It’s a hot market and homes are selling quickly, but yours didn’t…WHY?? There are a few factors that can cause a home to linger on the market, while others are selling.
Location
Over history it’s been said the three things to look for in buying a property are (1) Location, (2) Location, and (3) Location. There are positive and negative factors to almost every location. Let’s pretend your property is right next door to a fire station. You need the kind of marketing professional that can sell the benefits of not having to worry about your new home burning down, or perhaps the savings on fire insurance. Seriously, no matter where your property may be located, there is a ready, willing and able buyer in the marketplace. You just have to be creative to sell the benefits.
Condition
Making a good first impression is important in getting a property sold. Painting the front door and trim, making sure the doorbell works, putting furniture and clothing in storage and cleaning off countertops are just a few little things we suggest to our clients to make properties more marketable. We would be more than happy to provide you with a Merchandising Review free of charge. A Merchandising Review is a list of 18 Factors that cause properties to sell. We spend the extra time necessary with every client to assure all the little details are taken care of. It’s that attention to detail that sets us apart and enables us to get properties sold.
Price
How soon you want to sell has a direct relationship to the price you receive for your property. A very important statistic to look at when pricing your property properly is the average sales price to list price percentage. This gives you a realistic guideline as to what’s really happening in the marketplace. It may not be what you want to hear; however, for an honest price analysis of your property, call me and I will share with you the price I honestly expect you to receive in today’s real estate market.
Terms
Are you flexible to possession dates? Many times serious buyers that are relocating to an area only look at those properties that offer immediate possession. Are you willing to assist the buyer with financing? Sometimes a seller who is willing to consider trading part or all of your equity for another properties, that makes your property more attractive in the marketplace.
