SELLING SARASOTA PROPERTY
I don't think of your Sarasota house as just a piece of property. I see it as your home, the center of your family's life, the very special place where your children grow up, where you welcome your neighbors and friends, where your dreams come to life.
I understand what a sensitive, emotionally charged process the buying or selling of a home can be. I know that it involves one of the biggest commitments a family can make. That is why ERA® professionals are totally committed to providing whatever it takes to help you through the process, to keep you well informed, and to make sure you have the right answers to the many questions that inevitably arise during any real estate transaction.
What Others are Saying
"Jan came out in advance of our selling our home and gave us numerous suggestions to get our home ready for the marketplace. She explained in great detail the mechanics involved in a sale and was there with us every step of the way. We have referred many of our friends to her."
Joan Lanberg
Jan offered our home For Sale and predicted that she would have it sold within the month. We still can't believe her tenaciousness: our home was sold in 1 week and we were moving by the month's end!

What makes a sales professional effective?
We believe good training and experience make the best sales professionals . But the truth is, not every sales professional is right for every seller. That's why we suggest that you follow this simple formula to help you decide whether a particular sales professional will work well for you
COMPETENCE + COMFORT = CONFIDENCE
Competence: When you first meet with a real estate professional, they'll do their best to show you that they have what it takes to sell your house. You can expect to see a portfolio of credentials, past achievements, sales volume and letters of recommendation. Look for evidence that their background is relevant to your needs. The sales professional you choose should also be up-to-date on the current pool of potential buyers for houses like yours; professionals can stay informed of this through real estate company Web sites, such as ERA.com, and industry networking.
Comfort: The importance of being comfortable with your sales professional as a person cannot be overstated. You're going to be dealing with this individual on a regular basis, maybe for months, during a time that can be emotionally trying for you and your family.
It takes a unique combination of these two characteristics — competence and comfort — to inspire the confidence a homeowner needs to maintain peace of mind through the process of selling a house. It's something for which every ERA® sales professional strives. Always There For You® is more than a tagline. It's our way of doing business.
- How do I find the sales professional who's right for me?
A good place to start is by talking to friends, neighbors, and relatives — anyone whose recommendation you trust. You can also try responding to sales professionals' local advertising, direct mail, or Web site profiles. If they have the resources and initiative to maintain such a presence in your marketplace, it's a good sign that they may have the sales skill you're looking for.
