Timing is extremely important in the real estate market! A property attracts the most activity from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed It has the greatest opportunity to sell when it is new on the market!
If you want to be competitive. The buying market has a short attention span. Pricing your home right the first time is key. Proper pricing attracts buyers. An overpriced house will not sell. We want to generate offers before the market moves on to newer listings.
Pricing it Right off the bat would increase your result of selling it at or above market value vs. selling it below Market Value after you lose the new listing traffic new listing appeal!!

Preparing Your Home for Sale Cleanliness Most people are turned off by even the smallest amount of dirt or odor when buying a home. Sellers lose thousands of dollars because they do not adequately clean. If your house is squeaky clean, you will be able to sell your home faster and net hundreds, if not thousands of dollars more. If you are planning on moving, why not get rid of that old junk now so that your house will appear larger? Make more space. Odors must be eliminated especially if you have dogs, cats, or young children in diapers or if you are a smoker. You may not notice the smell, but the buyers do! Showtime When your home is being shown, please do the following: Keep all lights on Keep all drapes and shutters open Keep all doors unlocked Leave soft music playing Take a short excursion with your children and pets Let the buyer be at ease and let the agents do their job Make sure that the agent showing the property uses the lock box to enter your home even if you are still home when they arr ive. Let us know whenever your home is shown by any agent who does not use the lockbox and leave the showing agents name, real estate office, day and time of showing. Our listing coordinator will immediately fax or email the agent a showing feedback sheet which will give us useful information to use in marketing your home. Paint & Carpet Paint is your best improvement investment for getting a greater return on your money. Paint makes the whole house smell clean and neat. If your house has chipped paint, exposed wood, or the paint looks faded, it is time to paint. If your carpet is worn, dirty, outdated, or an unusual color, you may need to seriously consider replacing it. Many houses do not sell because of this problem. Don't think that buyers have more money than you have to replace carpet. They don't. They simply buy elsewhere. Curb Appeal Your front yard immediately reflects the inside condition of your house to the buyer. People enjoy their yards. Make certain that the trees are trimmed so the house can be seen from the street. Have the grass mowed, trimmed and edged. Walkways should be swept. Clean away debris. Remove parked cars. This all adds to curb appeal. If a buyer doesn't like the outside, they may not stop to see the inside.
F.A.Q.
Will you be present at all showings? At open houses I, or a member of my team, will be there. For showings, potential buyers will bring their own agents to see your home. Most buyers prefer only their own agents be present when evaluating a prospective new home. What if another agent tells us they can get us more for the house? Some agents will quote a higher listing price just to get your business, but an overpriced house will not sell. If you choose to work with me, I will conduct a comparative market analysis prior to recommending an asking price for your home. I will explain how I arrived at the price, but ultimately the decision is up to you. I will offer my professional opinion on how the market will value your home. Do we have any responsibilities during the marketing of our home? Your primary job during the sale of your home is to keep it neat and clean for showings and open houses. A large part of a home's appeal involves staging, which is everything from furniture placement to home fragrance. I will advise you on how to stage your home well, giving you easy tips and quick fixes to maximize your home's appeal. What happens once we get an offer? I will help you consider each offer and negotiate the best deal for you. Once you've accepted an offer, I will guide you through the entire closing process and ensure everything
Receiving Offers Presentation of Offers When an offer is generated on your home, you can expect the following from us: 1. Present the offer to you personally. 2. Have the cooperating agent share the buyers qualifications. 3. Go over every term in the contract with you so that you thoroughly understand what the buyers are offering and what they are asking for. 4.

Other sales to date. 3. Competition. 4. Agent comments. Negotiating the Sale When purchase contracts are negotiated, you will be kept informed every step of the way. Other items to expect during the selling process: 1. Establish and explain guidelines prior to presentation. 2. Present all offers to youas quickly as possible. 3. Review the contract with you. 4.
