Global reach

Marketing with power

We only work with professional photographers and videographers who have earned our trust in the quality of their work. They are the best in their fields and produce work that captures the details and essence of a property’s prominent features and assets.

On our websites, brochures, print advertising, and videos, exceptional presentation is an essential requirement of the Engel & Völkers brand that greatly increases your home’s impact with potential buyers.

Whether you’re buying or selling a home, Engel & Völkers has virtual reality offerings to create an optimal experience. Clients can enjoy stunning 3D guided tours of Engel & Völkers listings to discover every aspect of a home, envision life there, and refine their search.

When listing your property with Engel & Völkers, you receive the invaluable benefits of its exposure to our highly targeted contacts, shops, and advisors across the street, country, and world. The listing process begins with a comprehensive analysis of your property by an Engel & Völkers advisor who uses proprietary tools to create a Comparative Market Analysis that includes a pricing and marketing strategy, giving your

Our property pricing perspective:

• Detailed knowledge of the local market provides insight into the buyer’s perception of the home’s value.

• Accurate pricing based on Comparative Market Analysis is key to achieving the best possible value from the sale of your home.

A Comparative Market Analysis performed by an Engel &Völkers advisor is one of our essential services; it ensures the most accurate assessment of your home’s value based on data and information that includes current and historical real estate activity in your market.

• Certain home improvements may be suggested to help it sell; however, in some instances, the portion of the price related to home improvements may be less than the actual cost of improvements.

• An offer will typically be lower than the listed price but can be negotiated higher as an offer also signifies that a connection to the home has already been made.

Time and exposure

Know when to take action

The following chart demonstrates that interest and excitement among potential homebuyers are highest within the first four weeks a property is on the market. During this time frame, you have the best opportunity to apply Engel & Völkers’ marketing programs, communicate the value of your property, and ultimately,

sell it. Preparation and an effective pricing strategy are crucial in capitalizing on this initial exposure, and your Engel & Völkers advisor is very experienced in strategically navigating through this critical time for optimal results.

To find the ideal buyer for a home, it must be exposed to a large, relevant audience of potential buyers. Because Engel & Völkers has shops and advisors spanning the globe, there are no boundaries to the exposure we can provide for your property.

Why You Need a Real Estate Professional

Given the proliferations of services that help home buyers and sellers complete their own transaction, you may have considered whether you should go it yourself instead of working with an agent. However, there is no substitute for an experienced professional, and taking on all the responsibility yourself could be costlier than an agent's commission in the long run.

According to the National Association of Realtors' 2021 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, only 7% of homes sales were accomplished as for sale by owners (FSBO), and of those, 57% knew their buyer personally. FSBO home sales had a median price of $260,000 in 2021, compared to the agent assisted home sale median price of $318,000.

Beyond the price advantage of using an agent, homes listed by real estate professionals get more exposure and their sellers get more support. Here are some other considerations:

• They're trained and licensed professionals.

• They have experience in your neighborhood and your market.

• They have oversight from brokers and state licensing officials.

• Their job is to advise you the best way to reach your goals.

• They know how to present your home and deal with buyers.

• They know how and where to market properties effectively.

• They know how to overcome typical snags that occur in real estate transactions and closings.

• They understand state-required disclosures and look out for your best interests.

• They understand personal safety and security for your belongings during showings.

• They know the best resources to make transactions go more smoothly, from bankers to home-stagers to contractors.

• They have access to the most accurate and comprehensive data - the MLS, the only data repository that has the most up-to-date listing and sales information.

• They know how to negotiate.

• Their job is making real estate transactions successful.

• Their continuing education keeps them up-to-date on housing issues.

With a real estate professional in your corner, you'll have a partner by your side to advocate for you and advise you through the entire home sale process.

Intelligent Pricing and Timing

Pricing a home for sale is as much art as science, but there are a few truisms that never change.

• Fair market value attracts buyers, overpricing never does.

• The first two weeks of marketing are crucial.

• The market never lies, but it can change its mind.

Fair market value is what a willing buyer and a willing seller agree by contract is a fair price for the home. Values can be impacted by a wide range of reasons, but the two biggest are location and condition. Generally, fair market value can be estimated by considering the comparables - other similar homes that have sold or are currently for sale in the same area.

