Sell With Us (Duplicate)
As one of the top-rated real estate teams in Silver Spring and the Greater Montgomery County area, the Savercool Team @ Long & Foster brings local expertise, data-driven strategy, and proven marketing systems to every listing we represent. Our approach combines the personalized service of a boutique team with the resources and reach of one of the nation’s leading brokerages.
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or relocating, our goal is to help you sell your home quickly, profitably, and with confidence — while minimizing stress along the way.
1. Initial Consultation & Home Evaluation
Deciding whether to replace flooring, update a kitchen, or paint before listing can feel overwhelming. During our complimentary consultation, we’ll walk through your home together, identify cost-effective improvements, and recommend trusted local contractors if needed. You’ll receive clear guidance on both “as-is” and “improved” price ranges so you can make smart, data-driven decisions about your prep budget.
2. Pricing Strategy
Accurate pricing is key to attracting buyers and maximizing your return. We’ll prepare a comprehensive Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that compares your home to recent sales, active listings, and neighborhood trends. Our insight into local market dynamics and buyer behavior allows us to recommend a competitive pricing range that positions your home for success. The final decision, of course, is always yours.
3. Home Staging & Virtual Staging
A beautifully presented home creates a powerful first impression and helps buyers form an emotional connection the moment they walk through the door — or even before they do. We provide professional home staging consultations to help you highlight your home’s best features, improve flow, and create inviting spaces that photograph beautifully.
For vacant or partially furnished homes, we also offer virtual staging — a cost-effective way to digitally furnish and decorate rooms with realistic visuals. Virtual staging helps buyers envision the full potential of your property and ensures your listing stands out online.
Whether it’s hands-on staging or virtual enhancements, our goal is the same: to make your home look its absolute best before it hits the market.
4. Professional Marketing, Photography & Virtual Tours
First impressions happen online — and today’s buyers expect an immersive experience before they ever step through the front door. That’s why we invest in professional real estate photography, detailed floor plans, and interactive 3D virtual walkthroughs that showcase your home from every angle. These assets help buyers visualize the layout and flow, creating stronger engagement and more qualified showings.
To complement your online presence, we also produce high-quality, full-color brochures and custom QR codes that link directly to your home’s digital tour and listing — making it easy for buyers and agents to access property details instantly. All of this marketing is handled at our expense, ensuring your home stands out across every platform and device.
5. Coordinating Showings
We know keeping your home show-ready can be challenging. To make things easier, we’ll provide a simple “showing prep checklist” with quick reminders to help you prepare on short notice. All showings are scheduled through a professional service that provides advance notice and collects feedback from buyers’ agents. We use that feedback to make informed decisions about marketing adjustments, pricing strategy, and presentation to ensure your listing continues to perform at its best.
6. Reviewing & Negotiating Offers
When offers come in, our job is to simplify the details so you can make confident decisions. We’ll prepare an estimated Seller Net Sheet showing your potential proceeds after all costs, and if multiple offers are received, we’ll provide a side-by-side comparison highlighting key differences such as contingencies, financing, and closing terms. Our goal is to help you choose the offer that best aligns with your priorities.
7. Navigating Contingencies
From inspections to appraisals and financing approvals, every contract has moving parts. We manage each step to keep your transaction on track. We’ll meet the appraiser in person, provide supporting data to defend your price, and ensure all contingencies are satisfied on time — minimizing surprises and keeping you informed throughout.
8. Settlement & Closing
Closing marks the successful conclusion of your sale. We coordinate closely with the title company to make sure your final settlement statement is reviewed and accurate before your signing appointment. On settlement day, you’ll hand over the keys and receive your proceeds via check or wire — a smooth finish to a well-managed sale.
9. Clients for Life
Our relationship doesn’t end at the closing table. We take pride in being a long-term resource for our clients — whether you need real estate advice, contractor recommendations, or help finding your next home. Most of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals, a reflection of the trust we work hard to earn and keep.
