List a home for sale Myrtle Beach - Five Secrets to listing your home for sale in Myrtle Beach

I receive at least one call every week from a property owner in Myrtle Beach wanting to know what it will take to get a piece of real estate to sell. Of course, most real estate agents will immediately want to lower the sellers price in order to make a quick sale without much work. This works for the agent in acquiring a commission check yet has does major damage to the financial picture of the seller.

Myrtle Beach has had it's share of bad luck in terms of declining values yet there are a few success stories around the market. The key to getting a listing sold in Myrtle Beach has more to do with an aggressive marketing strategy than it does with price.

With that said, here are the top five things you or your Myrtle Beach realtor must do in order to realize success in today's real estate market.

1. Price it fair...don't give it away yet be realistic. Look at the comparable and act as if you were a buyer. If you wouldn't buy it at your price then neither will they.

2. Stop messing around with real estate agents that have no proven results. There are agents in Myrtle Beach selling 70 plus properties a year. Why mess with agents that work full time yet only deliver part time results?

3. Ask your real estate agent for a written marketing plan. A successful agent has a plan. Would you want your financial advisor shooting from the hip ornwould you want to know his plan?

4. Demand communication. Stop waiting for months to get feedback from your agent. Feedback is critical in today's changing market.

5. If it isn't working...make a change.

As a Myrtle Beach realtor, I list and sell homes everyday. I will help over 100 fa ivies buy or sell this year and each of them have followed the above points. I know it seems simple yet simple works.
