketing person: we use various types of advertising channels - from digital, to social and print - and through holding regular open houses.
Selling a home can be stressful, but when you have an expert agent on your team taking care of the important details, your mind is put at ease.
The most important job of a Caliber Listing Agent is to properly price your home. To do this, we analyze the sales prices of comparable homes to see where yours should fit in, and advise you accordingly.
How much is your home worth? You can get an estimated value by entering your address on StreetEasy or Zillow, but from there you'll want to do some fine-tuning, and that's where a Caliber Agent can help.
BUYER AGENT.
Caliber's Buyer Agents act as a trusted advisor and advocate throughout the buying process.
The process begins with taking the time to discuss buyer priorities, understanding what is motivating their purchase, and providing insight and education on the current state of the market.
The buyer agent will work relentlessly to meet as many of the buyer's requests within the constraints of the market conditions and budget. This includes a comprehensive search for properties in desired areas, sorting through active listings, and providing trusted insights to help narrow down the search to a few top choices.
The buyer agent will handle all aspects of the intricate negotiation process including completing the necessary paperwork when making offers and counter-offers.
And finally, the buyer agent will be present at closing to ensure the buyer's interests are protected.
Price your home too law, and you could lose money. Price it too high and your home languishes on the market, making buyers wonder if something's wrong with your home.
A Caliber Listing Agent is first and foremost a marketing person: we use various types of advertising channels - from digital, to social and print - and through holding regular open houses.
Eventually, you will be forced to drop the price to stay competitive in the marketplace, but by that point, the bad reputation will have stuck.
Even with a comparative price, buyers are still likely to make offer below asking price. Ultimately, you may sell the property for less than what you would have if you had priced it correctly, to begin with. The seller loses out.
There are two types of apartments in New York City: Co-op (cooperative) and condominium.
The first step in the NYC buying process is to decide which type of property suits you the best. Older buildings (built pre-1980's) tend to be co-ops, while essential everything built after the 1980's is a condo. Beyond that important distinction, your personal and financial circumstances, and lifestyle preferences, the decision is yours to make.

After we determine an asking price, we will provide you with a comprehensive marketing plan detailing how we will get your property sold. This plan includes the following:
We Communicate Properly.
We Make Sure that the Buyer is Qualified.
Anybody can say they are interested in buying a property. Not everyone can get pre-approval though. We will make sure that buyers are pre-approved - not just pre-qualified.
There is a big difference between mortgage pre-qualification and pre-approval. Pre-qualification does not include an analysis of the buyer's credit report, verify income, or employment, which will be key factors in whether they can get a mortgage.
A pre-qualification in most instances is not worth the paper it is written on. We want buyers who have already submitted all information, including a credit report, and been given the go-ahead for a loan.
We Will Negotiate the Best Terms..
Attend the Appraisal.
You may not be aware of all the services that we provide to sellers during the course of the transaction, probably because most of the important services are performed behind the scenes.
