One of the first questions people ask us before listing a home, "Are homes selling in this market?" 

Yes! There are three keys you need to know:
​

Price it Right

By far, the biggest mistakes people make in selling their home involves overpricing it and not doing price reductions often enough.

However, people's motivations are different when selling a home. Some people need to sell quickly, while others put their home on the market. If they can get the "price they want", then they will sell.

You need to know your motivation first, because people who need to sell quickly, need to make price adjustments more quickly and/or start out with a more aggressive price than a non-motivated seller.

​When we consult with clients about selling their home, we get into this in more detail, after doing a market analysis and devising a strategy with our clients.
​

​Stage It Right

Believe it or not, most people do not present their home in the best possible manner. This is good, because they're your competition! 

That's why it's vitally important that you get your home ready to sell and deliver the best presentation possible.  Homes that are staged well and priced right tend to sell first and get top dollar. 

There are a lot of things you can do, with little or no money, to help sell your home. Once we see the photos of your home, we can give you our honest opinion on what needs to be done, if anything.

Remember: Your home is not the only home on the market. People like to buy homes that are "move-in ready."

​Do Not List With a 6% Agent!

The MLS is the MLS. There is only one in your area.

A good listing agent explains these two facts to their clients, understands contracts and has done a lot of deals to understand the pitfalls. Other than these 3 things, there really is nothing else a listing agent can do.

So, why would you pay 6% to get these services, when you can get the same service at a fraction of the cost?

Going back to #1 ("Price It Right"), if you can get the same service at a lower cost, this enables you to lower your price and net the same money when your home sells. Research has shown that listing your home on the MLS for a lower fee is better than listing your home on the MLS for a higher fee.