Sellers often view their homes as special, which tempts them to put a higher price on it, believing they can always come down later, but that's a serious mistake.

Overpricing prevents the very buyers who are eligible to buy the home from ever seeing it. Most buyers shop by price range and look for the best value in that range.

Intelligent Pricing and Timing

Your best chance of selling your home is in the first two weeks of marketing. Your home is fresh and exciting to buyers and to their agents.

With a sign in the yard, full description and photos in the local Multiple Listing Service, distribution across the Internet, open houses, broker's caravan, ads, and email blasts to your listing agent's buyers, your home will get the greatest flurry of attention and interest in the first two weeks.

If you don't get many showings or offers, you've probably overpriced your home, and it's not comparing well to the competition. Since you can't change the location, you'll have to either improve the home's condition or lower the price.

Consult with your agent and ask for feedback. Perhaps you can do a little more to spruce up your home's curb appeal, or perhaps stage the interior to better advantage.

The market can always change its mind and give your home another chance, but by then you've lost precious time and perhaps allowed a stigma to cloud your home's value.

Intelligent pricing isn't about getting the most for your home - it's about getting your home sold quickly at fair market value.

Curb Appeal, A First Impression That Lasts

Most buyers form their first impression of your home before they even get out of the car. Curb appeal is the view from the curb that gives potential buyers the first chance to fall in love with your home.

The exterior of your home should be in pristine condition - clean, cleared of clutter, with no visible repairs needed. A broken step, overgrown bush, or abandoned toys in the yard can spoil both the home's appearance and the potential buyer's first impression.

Here's a simple cleanup and spruce up checklist to make sure your home leaves a stellar first impression:

• Clear driveways and walkways of snow, weeds, and debris. Repair or replace cracked steps or pavers. Whenever possible, driveways should be clear of vehicles.

• Keep your lawn mowed, edged, and watered. Prune dead branches and plants. Weed flower beds and replace leggy, thin landscaping with fresh plants and flowers.

• Replace loose or damaged roof shingles, clean the gutters, and paint and caulk window trim and doors.

• Make the front door area shine: consider repainting your front door and placing a new welcome mat. Polish the door hardware and make sure all front facing windows are clean.

• Power wash siding, brick, windows, and porches.

• Replace light fixtures -and if possible, pick new fixtures with the same mounting system to save time and hassle.

• Install new house numbers that match the finish of your light fixtures.

• Consider upgrading your mailbox; it's an inexpensive fix and the first thing that buyers will see when they pull up to your home.

• Install flowerboxes or pots of blooming flowers for a pop of color

• Hang a seasonal wreath from your front door

Staging Your Home

When you list your home for sale, it becomes a product rather than your personal retreat. You want potential homebuyers to be able to envision themselves living in the home, which can be difficult if your family's personality is still evident. Before going on market, your agent will recommend decluttering and depersonalizing, but you may also want to bring in a professional stager to help guide you through showing your home in its most marketable light.

When done correctly, staging can not only set the right emotional tone for buyers about the home, but can also help highlight the most attractive features of the home. Staging can potentially make you money, too: 77% of listing agents said a well-staged environment increases the dollar value buyers are willing to offer, according to the National Association of Realtors Profile of Home Staging. Staging can also shorten the length of time your home is on the market, with agents reporting that their staged homes were going under contract faster than those without.

A professional stager will typically begin with an in-home consultation, where they will walk through your home with you, review the property, and provide a report with their advice for the home. The report will include advice on de-cluttering, storing items, reorganizing furniture placement, and possibly changing out paint colors in different rooms. The stager may also give tips for improving curb appeal. The most common rooms that are staged are the living room, kitchen, master bedroom, and dining room.

Depending on what your home needs, and whether you want to do the work yourself or hire it done, your stager could handle bringing in supplementary furniture and décor items, manage painting or other contractors coming to your home, and have a more hands on role in getting your home ready to go on the market. The cost of services provided will vary depending how much assistance your home will need.

Showings and Open House Checklist

Once your home goes on the market, real estate agents may call to show your home anytime, even if you've listed preferred showing times in the instructions. Keeping your home in showtime condition can be challenging, especially if you have children and pets. Here are some pointers for presenting your home in the best light

Showings & Open House Checklist

• Eliminate clutter: The less cluttered your home, the better it shows. If you have a lot of knick-knacks, collections, or family mementos, consider renting a portable storage unit, which can be stored until it's time to deliver it to your new home.

