Sellers: Why Work With Us?

---

We, at 👉 The Rams Group 👈 are focused on building clients for life, who eventually become our friends. And, that is how we roll! 

We have our process streamlined and nailed! We call it The RAMS Seller System. It breaks up into 4 distinct steps: from start-to-close. 

• Ready your property for sale - prep, repairs, staging
• Attract the right buyers - targeted marketing using AI and social-media
• Maximize exposure - MLS, Google, YouTube, social
• Secure the highest offer - negotiation + closing

To begin with, we at 👉 The Rams Group 👈 are straight-shooters, committed to helping you sell your home for maximum value—always putting your goals ahead of our own. 

When you work with us as a seller, you can expect a comprehensive, strategic approach from day one. We start with a detailed Seller Consultation where we walk you through market conditions, pricing strategy, timing, and the do’s and don’ts that can make or break your sale. We’ll show you how to avoid costly mistakes, position your home to stand out, and attract the right buyers.

We bring in a full team of vetted professionals—photographers, stagers, contractors, painters, cleaners, and more—to ensure your property looks its absolute best before hitting the market. Every partner meets our high quality standards, and we manage the entire process so you can focus on your move.

Once we go live, your home benefits from multi-channel marketing including professional photography, video tours, social media campaigns, Google exposure, and targeted outreach to qualified buyers. Our expert negotiation skills ensure you’re not just getting offers—you’re getting the right offer.

And throughout it all, we’re known for lightning-fast communication—calls, emails, and texts answered in near real time—because selling your home is too important to wait.

Over the years, Sijy and I have refined a proven, step-by-step home selling system, and customized it to deliver the strongest results for our clients here in the Greater Seattle and Eastside markets.

Some of the key elements include:

• Fewer, Better Photos – Professional images that spark intrigue and make buyers want to see more instead of rejecting your home
• Curiosity-Creating Ad Copy – Marketing language designed to grab attention and draw buyers in
• Scarcity & Social Proof – Positioning your home as super-unique and creating urgency in the Buyers' minds to act pronto and not miss out 
• Opportunity Showings – Coordinating buyer activity to create competition and increase perceived value
   

And that’s just the start. Every step in our system is intentional, with each element dovetailing perfectly into the next to generate maximum exposure, create buyer interest thereby increase competition, and inject FOMO into the minds of prospective buyers. These steps couple with our great Social-media marketing and solid data-driven sales strategy will bring it home for you.

When we meet, we’ll walk you through the entire system in detail so you can see exactly how these strategies work together to increase the probability your home will sell for top dollar, in the least amount of time, and with the least amount of hassle.

📅 Let’s get together to talk strategy and results.

Great question! While online resources are a helpful starting point, that’s exactly where their usefulness ends when it comes to selling one of your largest financial assets. Real estate transactions are complex - worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars - and every detail matters.

For example:

• How do you know if the “comps” you find online are truly comparable?
• How do you position your home so it stands out in a competitive market?
• How do you handle tricky contract language or “weasel clauses” that can cost you thousands?
• How do you negotiate not just the price but the terms to protect your bottom line?
   

That’s where I come in...  As your listing brokers, we handle every detail - from accurate pricing and professional presentation to marketing, negotiation, and closing - while safeguarding your best interests at every turn. Our job, at The Rams Group, is to help you net the most money, in the shortest time, with the least stress.

Selling a home isn’t just about getting it on the MLS - it’s about strategy, protection, and results. Let me manage the details so you can focus on your next chapter, knowing your sale is in expert hands.

Well, there is nothing to convince! The DIY approach works as anybody can sell or buy a home; however, is that positioning you to win? 

You wouldn't open your chest and do heart-surgery yourself if you felt chest-discomfort by watching a bunch of 📺 YouTube videos, would you?! Sure, if this is not your first home-selling/buying rodeo, yes maybe. 

However, there's a reason you hire specialists who are in the trenches doing this daily, who'll offer the best advice based on the then market, correct?   

Putting your home online is only the first step - and honestly, it’s the easiest 3% of the selling process. The other 97% is where a skilled listing agent makes all the difference in your results.

