My wife an I had a home to sell in Cary, North Carolina. This home was above the median price in the area so the average days on market in this particular neighborhood was almost a year.
We didn't want to wait that long but didn't want to give the home away either. What to do? Simple, call a fellow Active Rain member: Craig Rutman!
Craig had our home in contract with a qualified buyer within five days after we listed. Yes, it was a good offer. So good in fact we didn't need to counter the sales price.
Craig's sound advice and aggressive marketing sold our home quickly. We listed April 7 and closed May 23. We took Craig’s advice very seriously and followed it. The result: The buyer knew this home would be gone quickly so they made a serious and well priced offer resulting in "home sold". Five days. The neighbors trying to sell for the last year are scratching their heads in disbelief.
Craig did a fabulous job promoting the property. Our home could easily be found on Google, Bing, Yahoo just to name a few. Active Rain also played a big part in marketing the home. We always received weekly reports on who viewed our property even after it was in contract and Craig's Active Rain post showcasing this house received a lot of views.
Once we received the offer to purchase, Craig's skillful negotiations made this one of the smoothest home sales we have ever experienced. Craig went above and beyond and I can't thank him enough. If an Active Rain member blows his competitors out of the water using his Active Rain blog then I think it qualifies as another Active Rain success story!
If you want to sell your Cary, Apex or Raleigh home and don't want it to sit on the market for a year or give it away, hire Craig Rutman and follow his directions exactly!
