Sales Process
We understand that part of your strategy may be to sell your rental property – in
fact, it may be your number one goal and we’re happy to be a part of that process.
Obviously – our sister company, Nest Realty, has a bevy of Realtors ® who can help
you and assist with this process. There are some things you need to know prior to
engaging a Realtor ® if we are managing your property.
Your tenant has rights in this process and you need to be cognizant of those rights
as you plan to list your property.
The most important right your tenant has in regards to you listing your property for
sale is with regard to the distribution of their personal contact information. They
have no obligation to share their contact information with anyone – including your
Realtor®. If your tenant only wants communication and showings to start with our
team, then that is their prerogative.
Our preference is to have your tenant receptive to communication from your
Realtor® and so, the sooner we involve them in the process, the more open we are
with communications, the more receptive we are to their needs, the easier this is
going to be. And, the easier showing your property is going to be. Which translate
to an easier sales process – in your best interests.
You want your tenant to be receptive to the showing of the property – they need to
keep the property clean in order to present the best to prospective purchasers, they
need to accommodate a number of showings and intrusions into their daily life. At
the same time, you need to be accommodating to the fact that your tenant needs
to still live in the property in their normal way, that they share no benefit in the sale
of the property, and perhaps even they had intentions of renewing their lease with
you, so the sale presents a considerable inconvenience to their plans. The more
accommodating you are – the more likely they are to reciprocate.
Lastly – once you do have a contract – there will be repairs and additional
inspections. All of these translate to inconveniences to your tenants. We have a
separate sales document that can be shared with you if you are pursuing the sale of
your rental home. What we ask most is that you involve our team very early in the
sales process – it will be in your best interest and help to ensure a smooth process.
