-- HOME SELLERS --

My aggressive and multi-level marketing plan will help you sell your home in the shortest time for the best price.

The days of just entering your home on the MLS system and expecting an easy sale  are behind us.

Last year in Montgomery County, Maryland, only 64.7% of the homes that were listed for sale sold after many days on market.  The average days on market soared, and frustrated sellers withdrew their homes from the market hoping to relist at a future date when the market improved.  Perhaps not the best strategy, but that's what over 35% of sellers did.

What do you need to do to sell your home in today's market?

In today's buyer's market, properly marketing your home and selling it for it's full potential value, is a very carefully managed multi-level process.

When I work with you to sell your home, I will thoroughly research the local real estate market activity, identify your most likely target market, determine what buyer's would most likely be interested in buying your home, and create a marketing campaign that will capture the attention of your targeted prospects. 

By using a multi-level strategy to market your home, I offer you a comprehensive plan to get your home sold in the shortest amount of time for the best price.

From a smaller condo to a luxury home, Barbara Michaluk works with you every step of the way!

-- Ronald and Alicia      

Barbara,   Thanks again for all of your time and amazing knowledge today.  We really enjoyed it, and you exceeded our expectations.  I am so glad I discovered you on the internet!  
-John

I would like to thank you for the great service you offered in helping us find a home that we love.  Barbara came with several suggested locations on the first day we met.  Although I had thoroughly researched sales on the internet, Barbara's knowledge of the area was invaluable.    Barbara's intimate knowledge of the community was what led us to the location.   We had no intention of settling on a place immediately, but we found exactly what we wanted after just a short time of looking. 
        During negotiations and contract preparation, Barbara assisted us all aspects of the deal.  She also referred us to a lender who offered excellent financing.  The result was that we were exceptionally pleased with all aspects of our purchase experience.   
- Ken and Joan

Barbara, thanks for helping Sharma and me find this wonderful home.  Your knowledge and experience were extremely helpful in every step of the process.  We will surely recommend you to our family and friends when they are ready to buy or sell their homes.

 Barbara.  Thanks for helping us get those repairs done in our home.  I know the seller didn't want to do anything.  Your persistance and knowledge made the difference.  I don't know why anyone would buy a home without their own agent.  This taught me a good lesson.  
--Sean

 Dear Barbara.  I don't usually write letters, but in this case I want everyone to know how hard you worked to help me get my home.  It's hard when one is out of the country.  But, your management of my purchase was admirable. My family and I are very pleased with our home in Gaithersburg. 
-Paula and Steve

 Barbara.  Thank you very much for helping my wife and me get our home financed. I didn't believe that anyone would give us a VA loan after the last one.  We love our home and we'll be in touch with you when my brother is ready.

-John 

 Barbara.  Thank you very much for all of your hard work.  Not only did you sell my home but you worked for a solid year to help me find the home for my family.  Jen is very happy not working in the city any longer and loves living in the suburbs.  I believe we're in our last home until our children are grown, but I'll remember you whenever the word real estate agent is mentioned.  Thanks again.  .  P.S.  Thanks for your patience.