• Keep, donate, throw away: If you have time before you go on the market, sort unwanted belongings into one of these three baskets. You'll receive more in tax benefits for your donations than pennies on the dollar at a garage sale. It's faster, more efficient and you'll help more people.

• Remove temptations: Take valuable jewelry and collectibles to a safety deposit box, a safe, or store them in a secure location. Also secure your prescription medicine and private financial documents.

• Remove breakables: Figurines, china, crystal and other breakables should be packed and put away in the garage or storage.

• Be hospitable: You want your home to look like a home. Open the blinds, turn on the lights, and make visitors feel welcomed.

• Have a family plan of action: When a showing happens at an inconvenient time, get the family engaged. Everyone can pitch in to tidy up in a hurry: pick up glasses, plates, clothing, and anything else left lying about.

• Get in the habit: Wash dishes immediately after meals. Clean off countertops. Make beds in the morning. Keep pet toys and beds washed and smelling fresh.

• Clean out the garage and attic: Buyers want to see what kind of storage there is.

The Essential Five-minute Clean-up for Showings

Everyone gets a basket and cleans up clutter. Check for hazards, like toys left on the floor. Make sure all toys, including bicycles, are put away.

• Put pets in daycare, sleep cages or take them with you: In the listing instructions, there should be a warning if there is a big dog on premises. Buyers with allergies also may appreciate knowing in advance if you have pets.

• Turn on lights: Open the drapes, turn on lights so buyers can really see.

• Give the buyer privacy: The buyer cannot come to your home without being accompanied by an agent. They will be more comfortable touring the home without your presence.

Selling Your Home in a Tough Market

When home prices fall, supply of homes for sale increases, and buyers become more demanding, it's a buyer's market. That doesn't mean you can't sell your home for a fair price. You just have to work harder to make it happen.

Hire a real estate professional.

A buyer's market is not the time to represent yourself. It may be tempting to recoup some equity by not paying a real estate agent, but you'll lose more than you'll gain. A real estate professional can give you an accurate overview of the market, help you with strategies, and bring offers from qualified buyers.

Make your home pristine.

In a buyer's market, only location and condition can move buyers to pay more for any home. You can't do anything about location, but you can take condition out of the equation. There's a huge difference between a home that "doesn't need a thing" and a home that "needs work".

Show pride of ownership by putting your home in top move-in condition so that your home is more appealing to buyers than any other home in your price range.

Price

it right.

You can expect lowball offers in a buyer's market, but homes that are priced fairly and in pristine condition will be treated with more respect by buyers.

If prices are falling in your area, ask your real estate professional for help. Pricing according to recent sold comparables might not be as smart as pricing to pending sales - those yet to close.

You have to know what your bottom line is, but pricing your home should have nothing to do with how much you owe creditors, how much cash you need to buy your next home or how much you need for your retirement or any other reason. Buyers will only pay current or pending market value as determined by the most recent comparables.

Keep negotiations pleasant.

Negotiation is a fine art, and it works best when both parties get what they want. For example, you may be willing to take less money in exchange for a cash offer or a quicker closing. Your buyer may be willing to pay your asking price, but they may ask you to pay their closing costs.

You'll quickly realize if you're dealing with a sincere buyer. Respond to the buyer's negotiations with documentation, receipts

Marcel

marcel.dolak@engelvoelkers.com

and other information in a timely manner. If you feel the buyer isn't negotiating in good faith, simply stop negotiations. You're under no obligation to respond to an unreasonable offer. The buyer will get the message.

Buyer's markets work for sellers, too.

Keep in mind that you'll be able to take advantage of falling prices when you buy your next home. You may be able to make up for being in a tougher position on your home sale with the deal you can negotiate on your next home purchase.

marcel.dolak@engelvoelkers.com

Negotiating with Buyers

When you get an offer on your home, your agent will explain to you each point of what the buyers have sent. This includes not just the offer price, but also what type of financing, any closing cost credits, the amount of the earnest money deposit, the closing date they have proposed, any inspections they are requesting, as well as additional considerations like a home sale contingency or post settlement occupancy.

