The Selling Process

Pricing Guidelines

Setting the proper asking price for your home is the single most important factor that will determine the success of your home sale. The consequences of making the wrong decision can be painful. If your home is priced too low, you could literally be giving away thousands of dollars. Price it too high, and your home could sit unsold for months, developing the reputation of a problem property. Failure to understand market conditions and the importance of properly pricing your home can cost you thousands and cause your home to linger on the market. Combining the latest technology and my extensive knowledge of the market, I will analyze the current market conditions and assess your time requirements to identify the correct price range for your home.

Pricing Myths

What you originally paid for the property does not affect its current value
The amount of money you need to get from the sale does not affect its value
What you think it should be worth has no effect on its value
What another real estate agent says your property is worth does not affect its value
An appraisal does not always indicate what your property is worth on the open market

The value of your property is determined by what a ready, willing, and able buyer will pay for it on the open market, and this is based upon the value of recent closed sales of similar properties in your area as they relate to yours.

"They can always make an offer."

The wrong price attracts the wrong buyers and the right buyers won’t see it.

"But we have time."

At some percentage over market price, no reasonable amount of time will produce a sale. Even when priced right for the market it may require a month or more of exposure to sell.

"Couldn’t we try for a couple of weeks?"

The majority of prospect activity on a new listing occurs in the early period of marketing. This happens because real estate professionals maintain an inventory of active prospects that have been cultivated over time. When a home is newly listed, they arrange for them to see it. Once this active group has seen the property, showing activity decreases to only those buyers new to the market. For this reason, it is important that sellers present their homes in the best condition and at the best price at first exposure to the market.

Preparing Your Home for Success

Preparing to put your home on the market takes a keen eye for detail and an impartial assessment. Here are some points to consider when preparing to show your home.

Clean. And then clean some more.

You may have lived in your home for some time. You may accept a few stray pet hairs or some dirty tiles but buyers will not. Walk through your home with a discerning eye and remember that the house must be spotless. Don’t ignore the outside of the property. Buyers will notice unkempt gardens, chipped walkways, and oil stains on the driveway.

De-clutter.

Too much stuff not only clutters your home but also clutters your buyers' line of sight and can make your home appear smaller. If the buyer is looking at the clutter in the home instead of the features, you’ve lost the sale. Rent a storage unit if need be and remove all unnecessary items from the home.

Eliminate Smells.

If you have pets or kids or smokers in your home, chances are you have become accustomed to their smells. Buyers will react negatively to these smells. A thorough cleaning of your home may eliminate the odors but if necessary, hire a cleaning company to steam clean the carpets and furniture. Repainting walls which are discolored due to nicotine or cooking can help eliminate odors as well.

Repaint if Necessary.

You may love your colorful home but the goal is for buyers to be able to see themselves living there. To that end, it is preferable to repaint any colorful rooms a more neutral color.

De-personalize the Home.

Given that the goal is for the buyer to be able to picture themselves living there, it is best to remove all personal items such as photos, trophies and diplomas.

Stage Your Home.

You can enlist the services of a professional stager or you can stage it yourself. Stagers can provide services ranging from a general consultation to bringing in new furniture, and everything in between. If you have an eye for color and design, you can stage it yourself. The goal is to arrange your home so it appears to be a model home: devoid of any personal effects but beautiful and spotless.

Professional Partners

I have a unique set of trusted partners in the legal, mortgage, home warranty, contractor, inspection, title, and appraisal arenas that add to our collective experience level and depth of knowledge in each transaction.

Communication

I understand that communication is key throughout the selling process and I will keep you informed every step of the way, in whichever way you prefer. I am always just a call, click, or text away.
