How Well Do You Know Your Sherman Oaks Real Estate Market?
Real estate competition in Sherman Oaks or any town/neighborhood across the U.S. is
in high gear. Potential home sellers having been watching HGTV non-stop and believe they know just how to interview and pick the 'right' selling agent for their home. So of course the minimum of 3-6 real estate agents are interviewed for the ultimate sale of the home in question.
Enter in the relative (and in Sherman Oaks EVERYONE has a family member who is in real estate) who is sure to put the ultimate pressure on this seller for the listing. It is a real estate template I know well. I have found that many other agents have no idea of the market or neighborhoods they are vying to list in. Know little about flood zones or neighborhood attributes, yet they are sure they can sell the home.
A potential home seller should have a better feel for the value of their property other than the assessed value, zillow estimate or family member who says he can sell it for $70,000 less than the San Fernando Valley agent. Yes, shock and fear is something I am finding is being used especially with older individuals in the marketplace. A very unfair target audience and others who only have their own wallet in mind. There are some homes I can not sell without doing a short sale and then there are many homes I can trump the competition on because of my online marketing and in depth knowledge of the Sherman Oaks neighborhood.
I tell potential sellers trust your gut. It usually is right. And do your HGTV interviewing if it makes you comfortable. But the agent that is right for you will be honest with you, show you the market competition, comparative home solds and point out what makes your house the one that stands out from the crowd. How an agent markets the property is the key 'special sauce' so check out to ensure the virtual tours, pictures, online presence and videos bring buyers to your home. Then make your wise decision to sell.