If the offer price is acceptable and you agree with all the additional considerations, you can accept the offer by signing and dating it, and it becomes a ratified contract. If you want to adjust the sales price or any other facet of the offer, you can 'counter' their offer with edits to the conditions that you would like to change. There could be a series of these back and forth counter offers until both you and your buyers agree to all terms or decide to withdraw or reject the offer.

When you are in the middle of back and forth negotiations, your agent is your best resource for keeping a perspective on how each item fits into the overall picture of the offer. Speculating on why a buyer may be requesting something is rarely helpful; they are trying to get the most favorable deal for the home, just as you are trying to have the most favorable outcome as a seller. Knowing the current market climate helps have a perspective on whether a buyer is being unreasonable with any requests. Your agent will be able to guide you through.

Once the offer is ratified, the contingency period will begin for inspections, appraisal, and/or financing and you'll start moving towards your closing date for a successful sale.

CMAs vs Appraisals

Establishing a home's market value is equally important to buyers, sellers, lenders and real estate professionals so that listings can go on market and transactions can proceed quickly and efficiently

A real estate professional may prepare a comparativemarketanalysis(CMA) for their sellers to help them establish a listing price. The CMA includes recently sold homes and homes for sale in the seller's neighborhood that are most similar to the seller's home in appearance, features, and general price range.

Although the CMA is used to help determine current market value, it does not establish the seller's home value. The CMA is merely a guide to help the seller learn what's happening in their local market, so they can better understand where their home fits in term of an estimated listing price, based on location, features and condition.

Once the home is listed on the open market, a buyer makes an offer, which could be based in part on a CMA the buyer's agent has prepared. CMAs can help buyers better understand the local market as well as sellers.

If the buyer is receiving financing through a bank, the bank will order an appraisal

Unlike the CMA, a bank appraisal is a professional determination of a home's value. The appraisal is completed by a licensed appraiser, using guidelines established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which regulates federal housing loan guarantors such as FHA, VA and housing loan purchasers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

An appraisal is a comprehensive look at a home's location, condition, and eligibility for federal guarantees. For example, a home that doesn't meet safety requirements such as handrails on steps will not be eligible for FHA or VA loans until the handrail is installed or repaired.

Appraisers use the same data in their market research to find comparable homes as real estate agents. While they are also members of the MLS, they also have additional guidelines from the bank to follow that minimize risk to the bank. They will take into consideration - and can adjust values to reflect - the speed of the market and whether prices are rising or falling.

When the appraisal is finished, the bank makes the decision to fund the loan, or it may require the seller to fix certain items and show proof that the repairs have been made before letting the loan proceed. If the loan doesn't meet lending guidelines, the bank will decline the loan.

Despite stricter lending and appraisal standards, most buyers' loan applications go through to closing - nearly 85 percent. One reason for that is that real estate agents are preparing CMAs that are better tuned to lending standards, for sellers and buyers to fully understand not only what the market is doing, but how much lenders are willing to finance.

The Value of Your Home

In a neighborhood of similar homes, why is one worth more than another? That's the question that's teased buyers and sellers for ages, but the answer is simple.

Every home is different

When a home is sold, a willing seller and a willing buyer determine the value of that home with the sale price. That price then becomes a benchmark for other similar homes, but other factors come into play. The most important are:

Location

The closer a home is to jobs, parks, transportation, schools, and community services, the more desirable it is.

Size

Square footage impacts home value because a larger home is built using more materials, and gives the homeowner more usable space. And a larger lot size could mean more privacy than a smaller one.

Number of bedrooms and baths

Additional bedrooms and bathrooms raise the value of a home compared to similar homes that do not have those rooms.

Features and finishes

Features such as outdoor kitchens and spa baths make a home more luxurious. A home finished with hardwood floors and granite countertops is going to cost more than a home with carpet and laminate countertops.

Condition

The closer a home is to new construction, the more it will retain its value. It's perceived as more modern, up to date, and perhaps safer. Homes that are not updated or in poor repair sell for less as purchasers' factor in the cost of updating and eventually replacing appliances and systems.

Curb appeal

From the street, the home looks clean, fresh, and inviting. Fresh landscaping and flowers won't change the size or location, but they certainly add charm.

When two homes are identical in the same neighborhood, a higher price may come down to something as simple as views, paint colors, or the overall taste of the homeowner.
