Zach grew up on a farm in Madison, Indiana, where he was a 10-year 4-H member. He has always been a proud Hoosier and completed his Business Management degree at IU. Zach moved to downtown Indy in 2014 and currently resides in Fountain Square with his wife Katie. His hobbies include cheering on the Colts and Pacers, traveling, attending concerts, and sampling new restaurants around town. He enjoys donating his time to the YMCA because of the impact the organization is able to make in the city. Zach likes to share his passion for flipping and renovating rental properties with clients, as well as working with them to find and understand investment property potential.

Zach was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. From his deep understanding of the areas of Indianapolis to his many connections to help get the house ready to sell, we were fortunate to have Zach on our side

Finding a real estate agent that you trust and feel comfortable with is as hard as finding the right house to call a home. A purchase of this magnitude is a huge life decision and you want to make sure that your real estate agent is as invested in this sale as you are.

We have a great selection of agents who have over 50 combined years of experience.

Sach is your most important resource in determining what price you should list your home at. They will run an analysis of your neighborhood to see what has sold recently and for what price. They will take things like square footage, bed/bath count, and updates into consideration. Additionally, the season and even day of the week you list can matter as well. Trust your agent to help you maximize the value of your home.

COMMISSIONS

In Indiana, the Seller pays both agents commission's out of their proceeds at closing. You will talk through this with your agent to determine what percentage is fair and competitive when marketing your home .

STAGING

If your home is vacant, we recommend hiring a professional stager. Staging costs vary widely, but will probably land in the $2000 range.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Professional real estate photographers typically charge anywhere from $200-400 depending on the square footage of your home. You can add on additional services such as drone footage, video walkthroughs, or blue prints if desired.

CLOSING COSTS

Closing costs cover fees associated with the purchase of a home. These fees include items such as title and settlement services, lenders insurance, prorated taxes, and any credits agreed upon during inspection negotiations.

Marketing

MARKETING TIPS

• Tell Zach your favorite things about your home and neighborhood to make the online description as detailed as possible.
• We strongly recommend paying for professional photos as these determine the first impression the potential buyer will have of your house.

Make sure your photos and descriptions are clear, attractive, and relevant.

These are the first impressions of your home to a potential buyer.

For the first few weeks/ weekends, make sure that your calendar is flexible for showings. This will help provide potential buyers a greater number of viewing options. We recommend trying to be out of town the very first weekend.

You should make arrangements for pets and children during viewing times, to help make the viewing experience as pleasant and distraction free as possible.

IF YOU ONLY HAVE FIFTEEN MINUTES

Make the beds and fluff pillows

Throw away any garbage

Empty out garbage cans and take out the trash

Clean the countertops and put away dishes

Declutter the home, remove any toys

Turn on all indoor and outdoor lights

IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN AN HOUR

Complete the above list (15 minute list)

Vaccum, sweep and mop the floors

Wipe all major appliances, glass, and mirrors

Fold or hang up visible clothing nicely

Dust any visible or reachable areas

At this time, you will be able to accept the offer, negotiate and make a counter-offer, or reject the offer. If you receive multiple offers, your real estate agent will help you negotiate with the buyers to find a price that you are happy with.

Ensure that the process is transparent, and all information provided to the buyers is accurate and up to date.

The offer will officially become binding once the buyer and the seller both agree to the terms in the contract (which includes the price).

Some things that need to occur before the closing process can commence:

1. Home inspection
   
2. Title search and appraisal
3. Final walkthrough with the buyer
   

Prior to closing, the Buyer will likely have a final walkthrough of the home with their agent. The purpose of this walkthrough is to ensure that all the inspection repairs have been completed, all your items are out of the house, and that the property is in same or better condition as when they saw it the first time. It is best practice to leave the home as clean as you can manage - this avoids potential delays and much awkwardness around the closing table

Absolutely all personal items and trash are removed

from the house

Vaccum, sweep and mop the floors

Clean appliances

Put extra keys, garage openers, & manuals in

a kitchen drawer

Make sure all inspection repairs are completed

and documented

Be prepared for obstacles and hiccups! They happen during this phase, but that doesn't mean the sale is over.

At this time you can start packing and moving into your new place!

Closing is the final step in your home selling process.

During the closing phase of the sale, you can expect the following:

1. The deed to the house will be delivered to the purchaser.
   
2. The ownership is transferred to the purchaser.
   
3. Any other documents including financing, insurance, and legal documents are exchanged.
4. The negotiated purchase price is paid and any other fees (i.e. commissions) are paid.

Congratulations! You've sold your home!
