Lisa's Frequently Asked Questions
How Will My Home Be Marketed?
It takes more than a sign to sell a property. It takes hard work, a strong network and a thoughtful plan, a plan that is individually tailored for each property. It takes an expert.
Lisa has spent most of her time in real estate selling or marketing luxury or specialty homes. Nobody knows more or will care more. It is her personal goal to garner the best price for your property with an individually customized, aggressive marketing plan that will attract the most qualified and interested buyers. Over her years in the business, Lisa has found that the following areas contribute to her development of a successful marketing plan.
Prominence and Visibility - Probably the single greatest service any broker and agent can bring to their clients is their prominence in the marketplace and a vast network of connections. Lisa has a vast personal network which is coupled with Prudential Fox & Roach's relationships with other area brokerage firms and Prudential affiliate brokerage firms through out the country. Using this network, the marketing opportunities for your property are greatly expanded.
Knowledge - Selling homes grows more challenging every year. Environmental, safety, disclosure and lending regulations are designed to meet the demands of a new, litigious and complicated world. Lisa's experience, continuing education and attention to detail can help you resolve any issues that may arise.
Emotion - Finding a qualified buyer is only half of the equation; the other half is mental. The "mental" aspect of selling is important. It's simply not enough to bring the buyers to the property; it is critical to sell the property on an emotional level. No one buys a house for practical reasons alone, because, it is in great part an emotional decision. Lisa learns to love the homes she sells. Her enthusiasm for a home is contagious. She has a unique way of showing perspective buyers how special your potential home is!
Cooperation - Brokering, in the truest sense of the word, is about matching the desires of the customer to the property of the client. The Multiple Listing Service, which cooperates fully with other real estate companies, helps Lisa notify all area brokerage companies about your property.
Advertising - Lisa recognizes the positive effects of having many different ways to advertise her client's homes. By utilizing newspapers, magazines, direct marketing, e-mail, and the web, Lisa is able to customize the marketing of your home to the right buyer. Whether the buyers are in the Philadelphia area, or in another state, if they are looking for a Main Line home, they will find your home!

What Can I Do To Help My Home Sell Faster?
Lisa believes that she and her sellers must work as partners in order to have a successful outcome. Although each home is unique, Lisa has found that concentrating on the following areas is a common starting place for a successful sale.
Make your house as appealing as possible - Part of Lisa's strategy entails that you both critically look at the interior and exterior portions of your home. By separating each room and area, Lisa can help you determine what, if anything needs to be done to make your house more saleable. Prior to her career in real estate, Lisa owned a highly successful interior design company. She will use that expertise and her real estate know-how to help make suggestions that will make your home more attractive to potential buyers.
Price it Right - Lisa believes that one of the best ways to prevent a house from selling is to price it too high. Before you decide what price to ask for your home, Lisa will perform an in-depth study of all the factors that might influence the sale of your home. She will then discuss the market area and trends with you and help you arrive at the appropriate asking price.

Commitment
"We met Lisa DeBella several years ago when we were in the process of purchasing a new residence. She was the agent representing the seller of a much-desired town house that rarely came on the market. A bidding war ensued with several other interested clients. Lisa ethically, honestly and tactfully handled the situation. She was there for her client on a moments notice. After we received an agreement on the house, her enthusiasm and her way of doing business lead us to making one more decision. We asked her to sell our old house. But because she was so good she not only became our agent, she is now a dear friend."
Irwin & Beth Robbins
President, Retired
Best Home Builders
"I was Lisa's first client. For ten months I tried to sell my house with other agents and other companies. Their idea of marketing was to constantly ask me to lower my sale price. Then I met Lisa. She came in, made a couple of suggestions on how the house would show better and two weeks later it was sold! She found me my next house and when I was ready to move again she sold that one too. I also had a country house in Bucks County that I had been trying to sell for two years, Lisa got involved and six weeks later it was gone. I found her professionalism to be beyond all others, and her attention to detail was remarkable. I was so impressed with her abilities - I married her!"

What do I need to l know about buying or selling a house in Pa.?
The Consumer Notice - explains Agency Relationships. It is not a contract.
Pennsylvania Law requires real estate brokers and salespersons (licensees) to advise consumers (buyers or sellers of real estate) of the types of business relationships permitted by the Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act. This notice must be provided to the consumer at the first contact where substantive discussion about real estate occurs.
A real estate licensee/agent is required to disclose how they represent a buyer and seller in any real estate transaction. Before a prospective client/customer, discloses any confidential information to a real estate agent (licensee) regarding a real estate transaction, you should understand what type of business or agency relationships are available to you with that agent (licensee). By doing this you now become knowledgeable enough to give an informed consent as to the type of agency relationship you desire. Unless you select an agency relationship by signing a written agreement providing for such a relationship, the licensee is not representing you. A business relationship of any kind will not be presumed.
Prudential Fox & Roach practices the following types of Agency.
Single Agency
In this form of agency a Broker/Licensee will play one of two roles. They are either a seller's agent or a buyer's agent.
Seller agency is a relationship where the licensee, or listing agent/broker, upon entering into a written agreement, works only for a seller. See Sellers - Listing Contract
Buyer Agency is a relationship where the licensee, or buyer's agent/broker, upon entering into a written agreement, works only for the buyer, even if the seller pays a portion or all of the commission.
Dual agency
Dual Agency is the most confusing and least understood form of agency. In this form of representation, the Broker/Licensee represents both the seller and buyer equally. Dual agency is most likely to occur when a licensee with a real estate firm working as a buyer's agent, shows the buyer property(s) owned by sellers for whom that same firm is also working as a seller's listing agent. To work as a dual agent, a firm must first obtain the informed written consent of the buyer and the seller (Disclosed Dual Agency/Designated Agency). A real estate licensee working as a disclosed dual agent must explain to each party that, in addition to working as their agent, their firm will also work as the agent for the other party. Designated Agency allows individual licensees to maintain their exclusive status of representation with a seller and buyer, even when both parties are represented by the same Broker.
In the event a single licensee represents both the seller and the buyer in a transaction, the Licensee will act as a dual agent as described above. Written consent of the parties is required for this change to occur.
Buyers
Buyer Agency Contract
As a buyer wishing to be represented by a buyer's agent, you must enter into a separate written buyer agency agreement, an "Exclusive Buyer Agency Contract". It should be noted that the standard practice in the area is for the seller to pay a commission which compensates the buyer's agent.
The following are negotiable and shall be addressed in the exclusive buyer agency contract with the licensee:
- The duration of the employment contract
- The fees or commissions
- The scope of the activities or practices
- The broker's cooperation with other brokers, including the sharing of fees
Sellers
Listing Contract
The Listing or Exclusive Right to Sell Contract is a personal service contract between you, the Seller, and a licensed real estate broker. It is both an employment contract and a compensation agreement. The contract authorizes the broker to act as your agent, by finding someone to buy your house, and represent you during the sale of your property. In turn, the seller promises to pay the broker for their services. Usually, the broker's fee is a percentage of the sale price. Sellers should be aware that the following are negotiable and shall be addressed in the listing contract:
- The duration of the employment or listing contract.
- The fees or commissions.
- The scope of the activities or practices.
- The broker's cooperation with other brokers, including the sharing of fees.