That 97% includes:

✅ Pricing strategy that attracts the right buyers and maximizes your net proceeds
✅ Professional marketing to make your home stand out in a crowded market
✅ Buyer qualification to avoid wasted time and failed deals
✅ Expert negotiation to get you the strongest price and terms
✅ Transaction management to keep everything on track from offer to close
✅ Protecting your interests - from earnest money to contract deadlines
✅ Coordination with vetted professionals like photographers, stagers, inspectors, contractors, escrow officers, and title reps

Selling a home is complex, emotional, and high-stakes. Our job is to make it seamless, strategic, and profitable - while shielding you from costly mistakes and stress.

 On average, we save our seller clients dozens of hours - and a significant amount of stress- throughout the selling process. 

We do this by front-loading the work: taking the time upfront to fully understand your goals, timing, and property’s unique selling points.

From there, we implement a streamlined, step-by-step plan that eliminates wasted time and guesswork. We coordinate everything—home preparation, professional marketing, showings, buyer qualification, and negotiations—so you don’t have to manage the moving pieces yourself.

We also leverage cutting-edge technology, targeted online exposure, and our extensive network of qualified buyers and agents to ensure your home reaches the right audience fast. This efficiency not only saves you time but also helps generate strong offers sooner—keeping your selling timeline and bottom line on track.

When we represent you as a seller, our fiduciary responsibility is to protect your interests, safeguard your equity, and secure the strongest possible price and terms for your home.

We approach every negotiation with a clear strategy - backed by market data, buyer psychology, and years of experience - so you’re always in the best position at the table.

From managing multiple-offer situations to structuring terms that protect your bottom line, we focus on getting you the results you want without leaving money on the table.

But don’t just take our word for it—hear directly from our clients about how we’ve negotiated on their behalf on 👉 Video 👈 as well as 👉 Google 👈. 

We, at 👉 The Rams Group 👈 have your privacy and confidentiality as our top priority - especially when you’re selling a property. Any sensitive details about your finances, such as income, investments, or personal identifiers, are kept strictly private and only discussed with the appropriate professionals (such as your attorney, or CPA).

When it comes to your sale, we control the flow of information carefully. We only share details necessary to market your home effectively and to negotiate the best outcome on your behalf. If your friends, neighbors, or family ask us about your sale, we always defer to you to share (or not share) whatever you choose and tell us.

Our commitment is simple: your information stays secure, your trust stays intact, and your privacy is respected at every step.

In Washington, most sellers can expect to pay several common closing costs when they sell their home. While exact amounts vary depending on your property, location, and negotiated terms, here are the typical expenses to plan for:

1️⃣ Real Estate Broker Commissions

• Usually the largest seller expense. This is negotiated in your listing agreement and typically covers both our (Your Agents') fees and the buyer’s agent’s fee. Commissions are not fixed and mandated by law. Everything is negotiable in Real Estate including agent commissions.
   

2️⃣ Title Insurance (Owner’s Policy)

• In Washington, sellers customarily pay for the buyer’s owner’s title insurance policy, which protects the buyer against future claims to the property’s ownership.
   

3️⃣ Escrow/Settlement Fee

• This fee is charged by the escrow company for handling the transaction, holding funds, and ensuring all documents are properly recorded. In many WA counties, this cost is split 50/50 between buyer and seller, but in some it’s traditionally paid by the seller.
   

4️⃣ Excise (Transfer) Tax

• Washington State charges a Real Estate Excise Tax (REET), which is a percentage of the selling price and is paid by the seller. The rate is tiered:
  • 1.10% on the first $525,000
  • 1.28% on $525,000–$1,525,000
  • 2.75% on $1,525,000–$3,025,000
  • 3% on amounts above $3,025,000
    (Local jurisdictions may add small additional amounts.)
     

5️⃣ Mortgage Payoff

• If you have an outstanding mortgage, the balance plus any accrued interest and lender fees will be paid from your proceeds at closing.
   

6️⃣ HOA Fees or Resale Certificates (if applicable)

• If your property is part of an HOA, you may need to pay prorated dues, unpaid assessments, and a fee for providing resale documents to the buyer.
   

7️⃣ Miscellaneous Costs

• Courier/wire fees
• Recording fees for county documents
• Agreed-upon repairs or buyer credits (if negotiated)
   

💡 Tip: Before listing, we’ll provide you with a Seller Net Sheet that estimates your total costs based on your specific home, so you know exactly what to expect before accepting an offer.
