How to Price Your Home

Pricing is the #1 element in selling your home. Sellers ask us how they should price their home.

It's important that your marketing expert educates you on what's happening in the market. Are there other homes out there like yours? What are they pricing and selling at? That's our job.

We also look at what your appraisal value is and what the supply and demand is for homes similar to yours. How do we do this?

We determine the absorption rate. That means seeing what the supply is for homes similar to yours compared to how many buyers are out there. This figure will help us determine how quickly your home will sell.

It also tells us how to price - whether it's more aggressive or maybe you can ask for more money.

I hope you find this helpful; if you have any questions about how to price your home, please give me a call.

Thanks for watching!

5 Ways to Get Your Home Ready for the Market

We will gladly  come in and give you a free market evaluation. That way you can see what your home is worth and what you can do to improve it. Here's five tips to help improve your home.

1. Look at your home through the eyes of a buyer - Start from the outside of your home and walk through it with a critical eye. What does your carpet, walls, trim, counter, etc. look like? This can help you see what a buyer will see when they look at your property. 
2. Professional Stager - We bring in our professional stager to get your home in the best showing condition. She knows how to get you the biggest bang for your buck. 
3. Get a pre-inspection - We recommend getting your home inspected before you put it on the market. This way you can fix all those potential deal breakers for a buyer. 
4. Get an appraisal - Just like a home inspection before listing, we also recommend an appraisal. 
5. Get your home in tip-top condition - Make sure the paint isn't chipping, the carpet is fresh, etc. This makes a tremendous difference.
