Selling to SOLD - Selling your home

Alright, you decided, you are ready to sell your home.

Now what???

Well, first we need to establish a reasonable value, right? How do you do that??

First, I select SOLD and ACTIVE homes from within your neighborhood/area of similar functional value and condition. Then I compare the most similar properties to your home and make slight adjustments for value added features like pools, extra bedrooms, lot size and condition.




I am more interested in the Sold comparable properties than the Active Properties. The Sold properties are painting a picture of where the market is and the Active Properties are showing us where the market could be. Also, there are so many low priced Short Sale properties on the market, that the active market could show values way below or above the true market CLOSED (homes that have sold) median value.



Once the value is established, you will decide on a Listing or Asking price.


Pricing is VERY important!! I cannot stress that enough.

If you are priced to high you will not get enough looks and will attract low-ball offers.

If you price to low, you will receive more attention, but you may under-sale your home!


With your Asking price established, you are ready to get your home on the market.

What is the market? For most agents putting a home on the market means, putting it in the MLS. Yikes!

It only takes one person to buy your home, but why not have everyone see it?

I offer the following:
-Posting your home to the MLS for all active agents to see
-Posting your home to Realtor.com, one of the largest real estate sites in the world
-Posting your home to Zillow.com, also one of the largest real estate sites in the world where thousands of qualified buyers can view your home
-Posting your home to Criagslist.com one of the largest sites in the nation
-Post your home to Postlets.com
-A personal website for your home with additional photos www. youraddresshere.com
-A professional Virtual Tour highlighting your home
-Virtual Tour Posting to Youtube.com
-Open House to show your home
-Last but not least, a sign, letting passersby know your home is up for sale.

These 10 tools attract THOUSANDS of qualified lookers.

YOUR HOME WILL HAVE EXPOSURE!
SELL QUICKER AND SAVE YOU MONEY!
FYI, I don't charge extra for this service!

I look forward to helping you sell your home.
