WHY PRICING MATTERS.
Pricing your home correctly from the start is crucial for a quick, top-dollar sale. Overpricing can drive buyers away, while underpricing costs you money. Real estate agents use comparative market analysis to set fair market prices.
Pricing is a science and the most important strategy in selling your home. During our consultation, we’ll align your goals with market conditions and create a tailored pricing plan.
THREE TOOLS FOR PRICING YOUR HOME.
TIP 1:
TIP 2:
Prepare a Comparative Market Analysis
TIP 3:
Using the MLS, we help determine your ideal listing price by reviewing local prices, neighboring home values, and market trends. Remember, a listed price doesn’t always reflect the final sale price.
Figure out the type of real estate market we are currently facing. In real estate, we are always dealing with one of three types of markets:
1. Seller's Market: High demand, low inventory homes often sell above market value.
2. Balanced Market: Equal demand and inventory homes sell around market value.
3. Buyer's Market: High inventory, low demand homes may sell below market value.
Consider the home improvements you have made to your property.
Upgrades and renovations can increase your home’s value compared to outdated homes nearby. While you may not see a full return on investment, these improvements can justify a higher asking price.
Real estate agents guide sellers on cost-effective repairs and upgrades to attract buyers. To showcase your home at its best and make a great first impression, consider these tips for preparing your home to list.
TIP 1:
DECLUTTER
When presenting your home to buyers, you want to make it feel as large and airy as possible. By removing excess furniture, home decor, and personal belongings, you may feel like the room is empty. Still, it will make your house look full of potential and make it easier for buyers to visualize themselves living in your home.
TIP 2:
DEEP CLEAN
A spotlessly clean home typically tells buyers that the house has been well-maintained by the sellers, so they don't suspect that the house has been poorly maintained or that anything wrong with the home has not been already properly fixed by the current sellers.
TIP 3:
NEUTRALIZE YOUR HOME
Neutral colors in a home make the spaces look brighter, airy, and larger. Furthermore, neutral tones can appeal to a broader audience, as they help make for a blank canvas on which buyers can visualize how they can adapt and decorate the space.
TIP 4:
REPAIR AS NEEDED
When you list your home, there are likely other homes that buyers are looking at in your area. Therefore, to make your home stand out and get the most value for your home, go around your home and jot a list of any repairs your home may need (including screeching door sounds, broken cabinet handles, screeching floors, etc.). If possible, make these repairs before listing your home, as buyers will notice, and they may either scratch your property off their list or offer a low-ball price to justify the cost of repairs they will need to do.
TIP 5:
SPRUCE UP YOUR CURB APPEAL
As we have mentioned, first impressions are crucial when buyers visit your home. Since buyers will first see your home's curb appeal, make sure it looks presentable. Cut the grass, trim trees and shrubs, add fresh plants, paint the door, and add a new welcome mat.
M A R K E T I N G T A C T I
As you prepare to list your home, focus on creating marketing materials. Here are some key services we offer sellers to consider for your listing.
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY.
Professional pictures of the exterior and interior of your home will help catch the eye of potential buyers when highlighting them on your marketing tools.
CREATE YOUR LISTING.
Realtors ensure your home is showcased with professional photos, compelling descriptions, and accurate details, attracting the right buyers through MLS. Plus, they maximize your listing's exposure by sharing it across multiple platforms, tapping into their network, and leveraging their expertise to highlight what makes your home stand out. A well-crafted MLS listing can make all the difference in selling quickly and for top dollar!
SIGNAGE.
Realtor signs are more than just markers they’re powerful marketing tools! A professional sign grabs attention, builds interest, and signals to potential buyers that your home is on the market. Plus, signs demonstrate that your sale is backed by a trusted expert, adding credibility and generating more leads. It’s a simple yet effective way to get your home noticed!
POOREXAMPLES OUREXAMPLES
Upon receiving an offer, you will have to look scrutinously at all the terms and conditions included in the contract. As a buyer may have placed an offer through their experienced real estate agent looking out for their best interest, you will have to make sure their offer is right for you and that they are not taking advantage of your vulnerable position.
TIPS
ON MAKING NEGOTIATIONS RUN SMOOTHLY.
Every offer is different, and you will have your bar of expectations, while the buyers will have their own idea of what your home is worth. Therefore, negotiations can get complicated as both parties reach an agreement over the terms and conditions. To not get overwhelmed and avoid wasting time, decide on what is important to you (i.e., whether it's the price, not having any contingencies, what stays and what goes, the closing date, etc.) and make any amendments to the contract as necessary.
HOW DO NEGOTIATIONS TYPICALLY PLAY OUT?
The steps on how negotiations play out vary immensely, but these are the general steps in which they occur:
STEP 1:
STEP 2:
A buyer makes an offer.
You either accept the offer, decline the offer, or send in a counteroffer at a higher price and/or with different terms and/or contingencies which, upon making these changes to the contract, you would agree to sell.
STEP 3: If you sent in a counteroffer, the buyer will either accept the counteroffer, decline the counteroffer, or send you their counteroffer, which upon making their changes to the contract, they would agree to purchase your home. When counteroffers are involved, they can go back and forth a few times before both parties reach an agreement.
