THE BASIC STEPS TO SUCCESSFULLY SelL REAL ESTATE

close

talk with a professional

Meet Audrey to discuss pricing strategies and market statistics for your neighborhood.

 Audrey will review any upgrades you can do, along with tips to get the most return on your investment. 

List Property Coming Soon 

List your property as a coming soon helps build hype about your property and gauge the market interest. 

Prepare  to Sell

Getting your property prepared to sell is one of the best things you can do to get the most amount of money for your property. Buyers typically are willing to pay more for a property when it shows well. 

Take Professional Photos

Real estate is much like online dating. Quality photos showcase the property in its best light and attract buyers to want to come to see your property, which ultimately leads to offers.

CONTRACT negotiations

Once an offer is received, Audrey will review the terms and conditions of each offer with you. Always reviewing with you what options you have to accept, reject, or counterterms.  

in escrow

The buyer will open escrow in good faith to execute the contract per the agreed terms. More on Things You Should Know About Escrow 

It’s essential to have your house cleaned up and ready for showings. Check out our Sellers Checklist for a comprehensive list of things to do before showings or open houses. 

Showings / Open Houses

Inspection Period

Typically the buyer will have a 10 day inspection period to perform their due diligence on the property. 

Requested Repairs

At the end of their inspection period, the buyer may ask for repairs. Audrey will review your options and prepare your response accordingly.

Appraisal

Next will be the appraisal. It is crucial to have a list of any upgrades you have done to provide to the appraiser. 

Closing Process

Once the title/escrow company has all signed documents and funds, they will release to record the new deed with the county accessors on the close of escrow day. There is no set time this will happen, so it is best to vacate the property the day before.  

Market competence is not only important in the agent you pick but also for the appraiser. Particularly if the property is in a unique neighborhood, has solar or any other GREEN features.

Zillow Review

Audrey has an easy going approach to a stressful process that I really appreciate. She is there to support you and provide answers to any questions that you may have --expected or unusual. She has a lot of knowledge to help guide you through the process with confidence. It has been a pleasure to work with to find the right fit for me.

AUDREY'S Easy Going Approach

— Bob & Dotty,
GOOGLE Review

Audrey Tolley’s comprehensive knowledge and experience helped us greatly in negotiating the sale of our home. She worked tirelessly, guiding us through the different and sometimes difficult issues that arose. Her attention to the details was impeccable, and we appreciated her honesty and integrity. We look forward to having her help us buy a home in the future!

AUDREY'S MANY QUALITIES

— CHRISTOPHER,
GOOGLE Review

As a first time home buyer, Audrey was patient and helped me navigate the complicated process of finding, choosing, and then finally the purchasing a new home. She was very customer focused and informative on the subject matter, providing insight I had never thought off as we investigated homes. Not only is she knowledgeable, but she is also very personable and a pleasure to work with. Her help with price negotiations nabbed me the best deal I was looking for and it is thanks to her that I am now a very satisfied homeowner. I do recommend!

FIRST-TIME BUYER

— Ashley,

Audrey went above and beyond our expectations. She was very knowledgeable and informative at every step and her guidance was indispensable. She’s not afraid to go to bat for her clients and it shows. She doesn’t sit on the sidelines, she really puts in the work. I would use her as my realtor a thousand times over!

BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS

— Darren,
Yelp Review

Audrey was awesome... she listened to what we were looking for and tried her utmost to find that unicorn... we ended up finding some thing by accident with her that at first seemed could not possibly be work but ended up being exactly what we were looking for! Audrey went above and beyond arranging things with vendors, providing referrals/intros to other who all turned out to be top notch. She really worked to meet our clients needs and we're super happy with our new home and the overall experience from start to finish. 

FIVE STAR

— jennifer & adam,
Yelp Review

We met Audrey at a random open house we went to and connected immediately. She joined our journey and happily went with us along our unknown path. Audrey helped us in so many ways - learning the ropes of home buying and helping us nail down our location. Once our dream home found us, it was smooth sailing really as Audrey continued to keep us informed and things moving along. I would highly recommend working with Audrey and if we ever enter the market again, we'll be calling immediately! Thank you Audrey - I can only hope all your clients have our same experience!!

I've purchased two homes with Audrey, and she has made it a spectacular experience! She is a wealth of knowledge and extremely helpful through each and every step of the process. She's always happy to help answer questions, and always gives sound advice. She was present for every single step of our home buying process, from the initial viewing, through the design of our new home, and has even been present at my signing appointments! You really can't ask for a better realtor. Audrey is amazing, and is a wonderful person to boot!

A LIFETIME AGENT

— BURT,
 realtor.com Review

"Audrey needed a lot of patience to deal with our unclear objectives and pickiness. She showed us at least 50 homes before we could make a decision. She listened to what we wanted and made honest evaluations of the properties we visited - often saying they were not for us. Always respectful, available, and positive. I don't think we could have asked for a better partner finding a house. And then when we had to sell our house she was a wiz. Sold it in just a couple of weeks! Audrey is amazing!”

FINDING THE PERFECT HOME!

— KAVeRI,
facebook review

Audrey made the house buying process very simple and easy. We were new to the area and her expertise came in real handy. She is very knowledgable and approachable at the same time. I will highly recommend her. She does not stop helping out even after you move in to the new house. Hopefully we will get to work with her again.

NEW TO THE AREA

— LALEE,
Google Review

Audrey is so personable and kind—we were first-time home buyers and she was fantastic at walking us patiently through the process. Not only was she super knowledgeable but she’s just fun to be around! She helped us find our dream house—what better endorsement is there? I’ll add too that I’ve recommended her to friends who had a similarly great experience. Love her!

