We want to share with you 4 ways to help get your home sold for the highest price in the shortest amount of time. Prepping your home for market can feel tedious and stressful, but if done correctly, it can bring you a good return on investment. It's important you work with an experienced agent who knows how to maximize what you can get for your home, and who can create a strategic marketing plan specific to your home.
There are 4 main areas that we focus on when we list a home for a client. The first being...
We like to start our listing appointments by having the homeowner take us for a tour around their home. We do this to make note of any special areas, upgrades and features, and to evaluate what could be done (if anything) to get the home looking its very best for potential buyers. Whether that means painting the walls a neutral color to give it a clean, simple look that appeals to more potential buyers, or replacing old carpet and decluttering/depersonalizing the home.
We have heard enough feedback from buyers and agents to know how important a deep clean and decluttering is to prepping a home for market.
First impressions are everything and that is true when house shopping. Potential buyers will see your home's pictures first and that can play a role in whether they choose to tour your home in person or not. That is why high quality photos that showcase your home's best features and from the best angles is so crucial. We make sure that our listing photos highlight what we see as a selling features. We find that the better the photos look, the more traffic our sellers get which can lead to receiving multiple offers for your property.
Knowing the market specific to your home is important in pricing your home, as well as marketing it to its fullest potential. Your Realtor should know your neighborhood, the surrounding neighborhoods and how they compare with yours, local amenities, and more. Having a realtor who knows your neighborhood well, will allow them to effectively market features, like pools and parks within walking distance or the school district the home is located in - all things that are critical components in a buyer’s home search, which make them critical to call out in your marketing efforts. Another key aspect of having an experienced realtor is gaining access to their network. Allowing them to reach out to their realtor database directly to drum up interest in your home.
You've heard it for several years now, it's a seller's market. Your Realtor should never use that as an excuse to not market your home to its fullest potential. We leverage our network to market our listings to agents, buyers, the local community and nationally. Whether it be through the MLS, social media, custom websites, targeted email blasts, texts and calls to realtors, video campaigns, print marketing. We strategically develop a marketing strategy specific to each of our listings with the intent of reaching the widest audience possible in order to reach the right buyers for our listings in the shortest amount of time.
If you are thinking about selling your home we would love the opportunity to create a customized action plan specific for your home!
