Pricing Your Property

Pricing Your Property

The market value of your home is what buyers are willing to pay in today’s market conditions. My job is to help you set the right price from the start, and to position your property so it stands out in the market.

Dangers of Pricing Above Market Value:

True target buyers may not see your property because it’s listed out of their price range.

Buyers in the higher price point may compare your home to other homes at that price and consider it a bad value.

It may sit on the market longer and sell for less than asking price. MLS statistics show that the longer a home is on the market, the lower the sales price.

Here's how i will price and position your property for the highest return:

Analyze current market conditions and sales prices of comparable properties.

Discuss your goals and needs.

Advise you about ways to make your property more attractive to buyers.

Create a comprehensive marketing plan targeting the most likely buyers.

Market your property to other agents, and get their feedback on its price and presentation.

Keep you up-to-date on sales activity and market conditions.

Listing Your Home

Listing Your Home

Uploading photos and detailed information about your home quickly and accurately is an important part of getting it sold.

Once you have listed your property, we will immediately upload photos and information about your home on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Within minutes, every real estate agent in the system will know that your property is on the market.

Simultaneously, your property will be listed on Windermere.com, which receives more than one million page views every month. Windermere listings are also accessible through top real estate sites such as Realtor.com®, Zillow and Trulia.

Targeting Online Buyers with

Adwerx

Targeting Online Buyers with

Adwerx

Marketing your home online is an increasingly important aspect of getting it sold. Adwerx allows me to market your home to prospective buyers locally on top websites and social media.

Windermere’s partnership with Adwerx makes it easy for me to reach thousands of prospective buyers per week on top sites like Facebook, USA Today, CNN, ESPN, NYT and more. Not only are these ads geographically targeted to local buyers, but they will also follow viewers around the Web to increase the likelihood of your listing ad getting noticed. Plus, you will receive ongoing reporting to see how many people viewed and clicked on your ad.

When you list your home with me, you’ll receive targeted digital marketing that maximizes exposure to get your home sold quickly, and at a high value.

Professional

Photography

Professional

Photography

The old adage says, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” There is a reason that some adages become old … because they are so true.

The share of home buyers who used the Internet to search for a home increased to 100 percent from 96 percent last year. And buyers who used the Internet found photos (66 percent), floor plans (47 percent), and virtual tours (33 percent) to be very useful.*

In order to make the best first impression, we display only professional photography that will appeal to as many buyers as possible.

Professional photographers have the lighting, equipment, and know-how to showcase your home’s most flattering aspects.

This helps your home stand out from the competition, increasing buyer interest and potentially your final sales price.

Market Preparation Guide

Market Preparation Guide

Properly preparing your home for sale is one of the best ways to make a favorable impression that will help it sell more quickly and for the best price. I can help you stage your home or refer you to an accredited staging professional. But there are a lot of things you can do yourself, both before and during showings, to improve its appeal.

Before Showings

Turn on all interior lights, even during the day, and exterior lights at night.

Make the temperature comfortable—approximately 68 degrees.

Keep pets in a separate area, and change litter boxes daily.

Put money and other valuables out of sight.

Keep curtains, drapes and shades open.

Open all doors inside the home, except closets.

During Showings

A buyer will likely spend more time previewing your home if you’re not there.

 If you can’t leave the home, try to stay out of the way, and keep children quiet and out of the way.

Don’t precede or follow potential buyers through your home.

Let the sales associate show and sell your home.

Here’s a checklist to help you identify areas in your home that may need improvement in order to make the best impression on potential buyers.

The First Offer

When selling your home, it’s tempting to pass up the first offer from a potential buyer in hopes that higher offers may come. But the first offer can often be the best offer a seller receives, so it’s wise not to take it for granted. This chart illustrates the reasons why this typically occurs.
