How I Sell Your Home

It’s more than the FOR SALE sign

Did you know….For recently sold homes, the final sales price was a median of 100 percent of the final listing price, the highest recorded since 2002 according to NAR’s 2021 Profile of Home Buyers & Sellers Report

MY MARKETING STRATEGY

Beautiful professional photos, a compelling storybook description, plenty of online visibility; these are only a few of the important things your real estate agent should be doing for you when you decide to list your home with them.

Selling your Home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make in a lifetime. Making sure your home is priced correctly, presented beautifully & exposed to the highest number of potential buyers right from the start can mean the difference between a slow and painful waiting game to a quick and profitable sale!

That’s where I can help. My marketing plan is designed to get your home sold quickly and for the best price. I don’t just stick a sign in your yard and let others do the work. My marketing plan is tailored to fit YOUR needs and to sell your home as quickly as possible with the least hassle.

    Set an appointment with me and I will come to your home and do a walk-through which will allow me to give you an even more accurate market value.

LISTING QUALITY

I make sure your listing is ready before we enter it into the MLS. From the listing remarks to the contract, I sit down with you and tailor each contract to your needs. This is about YOU, not ME!

SELLER SERVICES

Need some renovations? A Handyman? Movers? I have a whole list of vendors that I know & trust that can help you get your house in showing condition, fast!


PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

95% of buyers start their search on the internet. I want your home to look it’s best so I hire a professional photographer to showcase your home in the most attractive way.

AERIAL DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY*

My professional drone photographers will get the best aerial shots of your home so buyers get a birds eye view of the entire property including the outside attributes, neighborhood and views!


VIRTUAL TOURS*

My professional virtual tours allow agents & prospective buyers to “walk-through’ your home before they even see it in person which helps weed out the ‘looky loo’s’ and and encourage serious buyers thus saving you time and energy on fruitless showings!

ACCURATE PRICING

Accurate pricing sells homes! Price your home to high and your home won’t sell. Drop your price & people wonder why your home isn’t selling and you look desperate. I am committed to making sure your home enters the market with the right price so you get interest in your home from the start.


SOCIAL MEDIA

Did you know that networking is the fastest way to get your home in front of thousands of potential buyers? Social media is important to getting your home maximum exposure. I actively network on all of the major social media sites including Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Instagram, Google, Youtube & more. Once your property goes on the market, I announce it via these online venues and then keep marketing it to update the status & keep it fresh in the public eye.

SETTING THE STAGE

Did you know that it’s a proven fact that staged homes often sell faster & for more money? Staging your home right is essential to getting the price you want! I offer staging advice to all of my clients. I will go through your home with you, room by room, and give you suggestions to help you prepare your home for sale and make adjustments inside & out that will create a buzz of interest around your home making it irresistible to potential buyers. I also work with professional staging experts that you can hire to stage your home to perfection.

MOBILE

Last year mobile searchers exceeded desktop users. In today’s market, more than 70% of home buyers will view your home from their mobile phones. I am committed to keeping up with today’s changing technology. When listing with me, your property will be available in a mobile-friendly format so that no matter whether a buyer is looking at it on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone, they will be viewing it in a friendly responsive format that will be pleasing to the eye and easy to use.

TEXT MESSAGE TECHNOLOGY

Text Technology is fast becoming the best way to sell homes faster! Many agents are stuck in the old days of CRM’s and Email marketing, but I know better! Only 20% of emails get opened but 99% of text messages are opened and read! Your home should be easily accessible from a mobile phone for potential buyers driving by your home. I employ a text technology by adding a Sign Rider on your for sale sign offering more information by texting a phrase to a certain number. I then receive data on the inquiry including the phone number of the potential buyer so I can follow up with them and set up a showing.

*Disclaimer: Some services are only offered to properties above a certain value. Please inquire with me directly for more details.

Ed Silva is a tough act to follow in the real estate profession

My wife and I entered a rough market to sell and had met with several realtors before we signed with Ed. Our meeting only solidified that Ed Silva was a true professional in his field, “The Real Deal.” He is an excellent realtor who adheres to the principles located on his website including superior service, excellent time management and an understanding, local expert with unmatched commitment to the profession who provides support and has the inside knowledge of real time market conditions. Our experience taught us that Ed goes above and beyond. Ed Silva is a tough act to follow in the real estate profession. Thank You Again, Ed for being a true professional.

We could not have asked for a better realtor

We just wanted to take a moment thank you for everything you did for us. From the very first day we met, you were upfront and honest. Through both of our transactions you always went above and beyond, and at one time did more than our lawyer. We could not have asked for a better realtor. At times it was difficult to tell whether you were a friend or an agent. We will never forget you and would gladly refer any of our remaining friends and family back in Ct to you. Thanks again for your help.

Wael & Linda

It’s thanks to your deep experience and profound knowledge that we were able to clean the mess that we were in

Here we come to the end of the process that was at some points a complicated one. It’s thanks to your deep experience and profound knowledge that we were able to clean the mess that we were in. It would have been impossible to face the challenges or overcome the obstacles had we listed the house with any other agent. Our experience with you is the proof that it requires a lot more than a state license to be a successful real estate agent or broker. It’s your honesty, dedication and attention to details that makes you a very distinguished and successful person. Therefore, we are so lucky that we have met you. As you know we still have family and friends in Connecticut and we are going to make sure they know whom to trust when it comes to any real estate transaction. Even though the house is sold, this is not the end. We consider this a beginning of a long-term relationship with you where we are going to need your advice in a future house purchase. It was an honor to meet you and we wish you and your family the best.

Ed went above and beyond the call of duty

I have worked with Ed Silva twice – once in 2009 when my wife and I sold our home in West Hartford, CT to purchase a home in Cheshire, CT. The second time was in 2014 when we had to move out of state and needed to sell our home in Cheshire. Ed was our realtor for all 3 transactions and we couldn’t be happier. In all transactions Ed was organized, thorough, and personable. He offered us an objective viewpoint on each house we toured, thereby helping us with our decisions. We found him to be knowledgeable about aspects of realty that surpassed just the legalities of buying and selling properties, and furthermore we were consistently impressed by his willingness to research questions he couldn’t answer right away. He was always expedient in returning our calls, searching for properties, and setting up tours. When we were living out of state and had to sell our home in Cheshire, Ed went above and beyond the call of duty making sure that our home and property were well maintained for showings. Ed was instrumental at helping us navigate through a long distance sale and we couldn’t have done it without his help and knowledge of navigating through some issues we encountered with the inspection. I absolutely recommend Ed Silva to anybody looking to buy or sell a home.
