Pricing your home strategically to be competitive with the current market is
imperative. When listing your home, your REALTOR® should provide you
with a Comparative Market Analysis. This will give you a starting point to
help gauge what your property will bring in today’s market. The Real Estate
market has picked up tremendously since the 2007 plunge but this is still very
much a buyers market. Staging your home to showcase features that buyers
are most interested in, will bring you more money and less days on the market.
Reputable Real Estate professionals should do a staging report for each and
every listing they take. Placing a For Sale sign in a visible location is crucial.
The tools used to sell homes in today’s market are constantly changing. It is
a moving target. Studies have shown that most buyers are looking at homes
online before talking to a professional REALTOR®. Thus, maximum internet
presence is a must! Posting on local and global MLS systems and adding
multiple professional photographs and creative descriptions is a good start.
However, we would urge you to take it further by asking your Realtor

“
What
other forms of advertising and print media do you provide for the listings you
take”.
Professional Photography is one of the most important factors for selling your
home. Many people search and find properties on big Real Estate sites like
Zillow, Trulia or Realtor.com. If your home is not represented well online,
you will not get many showings. Your REALTOR® must have a presence on
these sites. Also, ask to see samples of previous photography. Finally, don’t be
afraid to request updates detailing marketing efforts, including comments from
prospective buyers and agents that have visited your home.

OUR APPROACH
CURB APPEAL
F
or every perfectly staged home
there is one that lacks the luster
today’s buyer has come to expect.
The ugly truth is that if your property
lacks bling so will your sale price.
Think of it this way, when you
purchase a piece of fruit at the
grocery store do you try and find one
with no blemishes or do you look for
one that you can cut off all the bruises
and rough spots. There really is no
difference in Real Estate. Work hard
to make your property appealing!
Most buyers are not in the market for
fixer-upers. Show prospective buyers
that your home has potential. If this
is not your cup of tea, talk to a Real
Estate professional for assistance.
