Immediately notify all Realtors with registered prospects via MLS Reverse Prospecting.
Submit your property to the Multiple Listing Service of Greater Cincinnati exposing the property to almost 4,000 members of the MLS.

Create a Voice Pad script for your home and rider on the yard sign, offering 24 hour details to prospective buyers.
Create color brochures listing the attributes of your home for potential buyers to be kept in the home for showings.
Market your home through a variety of methods including Voice Pad, Time Warner Cable Television Home Tour, personal newsletter, classified advertising, flyer distribution, internet and agent networking.

Monitor and keep you apprised of any changes in market conditions, and keep you informed of all efforts being done to sell your home.
Present all offers in a timely fashion with sufficient background information and evaluation to enable you to make a comfortable, informed decision.
Track the progress of the loan process, fulfillment of contingencies, inspection and other details necessary to accomplish a successful closing.

3. Relocation

If you are moving out of Greater Cincinnati, we can help! Comey & Shepherd Realtors^® is a member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World^TM, an association of 1,110 independent real estate companies nationwide. We can refer you to one of the 93,000 sales agents in nearly 4,000 real estate offices, and you can be assured they share our standards of excellence and professionalism.

4. Buyer Services

When working with buyers, we begin with a detailed conversation to discern your 'must haves', 'must not haves' and 'wish list'. We then set up an MLS prospect search system, which matches your parameters with available homes. We are notified any time a new listing comes on the market that appears to match your needs, and in turn we will e-mail, fax or phone those details to you.

If you are a relocating buyer, we will initially introduce you to suburbs and neighborhoods, then move on to touring homes.

Once you have found a home and an accepted contract has been achieved, we will be there every step of the way to help coordinate inspections, financing, closing and moving-in details.