FINDING OUR DREAM HOME

— Annie,
 facebook review

Audrey was referred to us from our friends. From beginning to end, she was absolutely excellent. She made the home buying/selling process so stress-free & easy to understand. She kept us updated with great communication, fought for us on our behalf with the other parties, coordinated/recommended work with other necessary vendors to get our house ready for sale. She also advised us on advantageous timing in the real estate market. She was able to answer all of our questions and never made us feel dumb or burdensome for how little knowledge we had. Because of Audrey, we were able to get an offer on our home for full asking price in less than one weekend- this eventually turned into a completed sale for full asking price in 30 days!! She is the ultimate professional, and it is easy to see why our many friends recommended her. We will continue to do so as well!


TRUSTED REFERRAL

— GORDON,
Google Review

We met Audrey at an open house we toured while out an about. We had an immediate connection. She was very kind and asked some great questions including what we were looking for in a home. We left her open house very impressed and the next step we took was asking Audrey to help us find our new home. She went into immediate action and scheduled us to look at several homes all within our request. Then she suggested we look at a new construction home and it was the home! It checked all the boxes and then some! We made an offer on 12/31/18 and Audrey guided us through the entire process! She even attended every builder walk through with us. After closing on our new home, Audrey then sold our old home and was a true rock star with that process as well. Hands down, if you are buying or selling, Audrey is the realtor you want!

BOUGHT AND SOLD

It's a new year and we are loving our home. Thanks for all your help Audrey! Your great knowledge of the area, professionalism, and super friendly personality, (plus being a tough advocate when needed) really smoothed the process and got us a home we are loving. I highly recommend anyone looking for a new home (not just a house) work with Audrey -- you'll see great places in your price range and get VIP treatment.

TOUGH ADVOCATE

— SFGUY007,
 zillow Review

In short, Audrey is amazing! We were first time home buyers and from out of state. Audrey helped us zero in on what we truly wanted and guided us to exactly the neighborhoods and houses that made sense for us. She has great local knowledge, was patient with us and explained everything each step of the way to a successful purchase of a home we love. After the sale she even helped with great local referrals as we started a remodel. Some of the highest praise came from the sellers agent for our transaction, "she was one of the most professional agents I have worked with, she was a strong advocate for you every step of the way". We could not have had a better experience, and we now consider Audrey a friend.

FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS

— John,
 yelp Review

"We met Audrey at an open house and as we discussed our requirements she was obviously eager to find a property for us which she did -- a fabulous house that we love! Although we lived in Las Vegas she kept us up to date and informed on things needed to complete the transaction on our new home in Phoenix. She went above and beyond our expectations to get everything done as efficiently as possible. Just for the record, the sale of our home in Las Vegas was problematic due to our buyers agent and lender. Audrey met every one of those challenges --- highly recommended."

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

— NADINE,
 yelp Review

This was our 2nd experience working with Audrey & our only regret is that we now live halfway across the country, so we most likely won't be able to work w/Audrey again. We have bought and sold several homes and have worked with several realtors and Audrey's integrity, knowledge, professionalism and personal attention (to say nothing of her great sense of humor), lead us to rate Audrey as the very best realtor we have ever worked with. We wish we could clone her! We highly recommend Audrey for any and all of your real estate needs.

BEST REALTOR®

"I would highly recommend Audrey Tolley as your real estate agent. My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to rent in Scottsdale when we still lived out of the country. We found Audrey online. I thought it was going to be a very stressful experience, but we were able to find a place to rent within the 4 days that we were in town with the amazing help of Audrey. She made it seem so seamless. 7 months later, we were ready to buy our first home. We knew Audrey was our girl to find it! She went above and beyond to find the perfect home for us. Audrey is very knowledgeable, available, and attentive to her clients. We were so thankful to have her as our realtor. She is the best!”

BEST SCOTTSDALE AGENT 

— AlyssoN,
 zillow Review

"We were moving from out of state to the Phoenix area, specifically the 85028 zip code. I chose Audrey based on her reviews and expertise of that zip code, and I wasn't disappointed. She knew the area, and was a great help in seeing the potential of the home we ended up purchasing. I went back and forth on the home choice for quite a while, and never felt pressured by her, she encouraged me to do what was best for me. The whole buying process was super easy because of Audrey and I would definitely work with her again.”

Fantastic experience with Audrey! She was always very responsive and quickly zeroed in on a fantastic house that was perfect for my needs. Audrey was very thorough in explaining every step of the home buying process. I cannot recommend her enough.

VERY THOROUGH

"I couldn't have survived this experience of selling and buying homes without the expertise and knowledge provided by Audrey Tolley. She is very capable and easy to work with. She made me feel comfortable with the entire process.”

— Christine,
 google review

"Buying and selling a house was such a rewarding process working with Audrey. She came over months ahead of us listing and talked over what we can do to make the house more attractive to potential buyers. It made such the difference because we wound up with a full list offer on the first full day of listing! On top of this she was patient and had such real estate acumen when we went to buy. Pointing out things we never would have noticed or thought of with each property. With something as important as buying/selling a home you want Audrey navigating the way!”

PREPARED TO SELL

— KATHRYN AND WES,

We lucked out and met Audrey by chance, after making an inquiry through Zillow. We are so grateful to have had her as our real estate agent representing us to buy our home. She was prompt, helpful with every step, and we closed on our home 2 months after starting the whole process. We highly recommend her!
