- 04/25/18 08:49 AM
When you put your home up for sale, one of the best ways to determine the asking price is to look at comparable sales.

Location: Homes in the same neighborhood typically follow the same market trends. Comparing your home to another in the same neighborhood is a good start, but comparing it to homes on the same street or block is even better.

scottsdale homes for sale: How to Choose Social Media for Your Content
- 01/04/18 07:22 AM
This week I'll share my thoughts on what social media channels realtors should choose to post their content.
Since each social media channel is different, it is important to optimize content accordingly. For example, let’s say you just wrote a blog on “Open Houses” as well as created a video about open houses and now you want to share this content on social media.
Since Facebook is very picture heavy and optimized for video, you would want to upload the video natively to your post and then share the link to the blog in the “post” section. Remember to keep the post copy short and sweet!

scottsdale homes for sale: Are You Using Social Media to Market?
- 11/09/17 07:02 PM
Do you know the percentage of realtors that use social media to market their listings?
ANSWER: 9%
NO WAY ONLY 9%? I almost didn’t believe this one either. The audience for home buying wants and craves images of potential homes for them, as well as immediate answers to their questions.
So why haven’t agents delivered on a consistent basis? Social media is an ideal platform for Business to Consumer institutions like real estate agents because it opens the door for real-time conversation.
For example, say an agent posts an album of a newly-listed home. They can also include a quick description of the property and maybe … (0 comments)

- 10/01/17 05:57 PM
Is your home ready for sale from the inside out? Most home owners know that interior staging is essential to selling a home quickly and for the most profit, but too many home owners don’t think to expand their staging vision to the outdoors.

This graphic analyzes the activity for single-family homes in the Scottsdale luxury resale market.
Almost the whole market is humming along with all cylinders firing. However there is little sign that it is going to move up a gear from here… We are at a point where the seller remains in firm control but the seller’s advantage is no longer growing stronger. Whether that brings any significant relief to buyers I very much doubt, because we are entering the period, from early May to early October, when active listing counts tends to fall back, leaving even less supply for them to choose from. … (0 comments)
