MARKETING YOUR HOME

When you list your house, it must attract the attention of qualified buyers eager to get into a property like yours. Otherwise, your house may take longer to sell and you may not get the price you expected. I work with the industry’s best home stagers, photographers, and videographers. I will ensure that your home looks polished, organized and ready to sell. The majority of buyers look for homes on MLS and other online sites. First impressions are made based on the photos. This is why its imperative the photos look professional and capture every important detail of the home, which may appeal to buyers.

Depending on the characteristics of the home, I will personally select which photographer I believe will capture its essence the best.

Some older homes, like century homes, deserve special attention to certain details like crown moulding, door handles, windows, and other beautiful original features that appeal to that type of buyer. Newer homes may require some sleek staging and photos to stand out and attract attention.

How do You Determine Your Asking Price?

You obviously want to sell your house for the highest possible price. You may even have a number in mind. But, how do you determine if that number is reasonable? You may be concerned that:

• If you list your house too high, few buyers, if any, will see it.
• If your price is too low, you could end up leaving thousands of dollars on the table.

Don’t worry. I will create a pricing strategy that will pique the interest of qualified buyers. I’m also very knowledgeable in the local market. I know what properties like yours sell for, and can get yours sold at the high end of that range.

I begin by getting to know your property and all its desirable features. Then I make some calculations to determine its Current Market Value. That value is based, in large part, on what similar houses in the area have sold for recently.

Of course, buyers won’t pay for the sentimental value you place on your house. But special features such as hardwood floors, a newly renovated kitchen or bathroom, or a beautiful backyard patio can have an impact on how quickly a property sells and for what price. I’ll help you understand all the factors that go into setting the list price, and ensuring it is just right for the marketplace and your goals.

HOW DO YOU ATTRACT QUALIFIED BUYERS?

As an active REALTOR® in the local market, I can get the word out about your listing to all the right people. I know how to attract serious buyers – so a good offer comes in quickly.

To achieve that success, I’ll implement the appropriate marketing plan. After all, there’s more to selling a house than hammering a For Sale sign on the front lawn. I’ll work closely with you to create a marketing plan which may include some or all of the following:

• Taking pictures, virtual 3D tours, and/or drone shots and gathering the details on your property;
• Writing a compelling property profile and creating effective marketing materials;
• Uploading your listing to MLS – the Multiple Listing Service that real estate agents and buyers use to search for properties;
• Placing advertisements in print or on-line publications buyers use to shop for houses;
• Showcasing your listing on my popular website;
• Leveraging the internet and social media to promote your listing;
• Scheduling and promoting public and agent only Open Houses to attract a multitude of buyers.

In addition, I meet with buyers regularly. In fact, the moment your house is listed I get in touch with everyone I know who is looking for a property like yours and encourage them to schedule a viewing. I also tap into my network of other REALTOR’s® so their clients know about your property as well.

My job is to get the right buyers to see your house, fall in love with it, and make a good offer.
