EDUCATE
The Real Estate market can change! When it comes to listing, there are three types of markets to be prepared for: sellers, buyers, and balanced. A buyer's market is the least ideal market for a homeowner and can negatively impact the sale of a property.
We’re not all about throwing a sign up and getting transactions done. We make sure you understand the current real estate market in order to make sure now is the right time to sell or move.
PRICING AND STRATEGY
Once the decision to sell is official, the potential sale price you set is a crucial factor. We take into consideration the current market conditions, your home including upgrades and condition. We research neighborhood stats and information frequently and will use this information to compare your home with other sales and activity in your neighborhood in order to determine the anticipated selling price.
Depending on current market, we will advise a pricing and marketing strategy that will ensure we get as many qualified buyers through your door as possible and achieve the highest selling price.
